We've plenty of fires needing put out now so maybe Red Adair? :dunno::greengrin

[weecounty hibby]

I would be amazed if anyone had to pay 25 mill for Hibs. I'm pretty sure STF has said that he would be very easy to negotiate with and don't think he was meaning 25 million. Red Bull Hibernians, makes a change from Bull **** Hibernian though. I suppose we can dream

[Bayern Bru]

We've plenty of fires needing put out now so maybe Red Adair? :dunno::greengrin

Must be some mistake. What if it's actually Red October?

That ended up at the bottom, too. :greengrin

We do not get red bill's at Easter Road, we pay our bills. Someone confusing us with another club.:greengrin

I don't know about red bull - I've read some bull though.

[HibeeMG]

I heard that we're signing a lad called Sebastian Vettel. Supposed to be a driving force in midfield. :wink:

Interesting - has he an interest in our Mickey Mouse defending?

[ScottB]

Definitely quick off the mark :agree:


Even if this was true, they like to rename their clubs, and the SFA have already blocked Stirling Albion adding 'Meerkats' to their name, so can't imagine we would be allowed to become Red Bull Hibs.

[Sherlock Jones]

Interesting - has he an interest in our Mickey Mouse defending?

Indeed. Mickey himself might have been interested but he's still rolling around on the floor helpless wi laughter.

[down-the-slope]

Who do they own thus far? Red Bull Saltzburg...anyone else?

Might be awkward with Crabbies as sponsor :wink:

[cad]

Its from transfer rumours



31 Dec 2011 20:00:34
An American sports agent acting for red bull sports is trying to secure a deal to buy hibs for the last two weeks. Tom farmer will sell but wants to keep the land and lease it to the new owners. That could stall the £25 million deal.



Todays rumour is Deek signing for them

Am treating OP as being serious :greengrin:wink:

Was there not a case with UEFA a few years back where a German/Austrian brewery proposed buying a football club and it was blocked ?

[Pretty Boy]

Hibernian Red Bulls playing at the Torro Roso stadium in silver, blue and red strips.

Sounds good to me.

[LancashireHibby]

Who do they own thus far? Red Bull Saltzburg...anyone else?
Don't they a team in the MLS as well?

[Jones28]

Absolute bull mair like :rolleyes:

[Westie1875]

Don't they a team in the MLS as well?

Yep, New York Red Bulls.

[Mark79]

Only asking if anyone had heard the same. Personally think its a load of Tom kite.

[justlikebrazil]

Is there not a New York red bulls

[Jones28]

Is there not a New York red bulls

:agree:

Personally think its pish...but :pray:

[Cropley10]

Yes of course they are. Jesus wept.

[surreyhibbie]

Yes of course they are. Jesus wept.

At least it gave us a laugh...:wink:

[sundo1875]

Why would they want to invest in hibs?

[Keith_M]

On the basis that the OP isn't at the windup...


There's Red Bull New York, Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig. The latter weren't allowed to incorporate the Red Bull name into the club name, hence the RB.

ALL Red Bull teams play in the same colours; unsurprisingly, it's RED. Maybe Aberdeen or Airdrie would be a better bet

[cad]

£25 m in a Scottish football team , Hibs ,never happen not as long as your bum points down the way .







Never say never in football tho
:wink:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Red Bull....gives you wing(er)s?
Yes please.
The caffeine helps to keep you awake as well.

[down-the-slope]

Don't they a team in the MLS as well?

Think you are correct

[ScottB]

Even if they did, Red Bull are a business. They'd hardly be willing to turn up and pour money down the drain.

Their sports programs have two purposes. 1. Advertising. 2. Brand building. I can't see how Hibs, or indeed any Scottish club would fit that bill. Scotland is not a major market, nor does its football get much media attention.

Could have a very alternative away strip :greengrin

Seriously though, maybe they think cost and regulation factors mean EPL is not possible, but with new Sky deal there is TV exposure for sure over whole UK and metions in sport reports etc...these companies Advertising budgets are massive...the stuff costs nowt to make and the brand promotion is where all the dosh goes...it may actually be a cheap option when you think that they then have promotion for ever out of it...

Just think...its not made up it happens...Torro Rosso Hibernian win the SC.....now who could argue that it gives you wings after that :wink:

[ScottB]

Yes, Austria is a massive market.

They are an Austrian company, it could well be that Salzburg is the owners boyhood team.

Still a bigger market than Scotland however!

Heres a surprise
5 football teams...and Austrian Ice Hockey Team... Come on Vlad your not trying :greengrin

[Beefster]

Yes, Austria is a massive market.

If they weren't an Austrian company, it's unlikely that they'd own an Austrian club.

[IWasThere2016]

Has got to be a better path than the one Black Rod's got us on!

[hibs1875]

[The_Todd]

The only reason anyone would invest in Scottish football now is because it would be cheap and easy access to the Champions League (ie a billionaire could buy Hibs, win the SPL with relative buttons and get to the CL qualifiers - if same investors bought, say, Wigan for example it would be impossible). Won't ever happen though.

He's from Salzburg and that's where their HQ is located.

Would be great though :greengrin

[Jack]

As a fan of their F1 team and an admirer of how Red Bull have sponsored and bought sports outfits around the world I'd love to see this. Realistically though it sounds like a can of pish - which is what I think the drink smells of :-D

[HibsMax]

We're going through a bad period right now so perhaps it's red tide?

Some Russian boy though this way too. Romonov or something.

[Prawn Sandwich]

Red Bull buying Hibs? Can't see it myself. More likely Red Bull buying Hibs shirt sponsors Crabbies for £24 million?

[greenginger]

Last thing STF said at the Club's AGM was he was open to offers from anyone who wanted to invest in the Club. He did'nt mention selling but at his age he must be thinking of an exit strategy.

[Hibercelona]

Perhaps this is just the sort of investment we need. :agree:

It would certainly make us better on the wings.

[The_Todd]

Some Russian boy though this way too. Romonov or something.

Our Russian pal was more after a real life game of Championship Manager than actual success, however. Any other club who've spent as much as Hearts under Vlad would have made a much better fist of things.

[Winston Ingram]

SSV Markranstädt were changed to Red Bull Leipzig and the stadium changed from Zentralstadion to The Red Bull Arena
SV Austria Salzburg and were changed to Red Bull Salzburg and the Stadium to The Red Bull Arena
New York Metro Stars were changed to New York Red Bulls and the built a stadium called to The Red Bull Arena
Red Bull Brasil were created in 2007 by Red Bull

It's certainly possible that they'd be interested as they are looking to increase the number of the clubs under the Red Bull umbrella. If they do buy us they will change our name and the name of our ground to to The Red Bull Arena

Red Bull Hibernian at the Red Bull Arena :confused:

[bingo70]

Considering this rumour appeared from that football rumours website there really isn't even any point in discussing it, all its doing is putting unrealistic ideas in peoples heads

It's no goin to happen and living within our means is going to be the way forward, as it is for all clubs so bringing through good young players is how we'll achieve success not through ridiculous 25m transfer kittys

[matty_f]

First off, I think the rumour's a load of baws, but seeing as it's being discussed you've pointed out one of the very reasons that I can't see it happening. Red Bull Hibernian?? Would anyone be happy with that?

The Red Bull Arena wouldn't bother me - Easter Road will always be Easter Road, no matter what sponsor's label is attached to it, but the team name changing would be unacceptable, IMHO.

That all said and done, we are ripe for a takeover. Certainly anyone looking at the two Edinburgh clubs would consider Hibs a far more attractive proposition than the Yams.

[Antifa Hibs]

Am I seeing this right? People would actually welcome investment from these monkeys, erasing 137 years of history for the chance of finishing third or maybe another league cup win? Red Bull Hibernian playing in silver and blue at the Red Bull Arena with a set of bull horns as the badge.

Get a grip FFS.

Against modern football eh.......

[PerthHibby]

Maybe the soon to be one team city:greengrin will have a new name the 'Hibernian Red Bulls'

Red Bull might be looking at tapping in to some of the 300k+ that will have nowt to do on a Saturday:greengrin

[Albion Hibs]

Maybe some investor in the far east working on behalf of Red Bull saw Vlads valuation of hertz at 80m with a shack of a stadium, no training facility and a mountain of debt and thought that Hibs seemed like a bargin at 25m. They will open the books then disappear off and buy some championship club, or bulgarian net ball team.

Alternatively they have seen sales of red bull go through the roof in scotland as a result of the jager bomb and decieded to give a little back!

Totally agree.

The investment would be welcome but they would definitely change our name

[weonlywon6-2]

i think its a lot of rubbish as well,but for discussions sake,if it were true id be happy fore the investment to safeguard hibs future which in turn put a far better team on the pitch.....something we can only dream of just now.

easter road will always be easter road to me so they can do what they want with the stadium name,they wouldnt change our colours though, but we can guess who the shirt sponsor is !!

[Keith_M]

Totally agree.

The investment would be welcome but they would definitely change our name

ALL of their clubs play in the same colours (http://redbulls.com/), so the name would change, the colours and the stadium name.

Can't see it somehow

[Phil MaGlass]

and another thing, the strips look more bloody maroon than red,think if that was to happen(colour change) I would stop being a Hibs fan.Hibernian red bulls I might handle but a club colour change???

[ScottB]

As I already posted, the SFA blocked Stirling Albion changing to the Stirling Albion Meerkats, even though at that point they were at risk of hitting the wall, and the Compare the Market cash would have solved their problems.

I really can't see us being allowed to change our name, even assuming Red Bull would want us. They don't!

[Hibernia Na Eir]

Baileys would be good :greengrin

[Northernhibee]

If this was to happen (which it won't), I simply wouldn't return.

We aren't Red Bull Hibernian, or the Hibernian Red Bulls, and we play at Easter Road, not the Red Bull arena.

[matty_f]

Would we need to change our nickname to Hibulls?:greengrin

Red bull gives ye wings. Maybes we could use a set of radge wings, pick up the baw and drop the ****ing thing in the goals given our current inability to get the baw up front and anywhere near the opponents goals?

Red bull buying hibs? Russian sailors? Sell oor passport?

Vintage radgeness?

[Eyrie]

I could live with Hibernian RB playing at the Red Bull Arena Easter Road, but would draw the line at a change of strip colour.

Can't see it happening anyway.

I'm with you 100% AH. If Hibs were changed in this way I'd be watching AFC Hibernian playing at Meadowbank in the East of Scotland League. We wouldn't be on our own.

Agree with this. Red Bull Hibs or Hibs RB would always be Hibs. As for the stadium name who gives a ****. But imagine if they bought the two Edinburgh teams Red Bull Edinburgh. Now where's my HoH t-shirt

[matty_f]

IMHO that's no different from the Yams going bust and coming back as Heart of Midlothian 2012 or something similar. The name is an integral part of the heritage of the club. It's practically sacred and there's no danger it should be sold off like that, IMHO.

Regardless, it's complete fantasy anyway so there's no point me getting worked up about it!:thumbsup:

[Beefster]

I'll tell you what - if MacDonald's buy Hibs, change our name to 'Big Mac Golden Arches Hibs FC', change the stadium name to the 'Ronald McDonald Happiness and Blocked Artery Ampitheatre' and make the players wear big wigs and red noses, I won't be back.

This. Its embarrassing that some so-called hibees would surrender our name and colours for some investment. Red Bulls teams are widely despised for symbolizing everything that is wrong with modern football.

This is some crazy nonsense anyway and even if it were true im confident that we have enough proud supporters to ensure it would not proceed.

Red Bull will never invest in a Scottish team, they would only do it if they could totally revamp the team to become i.e Red Bull Hibernian... The SFA wouldn't allow it, remember a few years ago they rejected Stirling Albions application to change name to the Stirling Albion Meerkats when compare the market tried to by them. They don't want to lose the integrity of the leagues.

Aye of the opinion this is mince too, perhaps iI should say...I hope it is. Though there was a documentary not that long ago about SV Austria Salzburg/FC Red Bull Salzburg and the fans being none to happy with what they got, apparently the clubs soul has been ripped out. Can't see many of us being happy with that prospect, they don't even have the façade of being a works team like Bayer Leverkusen, PSV or Sochaux. Just a commercial enterprise that has no ( or little ) relevance or respect for the clubs history and tradition.
(btw not criticising Bayer Leverkusen, PSV or Sochaux just using them as an example)
