Still in a sleeping bag outside the SISU office?
- guessing a very young side, not on a great deal of money but feeling like it was their "job"??They were full time???
They were full time???

Sounds like there could be more to this then? Have the people that started it got bored now they're aren't racking up massive wins and back to back promotions?How closely related are they to the men's set up?
Since the new chairman came in things have appeared a little unsettled on that side too....
There may or may not be a link... was linking with the turbulence related to the mens side.Sounds like there could be more to this then? Have the people that started it got bored now they're aren't racking up massive wins and back to back promotions?
Presume the mens side can continue as they won't be full time.
Isn't there another womens side affiliated with CCFC now? See people on twitter are suggesting the club takes them on but suspect that bridge has been burnt even if it wasn't something that would require financing.
Manchester United got promoted to the top league last year out of the same level Cov United currently play at.The people running women's football effectively want to follow the men's example and are star struck by the mens PL, hence the immediate haste to have a Manchester United ladies team placed straight into the top league. The days of a Doncaster Belles type of team being successful are long gone. The reality is that womens teams don't draw crowds large enough to sustain themselves financially, without being supported by the men's equivalent.
In Coventry up to about 5 years ago we also had Copsewood who had managed to rise up through the ranks from being a 'fun' team playing in the Birmingham League to reaching the same level as Coventry City (as the ladies were then), but they were reliant on supporting themselves through players subs, and the more successful they were the more costs they incurred, particularly in having to travel to places like Middlesbrough, Plymouth etc. Not only that, but the FA requirements meant they had to leave Copsewood and move to Nuneaton, where they managed to survive for a couple of seasons before they inevitably had to fold. The FA seemed quite happy for them to fold too, as having the likes of Copsewood mixing it with bigger name teams isn't how the FA want the women's game to go. Now Coventry United are not linked to Coventry City they are also likely to get little FA support, although as effectively the flagship women's team in the city I would be surprised if they folded.

Nice comment. People have lost their jobsHopefully the mens side next
Hopefully the people that tried to doxx and threaten meNice comment. People have lost their jobs
Feel for the players. They’ve been hung out to dry and deserve so much better. It’s been coming since the mens side was purchased and the club was split. Things are pretty rocky over there too. Comedic statements and ridiculous decisions have been a constant. They’re a laughing stock.
The fact that people are employed full time given the level they play at and the crowds they get is astonishing to me. They must be wholly reliant on someone covering losses every year. Its hard enough to find someone prepared to do that for an EFL club with the high profile they have.People have lost their jobs
Considering the TV coverage it gets Inc. Freeview it still isn't really attracting crowds. Read recently the BBC games getting around 250k viewers and satellite games around 80k.The women's game is just a reflection of the men's game really, dominated by the clubs affiliated to the oligarchy men's clubs. Can't see how it is sustainable as a professional game really.
