Takeover ... (1 Viewer)

A multi-millionaire businessman has revealed he is one of the men behind a consortium attempting to takeover Coventry City .

Richard Overson, 49, recently saw his financial services company sold for £208million and says he is going public in a bid to show CCFC’s London hedge fund owners Sisu that the consortium is serious in its attempt to buy the club.

Mr Overson, who lives in Stratford-upon-Avon and is a life-long Sky Blues fan, also said the other unnamed investors in Gary Hoffman’s consortium were wealthy men.

But he also spoke of his frustration that the consortium’s three bids to date had been given short shrift by Sisu boss Joy Seppala and said that meaningful talks must take place before another offer would be considered. He also indicated the consortium was prepared to improve on its most recent offer.

Speaking exclusively to the Telegraph, he said: “I got in touch five or six weeks ago with Gary Hoffman and offered to help.

“I’m willing to put money in and I’m not looking for a return.

“Lets get the club back to the city, playing in the city and back to the supporters.

“If we can do that, then it’s down to the supporters.”
