You're suggesting coventry United ladies were formed because of the promise of a phoenix club revolution and coventry city never stopped funding them .. unless I'm reading it wrong
That's exactly what you've suggested
I'm not though, am I?
Especially as you seem to have no clue what I'm on about.
City become Coventry United Ladies – the new female addition to the progressive men’s outfit – in a move that the club believe offers them the best opportunity to succeed in their quest for Super League football.You're suggesting coventry United ladies were formed because of the promise of a phoenix club revolution and coventry city never stopped funding them .. unless I'm reading it wrong

Who was running the ladies club again? No it can't have been the same people shouting to anybody who would listen to force ccfc into admin and start again.
Of course if CCFC were committed to a women's football outfit, now's the time for them to come forward and pick up what's left really...So all you've just told me is that coventry city ladies joined coventry United.. the key part you are still missing Nick , is that coventry city had already decided ro stop funding them
Why are you struggling here ?
You want to argue to argue il argue all day mate
Something very dodgy about that.City become Coventry United Ladies – the new female addition to the progressive men’s outfit – in a move that the club believe offers them the best opportunity to succeed in their quest for Super League football.

They were sold the cov united dream. I'm not debating funding being cut. Grendel gave a pointer to a potential reason. (One of many)
Of course if CCFC were committed to a women's football outfit, now's the time for them to come forward and pick up what's left really...
I'm really not struggling. I'm pointing out the dream they were sold.So all you've just told me is that coventry city ladies joined coventry United.. the key part you are still missing Nick , is that coventry city had already decided ro stop funding them
Why are you struggling here ?
Again, I'm not actually disagreeing with you!But they aren't mate , they have a women's first team playing the equivalent of non league football .. it's a real shame
I'm really not struggling. I'm pointing out the dream they were sold.
Probably much like the original team that existed before cov utd men's.
And throw in hundreds of thousands a year?Of course if CCFC were committed to a women's football outfit, now's the time for them to come forward and pick up what's left really...
If it comes across as I'm arguing with you I'm not , I'm just saying what's happening with ccfc ladies footballAgain, I'm not actually disagreeing with you!
If they didn't join coventry United then what ? They fold .. it's a dream forced onto them at the time ..this isn't rocket science
So what's the issue if they take the points deduction and the new owner takes them to the champions League?At this moment in time , girls from coventry and its surrounding areas have a natural pathway to women's professional football ..
Let's hope it stays there
That's the bottom line
But you're also saying cov utd men's don't fund them now?
They could have just gone it alone and tried to be self sufficient. (Which it sounds like they are now)
Well clearly they couldn’t afford to go proWouldn't have been able to go pro nick ,it's not the men's game where clubs are funded to the tune of millions .
So what's the issue if they take the points deduction and the new owner takes them to the champions League?
Well if they need hundreds of thousands pumped in and cov utd have also stopped giving them money.Wouldn't have been able to go pro nick ,it's not the men's game where clubs are funded to the tune of millions .
@Nick I despise Cov United, i have rereferred to them on here as vanity project FC. I vaguely know one of the people involved and can't come to any other conclusion than his involvement is an ego trip.
However, and I didn't know the story behind the ladies until it was explained in this thread, I have some sympathy for what Evo is saying.
What would you have done in their circumstance when City withdrew funding?
Why are they trying to be like men ?Well if they need hundreds of thousands pumped in and cov utd have also stopped giving them money.
Maybe they wanted to go pro a bit soon trying to be like the men's game? Not much different to cov utd men's thinking they were pros.
No I get it. I wouldn't want the kids teams to vanish and hopefully they won't if they are self sustained.
Surely they should have gone self sustainable? If they couldn't afford to start throwing money at players then don't.
I'm still shocked nobody has wondered why there might have been issues with the women's team and mens ccfc. Yeah there's money at them but pretty sure while you had the trust and women's club up to their tricks it doesn't help.
Why are they trying to be like men ?
They play the sport professionally and get paid to do so , albeit at a much smaller rate than men .. that's their right as professionally athletes ?
We should encourage the growth of women's football
It was All a conspiracy against ccfc mateI'm not sure what yo mean by womens club up to their tricks?
The trust, yes.
The same people involved. That's the point.I'm not sure what yo mean by womens club up to their tricks?
The trust, yes.
The same people involved.
I'm not on about the individual players, the club.
They clearly cant afford to pay the players and be pro if they barely bring any money in and nobody goes to watch.
I'm just being realistic.
Yeah they were running the ladies club.right, but if City withdrew funding and the ladies got an offer which kept them afloat could they afford to turn it down?
And when you say the same people, do you mean Kalns and Johnson because I'm not sure they were involved, (though I don't know that), but can well believe they were in the background shit stirring.
They aren’t profit generating. Who is going to provide them funding. There just isn’t the interest or platform for women’s football. I watched Brighton Mancity earlier and it’s awful to watch.The women's game needs more support maybe ? More funding ? There's probably only a handful that make money ..
Burnley don't generate as much money or Interest as Newcastle United but they still get sky payments to the same tune , despite arguably getting 100 x less people watching them .
If men's football lost its sky deal it would be bankrupt in a month .. it's about funding and growth.. the women's game needs more support outside the big 3 or 4

So cov utd ladies want to be a pro club when they bring in hardly anything but just want it to all be covered? They don't get the advertising money, the fans going into games.
That's the thing, it's the same as the men's cov utd when they wanted to get too big for their boots. I'm pretty sure it isn't cheap playing at the butts too.
Even without the points deduction, weren't they joint bottom?
Yeah they were running the ladies club.
So there's a good chance they would have gone down anyway?This season yes they are at the bottom of the table
Yes, and there’s no interest in it. Sunday league football is football, doesn’t mean the entire country wants to watch it and they should all be professional.It's a different game entirely, based solely on our perceptions of football as we've watched the men's game all our lives.. it's still football
