Guest Tractorowl Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Milan giving the owl statuette today got me thinking. I remember, some years ago, the company I worked for spent millions on a worldwide rebrand with an owl logo. They then did a rapid u turn in the Far East as the owl is regarded as very unlucky. Thailand was one of the countries that required change. Hopefully our new owner is not superstitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clud17 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 He has said that he was drawn to us because of our heritage, which includes the Owl. Don't you think that he would have considered that before parting with 37 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth having a look in the bins on Parkside Road to see if the new chairman dumped that hideous owl that Milan gave him at the press conference .
