Unless they're from another Markrandstadt they've relocated about as far as I do for work each day

And gone from playing in the 5th tier of German football to 2nd in the Bundesliga......

Keep us away from that kind of improvement / investment please!! I want nothing but misery for the price of my season ticket ;)

I played some Yankee team on FIFA that were called the Red Bulls the other day. I laughed, so no.

I'd accept sponsorship, especially from a large local business like JLR, but not renaming the club.

Otium til I die!

Would that be the New York Red Bulls? The team that has won the league 4 times in the last 7 seasons? The same team that has been able to afford the wages for the likes of Tim Cahill, Tim Howard, Jun Pablo Angel, Juninho, Sean Wright-Phillips and Thierry Henry! I see what you mean, laughing stock of a team with a stupid name like that!! I looked on their fans forum and most of them wished they could sign Lee Burge and Kwarme Thomas!

A name change wouldn't happen so we'd still be Coventry City but sponsored by Red Bull playing in the Red Bull stadium. Don't think we'd be playing red either just a darker shade of blue. Given that we're virtually in white this year and have had darker kits in the past I could live with something like this

I would be happy with a name change. Wouldn't stop me calling us the Sky Blues or Coventry City.

Say for instance we merged into one club with Leicester.

We could play in dark blue, so still blue and they could retain the Leicester part of their name and we could retain the City of ours.

Job done, everyone's happy.

Owned by a shady off shore hedge fund that have reduced the club to a piece of tumbleweed in exchange for testosterone giving turbo charged super drink with brand awareness.
Difficult choice, not.

I would be happy to change to RB Coventry or whatever they want and would be even happier to get away from Sky Blue for the kit, if it meant we got into the top league I would love to see us smashing teams along the way. I would even move outside if the city within reason.

I still beat em 3-0.

Sorry, I have a bit of pride in my team (somehow still). I laughed because New York Red Bulls is such a stereotypical American style bastardisation of a sport I love. I'd hate to see that for my club. Neither would I support Budweiser Multiball if they gave us a bit of extra cash. Some things are too far. The name of the club is about the longest standing unchanged part of the club (I know it was changed a long time ago, but everything else has changed more recently) and all the club is is collective history FFS.

Surely it wouldn't work out, just like it hasn't in Austria.

I can see it now, they'll be two groups of supporters 'the reds' (who support Red Bull Coventry City) and 'the sky blues' (who want the team to revert to it's traditional values).

Then there's the question of the stadium - Red Bull will want to own one, but Wasps won't sell and the council say there isn't a suitable site in the city.

They rent the one in Leipzig at the moment, but have plans to build an 80000 stadium as they are now Bundesliga.

Me too. I want to see City in the premiere in my life and they have shown they can do it in Germany. 5 tier to Bundesliga.

I said this whilst Ann Lucas was still saying the door is always open.

If Swindon get the sponsorship then we will watch them go up. I'd rather be arguing on here about the moral of sponsorship and watching RB Coventry on Sky against Man Utd or Liverpool, than watching Swindon doing it and arguing about the morals of RB Swindon.

Can't believe how desperate we have become.

Hull fans fought tooth and nail to stop a simple name change, and 'Tigers' wasn't that controversial given that it is the club's nickname. So too at Cardiff which was a change of colours and a slight rebrand. We have people willing to embrace both a change of name and change of colours - effectively a complete change of club identity.

No thanks. I like to think we have a little more self-respect.

There wouldn't be a name change as a sponsors name wouldn't be allowed in the team name. And, looking at other RB teams, the colour change would be to a shade of blue similar to what we've used in the past.

I'd imagine both Hull and Cardiff had fans who weren't bothered by their proposed changes too, a jokey thread on a forum doesn't make us the worst supporters on the planet.

Sky News:

Reports emerged in a national newspaper this week that the Austrian company is interested in Sky Bet Championship clubs Leeds United and Brentford, and League One clubs Charlton Athletic and Swindon Town.

But Sky Sports News HQ has been told that Red Bull are happy with their current portfolio of clubs in Sao Paolo, New York, Salzburg and Leipzig, and are not looking for further expansion.

I remember Leeds being the team linked with Red Bull a little while ago, I guess a volatile owner and a high profile club makes for good reading.

I find the whole topic fascinating. I am not 'for' Red Bull taking over changing name (although i dont think that would happen bar perhaps RB Coventry City which i dont think is too extreme), and like others have said the blue probably wouldnt change that much. I'm also not totally against the idea, as like others have said, I'd rather exist as that then nothing at all. The one thing I don't get is why there is such an uproar about both these things. I count myself in that uproar cuz I would be pissed off too, so before people go slating me, I am as confused as anyone, I want success and to keep pedigree but also am semi-confused as to why I feel this way. Were people in 1898 livid about being called Coventry City FC, as opposed to Singers FC? We adore Jimmy (rightly) but he also changed our colours back to Sky Blue after flirting around other colour themes. I guess my basic point is, why does it really matter that much when it has been done in the past? If someone can answer I'd feel much better about the pickle I find myself in :)
