Well, that clears that up. They're not buying us, they're getting us for free.... :)

dear sir or madam,
ive read on a football forum full of loons that you may be interested in our football club. and also wasps. we are going down to the fourth division we dont own our ground and we are only 18 months left to go on the deal we have. our owners batter people in court and even the local funeral parlour wont answer their calls.
if you need any further help in deciding to do a deal im available after 3.32 pm when i finish my stint at poundland. i might be unavailable but the 18 bus can be a bit late but please leave a message. ive just topped my phone with £3 so please wait for my reply.
if you need any cleaning stuff to help you with your purchase or mop buckets maybe i can help with the deal.
all the best love, ..the rumpo kid.
(norman no mates heckles).
You nasty man I'm so upset

I'm more convinced than ever that it's on now ;)

Haha. Indeed, marketing is a sly game.

If it's true, and if they take the club over and assimilate it, it's better than languishing and rotting like this; I will say this though, I hope RB will be respectful and at least keep some semblance of the team's identity. For us long-suffering faithful. If it all transpires, of course.

Definitely trying to stay neutral until there's an announcement, of sorts.

Hey I just thought I'd ask to see what happens . I don't think for one minute they would tell me or anyone else if they were going to buy a club , but on the web site it says if you have any questions about red bull and that's what I got back. And as for weirdo skybluesam66 go fuck yourself no mark.


Oi!.. Stop pinching my "Put Down" ;)

I emailed red bull this after noon and asked if there was any truth in the rumour of a buy out or an investment in ccfc, this was the the reply I got. Hi Sid thank you for your e mail and getting in touch with us. Buying a football club does not fit our marketing mix for 2017/18. We would like to thank you for your interest in working with red bull. Best regards Eleanor Campbell.

The only thing that this proves is that you are a bit mental in the head. Where did you send it, [email protected]?

And the forum is ahead of the CT again who haven't had a response from Red Bull.

Five things we have learnt about why we were slower to email Red Bull than SBT

Five things we learnt about stealing stories from SBT and then printing them the next day as our own.

Five things we learnt about getting stories from other online sources and a bloke down the pub said.

Five things we don't know about why the CT keeps going. Its shit these days.

You're forgetting:

Twitter reacts to the CT being shit

The shit CT in pictures.

Ex Coventry player you've totally forgot about has vague opinion on CT being shit.

Andy and Alan discuss the CT being shit.

If I'm "mental in the head" why are you asking for the e-mail address. Is the special school closed today
So by inference you have just suggested anybody who attends a special school is in your opinion substandard, not a clever statement to make Rumpo

Fair play to Rumpo, he tried albeit to the wrong email but seems to be taking any stick very well. Shame the telegraph couldnt be more resourceful and actually do some digging instead of plucking stories from forums.

Not at all he may well attend a specially gifted persons school, and as I have never given out the e-mail address to which I sent the original message how would anyone know that its the wrong one !

That's where they are going wrong. If they actually did that I think I would buy a copy.

Interesting that RB don't seem to have ruled out the taking over Wasps and Ricoh side of the story, just the CCFC side.

Is it like I said on a different thread that they can buy Wasps and ACL for a fraction of the cost of what SISU want for a soon to be forth tier football team that don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of?

Red Bull Coventry United anyone?

Not sure why if a 4th tier team doesn't appeal a 9th tier one would.

Regardless, how much would Wasps cost?

ACL was what? £20m all in?

Assuming anyone could convince Joy to sell (which I doubt), you'd be looking at maybe £10m for City?

So something like £50m all in for the lot?

Edit: apparently in 2014 their marketing budget was $2.1bn, so it'd be a drop in the ocean.

Thank you for your email and getting in touch with us. Your idea sounds really interesting but unfortunately it does not fit our marketing mix for 2016/17 therefore we will not be able to take advantage of your offer at this time.
We would like to thank you for your interest in working with Red Bull.

Best regards

Nice to see such a prompt and pleasant reply.
Must admit I did send it a bit tongue in cheek , but he who dares.

An email back from the receptionist at Red Bull is all that amounts too.
A quick linked in check shows she's been in the job for 6 months. Sure she'd be the person to know everything going on at Red Bull.

I know what you're saying and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if SISU fell head first into a pile of shit of their own making and come out smelling of RB millions roses and yes RB has a marketing budget big enough to pay off a countries deficit but is one of the reasons they have such a large budget because they're hard nosed business people who don't take any shit? Why would they bail SISU out of their bad investment?

I read an interesting article in the Leipzig paper a couple of months ago which said that they are no longer a soft drinks company marketing soft drinks, but they have diversified into sports and media. A standard answer from marketing doesn't cover every eventuality. I don't think they are buying us at the minute though.

Like I say, I don't think Joy will ever sell. I'd expect us to get liquidated if she ever bores of us.

*dons tinfoil hat*

The more this goes on, the more I suspect that after getting 'battered in court' she's decided to just let us rot on the vine out of spite.

Just emailed Redbull at tea time and got an email from "Gaynor"! Oh you fooker I thought is she the bird from Sisu, the bird from Redbull or the bird I used to know who was feisty and trimmed her fanny but loved to bounce up and down on my hampton late at night whilst "prisoner cell block H" was on as I looked at her rusty bullet hole move up and down slowly after taking her to the Bear and Ragged Staff in Kenilworth then went home when her parents were in bed.
Happy days.:happy:
Do they still do Moosehead in there? Great lager in the day.
