Fair point. The Austrian FA had similar issues apparently.
Haven't the FA already set a precedent on this not happening with Hull? Yes I know you could point to MK Dons as a precedent for allowing this to happen but I recall them (rightly or wrongly, I'm going by memory) regretting this and vowing not to allow the situation to happen again. Hence the decisions surrounding Hull.
What if this ? What if that ? You're worrying about what ifs! I'm more worried about what actually Is happeningWhy not just support a new team then? If CCFC loses it's identity, it's not CCFC. What if they change everything and they're not successful?

to my club right now, look at other clubs they have put their money behind.
Would love to go to a packed Ricoh (Red Bull Arena) with my family to watch us compete against The best
teams around, maybe have a hot pie at HT
It seems some would rather watch CCFC in a piss pot stadium, at non league level with a few others, I can't
Think of anything worse, Red Bull would invest to get the club back where it belongs.
Personally I don't think this will happen, but I'm at a loss to explain why some people would oppose if it did.
Has anybody checked wasps forum for a similar story?
No bother to me. But I'm sure they are up in arms about name and jersey colour changes also

Yeah. Fair pointThere probably more bothered about the cash the club is making. Most of the fans are new or don't give a fuck about heritage.
Because it wouldn't be CCFC? As I and others have mentioned? Sell your history, identity and tradition for success? No thanks. I'll leave you all to it if it happens. I don't agree with Wasps as everyone knows. I'm also not a hypocrite, which means I wouldn't agree with a franchised CCFC.
Good job they're losing £4m a year thenThere probably more bothered about the cash the club is making. Most of the fans are new or don't give a fuck about heritage.
But we would be Coventry City FC playing in Coventry, our history would be unaffected, in fact the BiggestBecause it wouldn't be CCFC? As I and others have mentioned?

Just to reiterate, guys, Red Bull will NOT conduct a takeover of the club, they did NOT conduct a takeover of Leipzig; they founded the club, from scratch.
So if a Red Bull club is coming to Coventry, it's not CCFC-related in any way...
But we would be Coventry City FC playing in Coventry, our history would be unaffected, in fact the Biggest
difference would probably be success, maybe that's what some are scared of.
They would buy us and become our owners, they would then invest money having already put people in place
Who know how to invest the money to gain success.
Surely everyone who supports a club, wants that club to strive to be the very best it can be, otherwise what is
The point, if RB can provide the finance and the vision to make this happen, why would anyone not want that.
New York was an existing team as well wasn't it?You sure? I thought they bought SSV Markranstadt in the fifth division of Germany!
Depends if the daughter immediately disowned you and pretended you didn't exist, which seems to be the fear were this to come to fruition. 'RB Coventry Established 2017' would make it a lot harder to get on with personally, but the club as it is with a lick of silver paint, I could be convinced.If you had a daughter and she married and changed her name she would still be your daughter. Doesn't the same logic apply here? or am I being stupid?
But you support a greedy no moral hedge fund owning us?
Why would be franchised anyway?

Show me a club owner that doesn't at least aspire to gain financially.So because I wouldn't agree with RB owning us and changing everything for their marketing purposes, I must support SISU?
How about I don't agree with SISU using the club for financial gain therefore wouldn't agree with RB doing the same?
Others do though, clearly. As I have stated before people just want money thrown at it. Bollocks to anything else. If SISU were splashing the cash you wouldn't hear a word.

We've been Bishop Auckland 1898-1904(Dark Blue/Light Blue halves)... Blackburn Rovers 1934-1936 (Dark Blue/White halves)Red Bull Coventry is one thing, I'm not sure if I'd want to be Bristol Rovers
When has anyone said that? I have no problem with any owner of CCFC making money if we are successful on the pitch.Sisu are bad cos they just want to make money.

they did an MK Dons, took over an existing club and turned it into RB Leipzig. The point stands that the club must be a money pit, especially as they are going to build a new stadium.
Which suggests that they wouldn't be put off by Citys current situation. Off course, I am still sceptical that there is actually interest.
With all due respect I think your're wrong on all that.Just to reiterate, guys, Red Bull will NOT conduct a takeover of the club, they did NOT conduct a takeover of Leipzig; they founded the club, from scratch.

They bought out a fifth division club and took it from there. The same as Salzburg, New York etc.
What I don't get is. Sisu are bad cos they just want to make money. It's ok if red bull did that though. And other clubs do the same too. Which is it? Is it bad or not? Or does it depend on who is making the money?

I wouldn't mind being a marketing vehicle for an energy drink company, just like Arsenal fansStill be CCFC? Like the other teams they own still have their names? As I said earlier, if RB are looking at CCFC it's because they know they can make wholesale changes and the fans won't mutter a word.
Striving for success? By becoming a marketing vehicle for an energy drink? Selling your soul so you can splash stupid money about?
I want success, just not at any cost.

Are you serious, if SISU were making money out of CCFC through high attendances and sponsorshipWhat I don't get is. Sisu are bad cos they just want to make money. It's ok if red bull did that though. And other clubs do the same too. Which is it? Is it bad or not? Or does it depend on who is making the money?
