Swindon Town are being linked to a takeover from Red Bull. If Red Bull were to approach CCFC, and lay out a plan of naming the team 'Red Bull Coventry City', playing in the Red Bull Arena, potentially even with a red kit - would you take it?
We would be in the Prem within five years, and SISU would finally be gone. But is it too much to lose in the chase for success?
We would be Load of Old Bull and not Red Bull, trust me.Swindon Town are being linked to a takeover from Red Bull. If Red Bull were to approach CCFC, and lay out a plan of naming the team 'Red Bull Coventry City', playing in the Red Bull Arena, potentially even with a red kit - would you take it?

Erm......I would be happy with a name change. Wouldn't stop me calling us the Sky Blues or Coventry City.
Say for instance we merged into one club with Leicester.
We could play in dark blue, so still blue and they could retain the Leicester part of their name and we could retain the City of ours.
Job done, everyone's happy.
It's working pretty well in Germany RB Leipzig are doing well in the bundesliga this season.Surely it wouldn't work out, just like it hasn't in Austria.
I can see it now, they'll be two groups of supporters 'the reds' (who support Red Bull Coventry City) and 'the sky blues' (who want the team to revert to it's traditional values).
Then there's the question of the stadium - Red Bull will want to own one, but Wasps won't sell and the council say there isn't a suitable site in the city.

Red Bull Salzburg have done really well haven't they since Red Bull took over. And aren't Red Bull Leipzig pushing Bayern & Dortmund along in the Bundesliga at the moment?
It's fair to say that most things Red Bull have put money behind in sport has done well or is showing the fruits of their investment.
But the Austrian fans are still divided. One group of fans refuse to attend games and say their club has been stolen - there was a feature about it on Football Focus a couple of years ago.
Yes, I don't get what relevance that has to my post.Errr... do you realise that RB Leipzig used to be SSV Markanstädt? Red Bull changed the name and relocated the team to Leipzig.
Sounds familiar
But the fact still remains, RB backed teams have done well.
It would be RB Coventry City as they have done with RB Leipzig.
Yes I would like that to happen.

A name change wouldn't happen so we'd still be Coventry City but sponsored by Red Bull playing in the Red Bull stadium. Don't think we'd be playing red either just a darker shade of blue. Given that we're virtually in white this year and have had darker kits in the past I could live with something like thisSwindon Town are being linked to a takeover from Red Bull.

When did I say I didn't mind teams moving?Ah... just making sure you realised it wasn't VfB Leipzig that RB had backed.
Also, it's interesting you don't seem to have a problem with teams being related to different towns. Each to their own.

It is working well for them isn't it? I at no point suggested I approved of their actions in anyway. You need to stop spoiling for a rowWell, you did say "It's working pretty well in Germany RB Leipzig are doing well in the bundesliga this season" (suggesting some degree of approval of RB's running of the club) and RB Leipzig is a team that's been relocated (from Markanstädt).

What scale is that? Looks like moving from the Ricoh to the Butts!Unless they're from another Markrandstadt they've relocated about as far as I do for work each day
We've already been told the butts is too small. Will red bull learn nothingWhat scale is that? Looks like moving from the Ricoh to the Butts!
Red Bull gives you wings, we can have a stadium hovering above the city.We've already been told the butts is too small. Will red bull learn nothing
13km between the two apparentlyWhat scale is that? Looks like moving from the Ricoh to the Butts!
