    Here's the Richards thread.

    Please do note that the status quo reflects current reality, so we don't have to change it. And I totally didn't understand "BayerRich-ards", John Donne.

    I kinda liked Mace’s wife’s quote, “your Richards guy just got an assist”. I’d put that in front of Chris at BM.

    can we add one or two more "rich"s and "richard"s to each one?

    Sorry, that's a little too Richards for my blood. Get it?

    @truefan420 already made a friendly suggestion that improved my offering (and would improve several others) by dropping the (unnecessary) Richards after the colon (if repetitive).

    @bungadiri can always tidy things up later as he deems fit.

    That's just cause you never lived in Munchen, Bruh.

    Ok, how about "Spreken ze BayRich-ards: Chris @ Munich, Ja Genau Naturlich..." Now that smells like a winner!

    (It's really not a great joke, or title, or pun, to be honest - but then again, none of these are... So we got that going for us.)

    Ok, this is a clear winner:

    Ich bin kein Dest, Ich bein BayRich-ards: Chris at Bayern.

    Picking a title is the only way to stop the Payne.

    Please don't pick any of mine. I'm only here for the imaginary neg-rep I know I would be receiving.

    (That said "BayRich-ards" is kind of low hanging fruit... not good fruit, but low hanging. Like crab apples or June pears...)

    I have been following this vote a bit more closely than the other thread title votes, because as far as I know, it's the first time 'no change - keep it as is' has been an option. I would be in favor of keeping 'no change' as a standard voting option, but I'm not sure how best to do that, because the 'no-change' voters might also want to be part of the selection process ("if we have to make a change, I would choose ...").

    I think the winning choice is pretty clear above, with a sizeable majority voting for something new - even if you divide the change-votes by three - and the leading vote-getter doubling the nearest challenger (in a big field).

    As that title was my creation, I will reiterate my support for @truefan420 's suggestion - supported my many others - that we avoid redundancy. That leaves us with:

    The Rich Get Richards: Chris at Bayern Munich

    I think we could drop Bayern or (more likely) Munich safely, but I'm not sure we should, if we want to maintain the 'searchability' of the thread title (and maintain the integrity of the club's name).

    Works for me (the slightly amended version, not the truncation of the club name).

    I liked the suggested the Rich get Richards: Chris Richards at Bayern Munich

    but we could always have The Bavarian Texan: Chris Richards at Bayern Munich too.

    The renaming is done-de-done-done.
