Why are you worried, the amount of team you support it might help you remember your shopping

If John B*tchelor ever gets in charge of another side it will happen.

It will happen imo yes. Red Bull bought SV Austria Salzburg 4 years ago now and they're a fairly big club that win leagues and have reached the UEFA cup final as well before.

There were talks of them buying an English team too. Can't remember which.

IIRC the supporters at Salzburg formed a new club after the red bull takeover

I can see somebody trying it, but they won't get away with it.

Couple of Welsh and Scottish teams have already done this. Will only be a matter of time until the smaller sides begin to do so.

Not sure we'll see PL sides doing it just yet, will probably happen though. I mean what does it matter to a team like Hull or Burnley who arent really known anyway outside of their home city!

Airbus is named that because it was their team, TNS however was part of a sponsorship deal although IIRC it doesnt stand for Total Network Solutions any more.

Airbus had been called plenty of diffferent names in the past and was originally Vickers-Armstrong.

Ah, I always thought Airbus was called that as it was the Airbus UK team.

Looking on Wiki, thats only because the factory name has changed, its not down to sponsorship just the fact the company the team is named after has changed hands/names.

They are supporting a company team, can hardly expect it to be called Airbus if the company changes its name
