Sky Bet Football League thread 2015/16

We don't really know exactly what this means, either he's just completely changed his mind and doesn't want to sell at all or he's received a better offer from someone else. 

 

LFU was always a pipedream anyway if we're being honest

[Lineker]

Thus further dwindling the current number BAME managers...

[Benji]

Big American Monster Energy™ Managers?

[Lineker]

You are sooooo desperate to Bingo AND prove it.

[Benji]

Nah, I got my bingo, now I'm just bored.

@Matt it isn't just you that has a dodgy chairman, our guy might be extradited to Albania over some money laundering business. He does look a bit shady tho.

[Matt]

But we've had a decade and a half of corrupt or just generally inept chairmen 

I'm not sure Red Bull is the answer either tbh but as long as they keep the club name then I won't really mind them taking over, I guess. I could live with red bull sponsorship and playing at the red bull stadium.

I miss Barry Hearn. He wasn't spectacular but he kept the club steady for a long time, the books were balanced to a degree, we had some success and he had scary teeth. Considering he bought the club for a fiver that ain't too sad. I just hope this all gets sorted out pronto and nothing bad happens to Orient, because you can't have football without The O's. 

Red Bull Leeds United has a snappy ring to it

Considering how well Hull's name change has gone I don't see Red Bull being able to change your name.

[King Ellis]

Maybe they'd have more success over here altering the name of a Rugby League team.

Bradford Red Bulls.

QPR have sacked Chris Ramsey too.

Yeah I highly doubt it too, but then equally I question whether they'd be interested in buying the club at all if they can't rename it

[Benji]

Could just use "Red Bulls" as a nickname? Could call the ground "The Red Bull and Peacock" like a pub

[Noah]

Still being undefeated is awesome but Brighton need to stop it with all the draws!

If all those draws had been wins, they'd have been 14 points clear at the top!

Huddersfield have appointed German-American David Wagner, Jurgen Klopp's #2 at Dortmund, as their new manager.

That is brilliant and everything but it is typical bias against Leyton Orient Football Club. You lot never talk about us and I for one am tired of it. Sort it out, you tarty slapper.

[EddieG]

Wasn't it rumored that he left the squad to join Liverpool, he was apparently Klopp's best man at his wedding, or am I thinking of someone else?

Easy rumour to come up with due to both being at Dortmund. 

Might lead to us sending players on loan to them though, you never know. 

[Adam]

Wasn't he U23s manager, rather than Klopp's #2? Left-field appointments like this rarely work out in the Football League.

[Noah]

Yeah take that MK Dons!
