New Swedish investors on the way? (1 Viewer)

Jimthor · Mar 28, 2011

Coventry Observer reporter Steve Carpenter (@stevecarpo) has just tweeted:

A new investor group from Sweden are apparently looking into the possibility of investing in Coventry City and the Ricoh Arena

He says this is all he knows and it's just something he's been told.

For me there's a couple of key parts to take from this too, aside from the obvious "holy fuck, someone might actually invest!".
The first is that they're looking into investing into the stadium as well as the club, very good news indeed.
And the second is that they're "looking into the possibility". So likely still at an early stage, could yet fall apart.

But promising news if true!

On a side note, wonder if this is tomorrow's "big news" in the CET?

The CableGuy · Mar 28, 2011

If true, its welcome news, but....we've been here before.

Remember the Manhattan Group?

Fooking so tired of false dawns for this club, on and off the pitch.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · Mar 28, 2011

Ooooo... cricky. I'm getting up early to get the CET.

The CableGuy · Mar 28, 2011

I hope its something.....bigger than this to be honest.

I want 'Investors to invest into CCFC', not 'Well, these investors are kinda maybe looking into it.'

We're gonna be rich i tell ya!!!!!

As I am swedish I spent the last 10 minutes scanning all swedish sportspages on the web and there´s nothing bout any investors here in sweden...I hope you are right though.
On a sidenote, I found that Roland Nilsson on march 16 were talked about as the new ccfc manager but it now looks like he will leave malmo for fc Copenhagen and champion league football.

Jimthor · Mar 28, 2011

Steve has now added:
"Nothing more than a rumour I would think. We shall see."

I'd expect the CET to have something more substantial tomorrow too, although they do seem to thrive on non-stories at times, so who knows. Maybe they will be persuing this story except with more depth and evidence.

GaryPendrysEyes · Mar 28, 2011

The rumour mill seems to be building in a positive way... I am beginning to feel some optimism,, unusual for a miserable old &^%$

sky_blue_up_north · Mar 28, 2011

Hope it's not another pie in the sky deal with no chance of it happening been let down to many times

Pigeon · Mar 28, 2011

Please please please let this be the good news!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · Mar 28, 2011

Remember this:

ranson_to_take_over_swedish_club

Could there be a relationship between the two?

Nick · Mar 28, 2011

Maybe he will buy both teams and have them as a feeder club like on FM!

I think the rumour mills will be working overtime until Wednesday.

More of the same: Investment Rumours
Speculation

les_miserables · Mar 28, 2011

I love ABBA

rob9872 · Mar 28, 2011

Maybe Ulri-ka-ka-ka will be buying us because she wants to sleep with one (or more) of our players

She likes 'em rough though & Marlon is probably heading to the valleys.

We wouldn't call them we would all be looking forward to Wednesday's edition when SBT gets a mention for "crazed internet psycopath goes on killing frenzy"

Would be a co incidence if that happened though!

IrishSkyBlue · Mar 28, 2011

hopefully if they are swedish we get some big boobed hooter cheer leaders lol.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · Mar 28, 2011

Yeah! Boobs.

OyJimmy · Mar 28, 2011

Wait now I don't know if I want us to be taken over by the Swedes or a middle East oil sheik. Boobs or burka's?

rob9872 · Mar 28, 2011

Burkha over the boobs is fine if the eye hole is where the nips are

Covstu · Mar 29, 2011

Perhaps its Ikea, they are in Cov???

Jimthor · Mar 29, 2011

Can you imagine a football team run by ikea?! They'd show up with only 10 players and fall apart as soon as there's any pressure on them! ;D

Il Pirata · Mar 29, 2011

Rather Swedes than Finns then?

and imagine trying to get out of the Ricoh after the game - it'd take hours... oh, hang on, it already does!!

I think it would be the other way around ...

There's a plus to having small crowds then.

I think you'll find the majority of us are 6ft plus and upright.

hackneyfox · Mar 29, 2011

Does that help reach the corners?

Quality over quantity Hackers

Great_Expectations · Mar 29, 2011

Maybe we will nick Sven from Leicester too - just to add to the sweetness of the deal.

We just like going in fancy dress as sky blue chairs!
