I'm not sure what you mean?

It was the likes of kalns and Johnson who made the decisions. It was them who tried to use the women's team against the men's team with the fans.

So the best thing is just take the relegation and go from there now, surely? Unless they find an investor to plough so much in.

I mean what do you think the ladies should have done at the time when Ccfc withdrew funding?
I don't think you can blame them for the actions of Johnson and co.
Personally I'd like to see the whole cov united project crumble so hopefully their future isn't under that umbrella

And as long as we can afford it then I’m with you. Don’t want to do a Coventry United and realise we can’t sustain 2 teams

Goes back to whether our owners have the interests of football in the city as their prime motivation, or an attempt to rinse for profit and who cares about fitness, wellbeing, civic pride and identity and the like.

Hmmm, RIP senior women's football in Coventry, then!

you have been isolating with Grendel?

So ccfc should now bail them out? Id rather if they did have that money spare they gave it to the cov ladies team there is now.

Yes, they were in charge so would have been the decision makers.

It was kalns doing all the announcements about the mergers.

It was Johnson trying to use the ccfc ladies team against ccfc (along with the trust).

Well it seems they’d need to find about £500,000 a year if the figures are correct - I’d rather the club spent it on the first team squad I see no benefit propping uo a loss making institution that attracts a couple of hundred fans.

That's the thing, it's not like it was "oh there was a dickead about years ago".

He was in charge when the merger happened.

this is Johnson he was in control of the team so it’s hardly surprising that the owners of the football club fell out with them

Proposal from Sky Blue Trust Members Meeting: Support CCFC Ladies on 16th March

A good meeting in the Squirrel last night. Some well received proposals for actions aimed at getting Coventry City back to the Ricoh, including this one. On 16th March, Coventry City Ladies play Brighton & Hove, kick-off 2pm. This is the same day that CCFC play Port Vale at Sixfields. There...

yeah, I didn't realise that, it all makes more sense now.
Still hope the ladies get sorted and are allowed to carry on, this bollocks isn't really their fault.

Cancel the boycott

I find this really sad - I am proud to come from Cov as a multi cultural city, and of my Irish heritage - it used to be us by the way that got the racist shit I can vouch for it too before it went private. Not good.

The point is though the level of animosity was high and you associated Cov Utd with all of this. Wasn’t that Rich 74 guy often going on about trying to close the club and make Cov United some phoenix group? Johnson and Kalns formed the woman’s team as soon as they could and it’s obvious they wanted the main club to close as well

Oh yeah I get that.

Still, ideally if it goes to shit all the youngsters will be looked after. Beyond all that they don't deserve it.

Do you want us to go and cheer for Wasps netball team too?

Every sympathy for the girls, they just want to play football and have been let down, but Its not like you've folded. The bloke getting some free publicity on Central News has bailed you out, so have a good fist shake at the injustice that rules were broken and move on.

No not really. The only reason people promoted the women’s team was to use them for their own (failed) ends at regime change. It’s pathetic
