  • I don't hope for this. I can see us being referred as a franchise if Red Bull bought us.

    Again, the ground would be under a much greater threat under Red Bull than it would ever be under RD, as would the club badge, kit and name

    "Would", or "could"?

    Another year and I'd take anyone (maybe not Oyston).

    We've been through this many, many times. They don't buy clubs to enhance a team's prospects, they do it to enhance the Red Bull brand (whilst changing the name and kit).

    And the team just happens to become amazing.

    Intresting if they ban the network across borders. That would end Rolly's plans!

    red bull would be roland's final "fuck you" to the supporters. I've said in the other thread, if they change the kit, change the badge and move ground... is it really charlton anymore?

    So that they can expand the brand and make yet more money.

    If you'd like white shirts, bulls on the badge, a name change and to visit the RB Arena every fortnight... You wouldn't be going to watch Charlton play.

    And yet it's still strangely tempting.

    Have "we" been through it many many times? What was my view then, seeing as you seem to know all about me?

    For the record, I wouldn't want red bull as owners. But Sam seems to be saying that we'd be better off under the current shitpot because he knows exactly what both parties would do. Not a view or opinion on what they might do. He KNOWS what they are thinking. He's gifted.

    It's not difficult, look at every team red bull have bought. New badge new name new kit couloir and new stadium name. We would absolutely be better off identity wise under these lot

    Might as well save time and support Chelsea then. It won't be Charlton once red bull have taken over

    Why are you wilfully misunderstanding people? Sam never said anything about knowing the future, he's said Red Bull are more likely to change things, which is backed up by several historical examples.
    And RedPanda clearly meant 'we' as in this forum.

    It's like you're really angry and trying to start an argument. It's unnecessary.

    Are you for real?


    Past behaviour is the best indicator of future behaviour. What Sam is saying is exactly what they have done at every sports enterprise they have owned.

    Are you disputing whether they would do that to us? Really?

    What information do you have that suggests they would treat us any different?

    Here from the grass alert thread. Chief grass here for some good ol' CL scrapin. Let's get on with it...

    Good old @Off_it
  • What if they bought Millwall, would we be glad it wasn't us when they are 4th in Prem and smashing us 6-0 in the Fa Cup with every kid in the area wearing a RB Millwall FC Shirt.

    What choice eh?

    Either watch our club languish in the lower tiers of League football to be a perpetual shop window for our gifted academy players and the not-so-gifted network journeymen, and watch our attendances dwindle to virtually nothing.

    Or have a chance back at Premier League glory, but risk anything from the Valley being rebranded the Red Bull Valley, to our badge being rebranded with the bull.

    The first option condemns our club, but the second option condemns our heritage. What's more important?
