This is a wee piece of news i heard about finance possibly getting better at our club. To ibrox noise and all fellow bears out there here's what i've heard. As we all know, rangers are going over to germany, in january, to play RB leipzig in a friendly. Here's what i've been told by a friend of mine who's from scotland and is an sv hamburg season ticket holder. He has it on good authority, from a prominent person who has a voice within sv hamburg, that rangers WILL be replacing 32Red (deal runs out at the end of the season) as their shirt sponsors, with RED BULL who own leipzig. They will according to him become our new shirt sponsors, taking over from 32Red at the end of this season. He also tells me that RED BULL looking to put money into rangers, with the possibility of an ibrox stand being sponsored and having the RED BULL name emblazoned on it. He also went on to tell me that RED BULL want to actually buy a football club in britain, with rangers and an unnamed english club at the top of their list. This potentially, could be tremendous news for us financially! He assures me there is a lot of talk about this in germany. Well fellow bears and ibrox noise, what's your take on this info i've given you? Must admit it could be brilliant news for us, if it comes to fruition! Has anyone else heard anything regarding this?
Please post ed.

Would prefer a tennents.

Look at all the teams red bull own, they change the name of their clubs.
09 Nov 2016 21:01:23
Red Bull are destroying football. Speak to any German fan about Red Bull and they'll tell you all you need to know.

Pure Bull Rangers 😁. Oh wait. that's the current team. 😉 actually, it sounds like a possibility.

Not sure how much real interest here but certainly exploratory discussions could be taking place. We are an attractive brand with significant value and will be of interest to a wide range of number of commercial companies. Looking forward AGM and hearing what Board have to say about the financial plan.

Yeah i'd be ok with a stand being sponsored but that would be it they could not alter the name eh?
09 Nov 2016 21:38:18
Soons like a load o old bull, lol.

What stand and if we do think what the men who have stands named after them gave to the club would some energy drink company come close I doubt it we need people who love the club to invest not a faceless corporation.

Well red bull does give you wings.

"Soul for sale - willing to listen to any and all offers. "
Why not just, I dunno, cut your cloth accordingly and build the foundations of a solid business model and work from there?

This morning on talksport rumours linking red bull with Swindon before sherwood appointed director. Dunno if that English club they looking at?

Aye poetic patient Dermot Desmond is an excellent business strategy.

If you actually think that's the same thing, and are not trying to point score, then there really is no hope for you.
11 Nov 2016 06:01:32
Point score 😂. Says the man who started his comment with "Soul for sale. " Try taking a look in the mirror. You probably know more about Rangers business model than I do. Most Celtic fans seem to be either tax lawyers or business experts these days. The last I checked though Rangers seem to be hamstrung by an unscrupulous charlatan who is currently facing the wrath of the British government. He's a popular guy in the east end of Glasgow though, regardless of how he treats his workers in Derby.

That wasn't point scoring, that was an interpretation of not only this latest "hope", but the countless number of such over the last four years that Rangers fans have moved towards. And you need only do a touch of research to find out all about RB and what they are doing to football but here's the abridged version: it's the football equivalent of selling your soul.
You're correct. I probably do know more about your business model because you, like many other Rangers fans, would rather compare yourself to Celtic, and in the face of any (warranted) advice or criticism, deflect and seek some sort of false equivalency. Case in point, in each reply you've managed to make it about Celtic. And that's ok, but if/ when the financial rumblings get increasingly louder, and it looks like it could be administration (or worse), you'll rest easy knowing you skipped any sort of inward interrogation, and instead tried your hardest to point score and make this about another team.

Surely when a Celtic fan comes on to have a dig at Rangers it's only fair to make the comparison? Financial rumblings? Is this just what you lot live for? Desperate to see us go out of business? I'm sure another set of t-shirts are on the way for you mugs to waste your money on 😂.
12 Nov 2016 14:00:47
A. It wasn't a dig, it was a suggestion.
B. My being a Celtic fan has nothing to do with the financial problems facing your club - or my (or any other persons) to see them. If that's all you choose to focus on, then as I said above, you're as big a part of the club's problems as the charlatans you curse.
C. It doesn't need to be about whatabouterry and false equivalence - but if that is what gets you through the day, so be it.
