Would something like this be accepted by the fans?

Not a fan of the corporate world but compared to some of the cranks that have bought clubs (Leeds, Cardiff, Hull) - Red Bull wouldn't be the worst.

Maybe McCabe should make the call??

 

[TBW57]

No, Nein, Non.

I detest corporate football clubs. I'd much rather my favourite team retained its integrity than bought success through having more money than everyone else. Red Bull can have Wednesday if they like, or West Ham; it would just give us another reason to dislike them, but they can keep their mucky paws off the Blades, thank you.

 

[INTERUNITED]

Sheffield Wednesday are interested apparently. They have heard Red Bull gives you wings, so pigs might actually fly.

 

[boo radley]

No thanks. Imagine what the kit would be.

 

[Grappler]

We would become "The Sheffield Red Bulls", we would play at "The Red Bull Stadium" and we would be forced to sing "you fill up my senses, like a gallon of Red Bull, like a small tin of Red Bull, like a sip of Red Bull, like a night out on Red Bull, like a good swig of Red Bull, like the Sheffield Red Bulls, come bull me again"

 

[Billyblade]

I think if we became RB Sheffield United I could well be out of here

 

[JohnDenver]

come bull me again"

Kev takes offence at that...

Most likely be called Sheffield Red Bulls or Red Bull Sheffield. United would get dropped I reckon.

Sad times if a football league club gets taken over by Red Bull. I would say the ideal club would be MK Dons, they are plastic enough to be sponsored by them.

 

[Tyler Durden]

If that ever happens then I will erase the club from my life like they were never a part of it.

Mcabe has made some monumentally poor decisions, but surely thats a line in the sand that even he wouldn't cross.

Nein Danke.

I wouldn't put it past him.

Guess not, but it's not something someone who claims to be a Blade should ever consider IMHO.

Upon becoming a Red Bull F.C, you sign an agreement to pretty much sell your clubs history and identity....

First and foremost the red and white stripes would be gone as Red Bull Football Club's share a common kit.......

Which leave me asking.......ARE YOU FUCKING MAD?

Same with their Ice Hockey team

 

[The_Green_Man]

And we wouldn't be Sheffield United any more....The United would be dropped and we would become "Red Bull Sheffield".

It'd be as bad as anything MK Dons have done.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Red Bull Sevco Of Glasgow

 

[Tray]

No, no way, and never. In that order.

 

[YES Blade]

How would this work with European football? I didn't think clubs with the same owner are allowed to play each other? So with 3 clubs in Europe all with a good chance of playing in Europe, surely it wouldn't be long before they drew each other?

 

[Zlatan]

Red Bull v MK Dons. Should be a real crowd puller.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Thanks, but no thanks, Red Bull

Now fuck off

 

[Blade56]

It will be a London based or near club. The world starts and end int Sarfff.

 

[rtifati]

Can someone delete this thread? It's very existence might give people ideas.

RB Leipzig (that's RasenBallsport Leipzig, as the very sensible German FA don't allow sponsors to feature in club names) are already the most hated club in the Bundesliga and they've only been in existence for a few years. Why on earth would we want to follow that?

 

[BladeInIreland]

for me they could plaster red bull ads anywhere if it meant sucess. However i draw the line with the name changes. Were sheffield united and we play at bramall lane.

 

[BerksBlade]

So Red Bull sponsor 2 F1 teams, 4 or 5 football teams and any number of other "extreme" sporting events.
How have they made so much money just by selling a fizzy drink with caffeine in it?

Because stupid cunts buy it in large quantities.

I've always thought that because:

1. It tastes like utter shite
2. The only energy drinks I see people drinking are the cheapo supermarket versions

The only explanation I can think of is that the vodka red bull market must be huge.

RB Leipzig and RB New York have no history to sell. The latter was more or less brand new. The former was a village team with at most a few dozen fans. No one complained about the takeover.

Salzburg is different - there they ran roughshod over the supporters.

I don't know about Brazil.

You can't name English teams after sponsors. It isn't allowed. It isn't in Germany either. They are called Rasenball.

Because they sell shitloads of it!
Something like 5.9 BILLION cans of the shite per year which generates a revenue of around €5 Billion!!!!
