Red Bull Hibernian

**theonlywayisup** · 13-12-2018 08:41 PM

Would you be happy if Red Bull bought Hibs and pumped money into the club.

Hypothetical question, of course.

**hibs#1** · 13-12-2018 08:43 PM

Money yes. Change of name,identity etc absolutely not.

***jacomo*** · 13-12-2018 08:46 PM

This was discussed on here recently and I think the majority verdict was ‘no’. Not for me either.

Red Bull don’t put in the money for nothing. Hibs as we know it would die.

Actually, it's been discussed on here at least five times before....

and the answer is always the same.

Yip! I picked a brilliant team the only player I kept was Lewis and I got shot down in flames 😂

Plastic glorified advertisements? No thanks

***Diclonius*** · 13-12-2018 09:03 PM

I would never go back to Easter Road (or the Red Bull Arena as it would be renamed) if we were taken over by Red Bull.

**** that.

***Hibbyradge*** · 13-12-2018 09:05 PM

What about Monster?

No.

**whiskas** · 13-12-2018 09:16 PM

I could just about tolerate Red Bull Hibernian but I draw the line if we start being referred to as a franchise

**theonlywayisup** · 13-12-2018 09:18 PM

Hadn't realised it had been discussed before.

I'll close thread later. Doesn't seem to be an option on my Kindle.

Minus the name change, is is really any different from how Manchester City have achieved success with beautiful football?

What do the Salzburg or Leipzig fans think about it?

It would be Red Bull Edinburgh.

Atleast Man City play in the same colours and have kept their original name. We would become Red Bull Edinburgh and no longer play in Green so it would be a massive difference.

Red Bull have ruined the Austrians league.
11 average teams and a monster.
RB Saltzberg 14 points ahead of their nearest challengers this season and are unbeaten.

Remarkably the monster only averaged 7,600 supporters at their home games last season!

What’s their player budget

**~~The 90+2~~** · 13-12-2018 09:42 PM

Yep. Go for it. RB Hibernian. Keep our colours the turmoil the rest of the league would be in would be amazing.

Pretty sure their two teams just pumped our two biggest clubs. Hardly ruined. They have much more money and much better players as shown in both games this evening. I would be delighted if we had a packed Easter Road skelping everyone basing on anyone’s money.

Don't know but it must be massive.
The quality of their players tonight was frightening.

There are only 2 other Austrian team who had larger average home attendances than them last season.
Sturm Graz at just over 10,000 and Rapid Vienna at 18,800 which isn't much more than Hibs and Hearts.
A football apathetic country. Why did Red Bull to put their money into it?

At least the French league is well supported by fans but i agree PSG basically being owned by a country with what appears infinite wealth is making their league pointless for other teams.

Because they are from Salzburg

A lot of their fans stopped going when taken over by RB. RB changed their name, their badge and worst of all their historic and famous violet jerseys.
A Phoenix club has been formed and is making its way up the Austrian league system

The poster above you added the French league to your list of the Spanish, Dutch, Italian, German and English leagues.
It is no coincidence that these are the 6 best supported 1st tier leagues in Europe hence the reason that countries, companies and the uber rich want to have clubs in these leagues.
Strangely Scotland is the 7th best supported top league in Europe but none of the aforementioned are chucking money into our teams.
What i find strange is Red Bull putting their money into a club in a country that by the match attendances is apathetic towards football.
