Anyone remember when Jimmy Hill was Chairman that he wanted to change the club name? A lot of our younger supporters may not be aware that JH was unpopular with a large proportion of our support at the time, who were not keen on some of his ideas like all seater stadia, our investment in US soccer, and of course wanting to rename us Coventry Talbot, and I was bitterly opposed to the idea myself.
Anyhow when I read the other week that the Ref Bull F1 guy is a City fan, it got me thinking whether I would now take us changing our name to Red Bull Coventry, if SISU were to sell up, and Red Bull wanted to make us their English club. I know there is probably zilch chance of it happening, but I reckon I would accept that now, as long as I thought it would progress the club, which it would surely do. After all, clubs have changed their names before, and effectively remained the same outfit, retaining the same identity and history, and of course we already changed name ourselves, given that in the first 15 years of our history we were Singers FC.
