We have got to a point where if the team play for 90 minutes they are doing well. Basics that should be at the ground are not there, like running hot water and kiosk that are proper stocked on match days, the megastore shop is like something from the 1990's, the training ground is where most of our players get injured not in matches, because it is not fit for purpose, the ground is crumbling, it has not been improved since the early 1990's for Euro96, the first team is half made up of other teams players and when ever we do get a youth player come through, we value them that little they leave for elsewhere. other teams are struggling but I bet there is few in the state of apathy that we are in. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Come on you Blue and White Red Bull Owls" is a bit of a mouthful and a tad confusing, tho'? On a serious note, would there be more deserving causes for such a massive investment in the English League alone? Red Bull don't do it by halves so wouldn't they be looking at clubs already "established" in a higher league or a better potential to reach that status quicker than Wednesday... maybe the likes of Burnley, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Watford, Norwich, etc? Given our experiences of investment versus FFP, it's not a foregone conclusion that anyone can buy out DC and make it a successful club in the Championship or PL.

Jim Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I don’t know anything. Never been ITK probably never ever will be but one constant I’ve seen is Red Bull one way or another linked with us mainly through twitter/rumours etc. Whether there is any truth in these links/rumours, who knows? But perhaps the stories still doing the rounds now suggest they may have a genuine interest in us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
