If Redbull bought us tomorrow

[abbs]

mags ground is plastered with sports direct shite !
So at least they couldn't take the piss out of us ! Oh hang on , they'd still try !

can't touch our name though , so I'd rather not bother

 

[BumbleBee]

No. As long as it's not a ginger shade of red.

How successful in football have they actually been so far? I haven't got clue, which is why I asked.

Salzburg were already one of the biggest teams in Austria. Leipzig are second in the Bundesliga after being promoted last year, but are despised by every other team because the success has been bought. New York don't count because ... well, it's MLS.

If Redbull bought out Ellis Short tomorrow and wanted to rename us Redbull Sunderland would you have any issues with the re-branding?

It wouldn't be SAFC any longer so aye, I'd be a bit miffed.

No, if Sunderland are mid table fine, Red Bull Sunderland being mid table would be shite.

Whats the difference, it'll still be Sunderland.

 

[SteveFTM]

Should be welcomed with open arms, we would still be Sunderland 'til we die, nobody can change that.

Dignity.

Dignity.

Seems you'd be worried we'd look bad or 'plastic' in the eyes of other supporters.

Fvck other supporters, we should worry only that our club is healthy and successful.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

So if the red and white stripes got ditched for a fetching silver and blue number .......

After the shit we gave the mags when SJP was rebranded to then have our name changed would be embarrassing.

Leipzig, Salzburg and New York all have red and white kits, so it's unlikely they'd change us to silver.

Honestly, couldn't give the tiniest of sh!tes what they think. So long as our club is healthy and doing well I really don't care what anybody else outside of our club thinks about us.

Each to their own.

Each to their own.

Surely better to not care what others, especially mags, think about us.. and ultimately this could be to our detriment.

The Red Bull arena has got a ring to it

Bull wearing a shirt of course!!

 

[Pup]

Couldnt give a fuck me. Theres no soul at that club to rip out anyway. Hopefully the would invest money into the city too.

A plus would be everyone would hate us which is fine by me cos i hate everyone else

 

[Grimsby Mackem]

Red Bull Sunderland would be fine by me. Better than our current name, Sunderland Nil.

 

[Niblet61]

We'd have to change our nickname too, "the Red Bull Black Cats" just doesn't sound right..
Yes, I would object.

 

[poisson]

FA only blocked it due to fan outrage.

wasn't 100 % but still shows they can. Saying that they'd prob back a name change for us

 

[JL1985]

I'd happily be called Dog Nonce United is it meant we were competitive

 

[The Hunt]

They wouldnt change the team name, as know would be a bit of a backlash (loads of faux outrage in media etc), they arent daft the marketing people at Redbull.

Wouldt probbaly rename the ground the Redbull Arena though.
