Didnt the original CCFC Women move to Coventry United as SHITSU wouldnt fund them?... and when they got religated Coventey united parted ways with them so they then became Rugby Borough.
I Didnt realise there was a new CCFC Women set up. Could do a merger.

Im not too sure. Im not sure there are enough teams at the moment to create a pyramid system.
The top 2 leagues are now full time professional

Hope so , my daughter plays for Sky blues in the community ETC which in effect is the only female academy type team in coventry , it features many girls from coventry city , they recently beat shrewsbury 1-0 and when they play their shirt has a Coventry city badge on it with SBITCI wonder whether King Doug has plans to reunite Rugby Borough Womens back under the CCFC brand. With the rise of womens football over the past 5 years could be a good move.
Thoughts?

Coventry City Women & Girls Football Club
They're defunct aren't they?
No fixtures given on the website for the current season:
Nah mate just thinking ahead, obviously now we have a female close to the top of the club it could receive more weight behind it?Guess we'll see.Ohhhh, do you know something we don't.

Although women's football does have a higher profile than ever before, I'd be surprised if it is self-funding, so personally I'd rather leave it for the moment, and have all the focus on getting us to the PL and then review it. It's a shame for young girls playing football in the city now that the previous incarnation seems to have been run so badly, so should DK (or whoever) revisit this later then hopefully they will select better people to manage it.

I'd be up for it...think it's good for the identity of the club if we had a successful womens side as well.
To answer the above question about pyramid, they kind of have it, albeit a flatter structure than the mens game. WSL and then WSL2 beneath it. 3rd tier it goes regional but some EPL/EFL womens teams in those leagues - Watford, Bournemouth, Plymouth, Cheltenham, Oxford, Exeter, Wimbledon (Nat League South) and Burnley, Wolves, Stoke, WBA, Boro, Hull and Derby (North).

How much money is the men's team making?

Would be making less than it currently does if we had to prop up a womens team as well

Obviously, but comparative figures might be illuminating.

I cant see any womens team currently making money. The crowds turn up for big games thats it. I am pleased if Doug has no interest in creating one

Think so. Cov Utd gave it the big un when they thought the mens team were going to keep going up every season and took on the womens team I believe on the condition they rebranded.
Then when it turned out the womens team was struggling and costing money they ditched them.

In fairness , cov united arent a big club and the womens team were competing in the equivelant of the championship .
Its easy to see how they couldnt fund
Coventry city are a Big Club and i doubt would struggle to get by with a womens football club associated with it

I understand that, but it would be interesting to see the figures.

Love women, love football but I struggle to get enthused by the woman's game even though at international level they are more successful than the men.
A women's team now as part of the Sky Blue family might entice me.
The women's game is currently improving and I feel could be a money maker in years to come. However, can't see us investing at this point. If we can establish ourselves eventually in the Prem, why not.

I think Doug wants to increase income streams to help us move forward. Not to increase revenue to then fund a loss making project.

So they have 11 players. Usually a GK and 10 outfield players. They have a subs bench, of which they can use 5 to make in-game substitutions. They play at home, or away. They play against another team. They also have 11 players. Usually a GK and 10 outfield players. A referee, 2 linesmen women, and a 4th official. They play 2 halves of 45 mins each. The aim of the game is to put the ball in the other teams net (goal).
Think that about covers it?

You mean a loss making project like CCFC?

Exactly and that's why adding another anchor would not be the wise business move. Doug is trying to decrease the loses not expand them or add more stress within current financial situation at the club. I don't see Doug as a sentimental or emotional businessman. If it doesn't make sense then he is not doing it, and this doesn't make any business sense to tie us to them.

I wouldn't presume to know what drives Doug and the decisions he makes. In the majority of cases, buying a football club doesn't make conventional business sense. I'm guessing that Doug's big gamble is that we get promoted and he then makes a shed-load of money, but if things don't go to plan, he could lose his shirt. I'm just interested to know how much it would cost to get a women's team up and running and competing. You could argue from a business perspective that there's no harm in trying to increase engagement in that half of the population that historically hasn't been engaged, especially at a time when the women's game is starting to really get established. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.
