A couple of other merger attempts between rivals people may not know from Scotland: the Hearts owner tried to buy Hibs back in the 90s; Dundee United almost bought out Dundee around the year 2000.

Sheffield Wednesday adminiatrators and Sheffield United owners discussing how the new entity will be banded:
SH-U: Well we propose that the new entity will reflect the city and what will be the new harmony between all the citizens
SH-W: Yes sounds a perfect idea, what would you suggest calling the new team?
SH-U: Well it should be a reflection on the history of the clubs and be an equal partnership so we would like to take the same Sheffield from Sheffield Wednesday and add something to reflect the unison between the two clubs, therefore we propose to take the word United from our club name. This way we feel both parties can have equal ownership and commitment to the name....
