Coventry City Name (1 Viewer)

[mark82]

Does anyone know who owns the right to use the name Coventry City FC? Is it holdings or limited? Or is it elsewhere (ie - Sky Blues Trust)?

If it is in Limited (ie Coventry City) I would be willing to support the club owned by someone else even if it meant starting at the bottom of the football pyramid.

Can't answer in certainty but one of the reasons the trust was re-invigorated this season was that there was a recognition before kick off that there was a very eal danger of the Club falling into financial meltdown ,resulting possibly in Liquidation ,thank god thiis danger was recognised.

I beleive part of the reasoning and efforts of the trust are/were to be ready to secure the name of Coventry City and they have determined that it would be possible.

But I guess it would have to mean the whole of the SISU owned club would have to go out of business.

We should change it to Koventry Kity. Sorted.

Or maybe Koventry Sity so it sounds the same

Maybe, but I like cats. I'll ask my son who does phonics at school.

So theoretically someone could buy CCFC limited, own the golden share and therefore the right to league 1 football but not the name. So a realistic possible outcome here could be that ph4 and friends could own the club in league 1, play at the Ricoh, but would have to change the name from Coventry City FC.

That would appear to be the case....however the golden share is in the of Coventry City Football Club so the tangled web becomes even more so!
