You'd prefer to stay Leeds United in the "Championship" for the next 5 years rather than seeing Leeds Red Bulls playing in the Premier League?



I can totally understand why a supporter would accept LU becoming LRB if it meant a return to the the club's rightful position. To those supporters Leeds will always be Leeds United. Just like I used Premier League when really it's the Barclays Premiership. A lino is still a linesman to me, screw that "referees assistant" BS. Just like Man United just won the Charity Shield on Sunday.



Why did you allow yourself to be brainwashed about RL but refuse to accept the brainwashing as part of football?

why can't people get it in there heads its avertising names that are banned. city,rovers,tigers are ok. its not hull city tesco is it ffs

A loaded question. There are no guarantees in football.



A true supporter of leeds united would want nothing to do with red bull especially given their record in football.



I didnt allow myself to be brainwashed by anything, i only really started watching leeds when they had changed already.

The rules say nothing about advertising.



Hull City have just shown that the rules don't even matter. Just like they've just announced that they are now Hull City Tigers to the press but actually done nothing official about it, so could Leeds United by announcing that they are the Leeds Red Bulls.



Your buddy "high up in the FA" who talks big about not allowing it. Why haven't the FA come out and said that Hull City have not followed official procedures for the name change so they are still Hull City as far as the FA are concerned. It's because the FA are gutless and foolish and won't go up against the clubs. If they won't point out that Hull City are still Hull City when it's just the divvy owner who wants it, why would they go up against Leeds United and Red Bull to stop a multi million pound deal?



The FA may not allow Leeds United to officially call themselves the Leeds Red Bulls. But that won't stop Leeds United replacing the signs at Elland Road so that everything says Leeds Red Bulls. It won't stop the players and managers constantly referring to themselves as the Leeds Red Bulls. It won't stop most of the press calling the team Leeds Red Bulls.



I think there are good reasons why the rename won't happen. The biggest is that many fans would hate the name change and refuse to accept it. There's also the damage to Leeds as a club. There's the fact that Leeds United could become the Leeds Red Bulls and still end up stuck in the Championship.



But the FA are not one of the reasons it might not happen. The FA are just a speed bump the club would just swerve round.

A true supporter of Leeds United would want what was best for Leeds United. If calling the club LRB for a decade meant that the club were able to become a top PL club again then I think most LU fans would accept it as a price worth paying.



Fair enough if you are a new supporter to RL since the summer move. But a great deal of people on here have supported RL for longer than that. Leeds were pretty poor at accepting the move to summer and the awful change of name to the Rhinos. But RL clearly needed to try something because of the problems throughout the game. Now Leeds RL are the Leeds Rhinos and have grown into the biggest club in British RL. That wouldn't have happened if the fans had continued to throw tantrums about the Rhinos name. I can understand a true supporter of LUFC accepting and supporting LRB, as horrible as that sounds at this moment.

We will just have to agree to disagree.

without getting into a pathetic having a dig thread he's not my buddy he's my boss as i have worked for the F.A. for 16 years!

hull asked for, and were given permission to change there name. i was told the F.A. are "totally 100% against" teams having sponsers in there names. the crunch, just in my view, is if a man utd or chelsea want to do it as i agree the big clubs run the game.

change the record, you are getting rather boring regarding the "true supporter" line

No i think i will stand up for what i believe in. football is about more than money and always will be to me.

OMG that`s all we need.

The chant of come on you Bulls and Bully Bully been heard in Leeds.

Whatever next?
