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.
It proves their email system is working
Perhaps they should let Byng know how the E-Mail system works
The only thing that this proves is that you are a bit mental in the head. Where did you send it, [email protected]?
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 !
Red Bull responds to Coventry City takeover rumours
Telegraph seemed to have got the exact same email !

Probably got it from here top investigative work by giblet
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.

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

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.
