news to me.
news to me.Hopefully Coventry United men’s next. It’s well known the chairman is a drug dealer in the non league circuit.
Its sad to hear that about the ladies team, especially as we don't have a ccfc ladies anymore. You've got to wonder why they turned pro if they had no chance of being able to fund it.
On a side note, shouldn't Cov United be challenging to get into the fight into the football league by now? I'm sure that was the prediction of those pushing the phoenix club.

Maybe they’ll be rebranded as ‘Wasps Football’
Yes, all junior clubs should be self sufficient, paying subs etc covers cost of refs/training etc etc....Surely the kids teams can still carry on like any other community type club? Subs, volunteers etc?
He must have a lot of money burning a hole in his pocket, I can’t see how you can ever do well out of buying a women’s team they are just don’t get the fans.
How on earth are clubs at that level running up losses of £250K a year???
Get him on cwr sharpish.So after no more than 30 minutes research, I've got a bad feeling about this.
I had a quick look through Mr Taylor's records on Companies House and I can't find anything that suggests any of his businesses would have these kinds of funds available.
I can however see that he took out a loan for 50k to keep things running through Covid. This doesn't feel like the kind of chap who could afford to suddenly chuck 250k at Cov United Ladies.
I sincerely hope I'm completely wrong, but at CCFC we've been here before with dreamers and chancers.

Isn’t the 250k to get through the rest of the season so it must be over a million per season it’s madness.
Are the players full time professionals? If so, player wages could easily be over 300k a year alone.
For all of them or per player?
Looks like they play 22 games a season, so that's 11 home games plus sponsorship to cover the cost of running the team.Are the players full time professionals? If so, player wages could easily be over 300k a year alone.
How much are tickets? How can you have wage costs that high given how much the total ticketing revenue is?
Just don't see how the numbers stack up.
Indeed but it baffles me that other, newer, leagues look at the mess football is in and decide that's a viable business model to follow. Premiership Rugby another example.FOOTBALL.
Being in the women’s championship it’s part of the FA licence that you have to have a certain number of players on contract (not all), but the real cost comes with the back room staff.
You have to have a full time general manager, admin, media/ marketing, physio/ sports therapist, goalkeeper coach, head coach, assistant, doctor on match days to name a few. They’ll all be paid, plus facilities of a certain standard which also don’t come cheap.
The requirements that the FA put on clubs to play in the championship or WSL are great from a professionalism perspective, but there simply isn’t the income that makes it self-sustaining. Ticket sales 500 per game (maximum, and that’s probably being generous), sponsorship wouldn’t attract much income and there’s a token grant from the FA. The whole structure of women’s football is unfortunately build on very shaky foundations.
Yes, on that BBC show about Sullivans son at West Ham WFC they talk about this.Is it true that the majority of the women's teams are subsidised by their male counterparts just to keep them ticking over?
Playing at a rented BPA in front of a few hundred fans? Ludicrous.Are the players full time professionals? If so, player wages could easily be over 300k a year alone.
