The players we had were mid-end championship players at best. DC needs to go but lets get the facts right No we didn't have any debt, We were losing £5m a season under Milan but he wasn't borrowing money from anywhere, so we had no debt. And that mid level championship players you mention were the back bone of every team out out for the next 5 season. Westwood, Lees, Lee, Loovens, Hutch, Palmer, Nuihu. If these are mid championship players how did we ever make it to the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I’m ok with that #uto The naming rights wouldn't be an issue for DC, he couldn't care less what the club is called after he's sold up. Surely any proposed name change would need to be discussed between the new owner and the FA/EFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshallovercome Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I would love to believe that Red Bull are interested in us, in the same way I'd love to believe that DC would cut his losses and sell us for what we're worth, taking a huge hit. But being old and cynical my head just wont allow me to be remotely optimistic. BUT if it did happen I'd be that ecstatic the last thing I'd be concerned about is the naming rights........RB Wednesday would be a dream come true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tewkesbury Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Honestly, as long as Wednesday stays in the name, everything else can go. Wednesday has been part of the club from the start. Owls, the stripes, all of the rest has been picked up along the way and each time something was lost to gain them. Maybe it's time to lose them to gain something else.

Jim Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I know I shouldn’t but I’m starting to get sucked in a bit to this Red Bull Talk. As daft as it sounds, marketing wise we could be the perfect fit and Red Bull Wednesday sounds good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling with laughter Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Fair enough. But as regards exposure world wide due to name nobody will have heard of Forest Green Rovers but plenty will have heard of Forest. Due in no small part no doubt to their European Cup wins. I’d suggest they’d be a far more like target for the likes of Red Bull. Unique name, rich history and great support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
