I now officially hate the 49ers with more hatred than i have for anything but Leeds. Sorry and yes that includes everyone else.

Was always a niners fan, will have to change franchise now.....

Okay then here’s to Dirty Leeds and years of shambles and regrets for the Niners!
That said I’m now fancying the notion of the Rooney family and the Steelers buying up Boro. That would have the blue collar chemistry for a perfect match

So, another club sells its soul to compete. It’ll all implode one day and what a **** state of affairs it’ll be when it does.

What next? Seattle Seagulls buy Sunderland ffs

I wonder who we’ll get… Green Bay Packers, nice kind of getaway in the middle of winter lol

As a Niners fan, does this mean I now need to stop wearing Niners caps to Boro games?

Yes - you need to burn it.

Never liked the niners since they did one and moved 40 miles down the road to Santa Clara (mainly because it's a pain to get to, but also because the stadium is possibly the most sterile sports ground I've ever been to).

Hopefully Leeds United will be relocated to somewhere in Lancashire (anywhere will do).

Hopefully it will see a return of the new badge

We need to be bought by Fenway Sports Group so we can have our long awaited name change to Middlesbrough Red & White Sox

Shetland would be my choice!

I quite like Shetlanders, they don't deserve that. I hear there is a suitable island in the Hebrides, St Kilda.

I hate to say it but i think they’re going to be top two this season - they’re buying players left right and centre at the moment and their manager is no mug and knows this league

they are well on their way to becoming the new Wrexham.

It's a very contentious situation. I'm also a very flood-blooded Niner fan, and while I wouldn't dream of following another NFL team "just because" there's also some good points which may come out of this.. For instance, perhaps the Niner food court gets a makeover lol... hardly likely but just think Tetley tea served at the Niners Bar, Yorkshire puddings being served with Polish, and perhaps celebrating Yorkshire Day, August 1. It's all fantasy I know but despite the Niners capitulating there's some good things which may come out of it.

Would be kind of funny - if they finished on 49 pts this season .

They have only bought one player

Luckily I’ve always liked the steelers
