Ok this is my first post on the boards here, i'm a long time metro fan and agreed to go along with this whole red bull thing because i loved this game, and I'm glad to be on this site with the rest of you hard core fans.
Now to talk about my real point, i read just about the whole topic about the red bulls maybe selling the team, and i've realized that everyone seems to have a different view on what makes this team so horrendous. What i was thinking was that although it may seem pessimistic, what if in this forum everyone posted what they hated about this club, and than what they liked about this club, and than we can take it from there knowing were everyone stands. Also you give some constructive ideas on how to fix the situation

For example here is how i feel,

Hate
1. Hate red bull corporate name in place of a real team name.
2. Hate how we can never seem to have soccer people running this company.
3. Hate the horrible quality of "soccer" this team plays and that i somehow end up watching week in and week out.

Like
1. Red Bull arena although if they really use that for motorcross and other extreme sports i may end up hating that as well.
2. Man this is sad but i really can't think of anything else lol.

Improvements
1. get rid of the red bull name as our team name and start running this team as any other ownership group would.
2. Start treating us like a soccer team
3. Fix your marketing methods because having a bunch of people run around new york in bull outfits isn't going to attract anyone. (did anyone see those videos?)

Also i remember in the red bull selling the team forum some people were trying to figure out how much this team makes a year and what the net worth is, forbes magazine released a list of the most profitable franchises in the mls and red bull was 5th on that list with a net worth of 35 million and an annual profit of 10 million which is higher than most thought.

Welcome! :cheers:
You could have started this thread in the the Dead Horse subforum & saved someone the trouble of moving it! :D

Edit: Well, that didn't take long!

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

You want the reasons alphabetically, chronologically, or just short and sweet?

On the off chance you are an RBFO type, this franchise was fucked up long before RB ever heard of it. They just make it worse.

Hate:

-The only top-flight football club representing the New York Region is a fucking energy drink advertisement.
-They stole away my clubs identity, a team I grew up idolizing.
-Fired Gio as head of our academy to insert a crook.
-Play has not improved, Red Bulls have yet to have a season where their point total has matched or exceeded Metro 05 (47 points, the last year the club existed)
-We are not the main priority of our owner once again.
-No oversight and minimal marketing has continued to plague this franchise (see the fuckwads running around New York in red face paint)
-LACK OF SIGNING A PLAYER WHO WILL GIVE THIS CLUB A SECOND CHANCE.
-Not listening to their customer base by changing the name to something respectable.
