Rebranding the Blades for global markets ("Hull City Tigers", my arse)

[ShockingBadBuy]

From the letter leaked by our good friend Len on page 1 of the Investment thread, the bit that concerns me a little is this bit:-

"This game changing reshaping of our fine and proud Club is in recognition by our new colleagues of the long standing traditions we have as a family and community orientated football organisation with a rich history and heritage from nearly 125 years of existence".

Now, why would they wish to emphasise this, prior to the announcement of details ? I hope I am worrying unnecessarily ...

Ahh you're cottoning on!

Sheffield City Blades (amalgamated with Wednesday playing in blue and white at a new stadium, Mandaric wants out, McCabe wants out). A better conspiracy theory than 'did they really go to the moon or studio 324 at Pinewood?'

A fan on Football Heaven mentioned this point and suggested we were going to be renamed "The Tom, Dick and Harry Stadium". Are there three investors then?

 

[Railway Blade]

If its Arab investors perhaps it will be" welcome to beautiful downtown camel lane"

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

Maybe even a colour change, like Cardiff

Sheffield Camel Toe Football club?

Or perhaps go the full way and change the shirt colour like Cardiff...

It's a 50% stake investment for christ sake, not a full blown takeover. There'll be no kit colour change or name change of the club. Bramall Lane may become the al Nusra Front Stadium (other Middle East political groups are available) or similar but it would only be part of circumnavigating the Football League salary cap or whatever it is.

Come on now, go to bed everyone. It's been a giddy day. I'll be turning the light out in 5 minutes.....

Change the name to simply "United", could fool half of the world into thinking we're Man U.

When are England holding the world cup

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

Yeah were going to play in b*** & white and play in a world cup stadium . in ya fookin dreams boy .

And I never said I would like a colour change

No it's the south side, Kamakura. Although I'll be wearing my lead trunks anyways.

I wouldn't like the ground to be renamed but considering its a way round the financial fair play thing, I think I'd take it! I wouldn't be so keen on renaming the team or changing our colours though!

 

[Northern Rivers Blade]

A name change would be just great. Welcome to the world's oldest stadium: the beautiful downtown South China Airways Superdome.

I'd rather be skint than name the ground after a sponsor.

One way around this is for the sponsor to name itself "Bramall Lane" then everybody wins!

They would probably spell it Bramhall Lane ...
