New Swedish investors on the way? (1 Viewer)

[Jimthor]

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?

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]

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

 

[The CableGuy]

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.'

 

[Bennets Afro]

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

 

[hitmanhearns]

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.

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.

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]

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

 

[Pigeon]

Please please please let this be the good news!

 

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

Remember this:

ranson_to_take_over_swedish_club

Could there be a relationship between the two?

 

[Nick]

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

[rob9872]

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.

I tell you what if i wake up tomorrow and with all this hype i read on the back of the telegraph O'Halloran seals a new contract.... i will go into the CET building with dual uzi's and start mowing me some journalist's down!



...... I Joke don't call the police, if it is that news.

 

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

Especially if something awful happens at the Telegraph tomorrow.

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]

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

 

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

Yeah! Boobs.

 

[OyJimmy]

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]

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

 

[Covstu]

Perhaps its Ikea, they are in Cov???

 

[Jimthor]

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]

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!!

 

[Godiva]

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

There's a plus to having small crowds then.

 

[JCR1987]

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

 

[hackneyfox]

Does that help reach the corners?

 

[rob9872]

Quality over quantity Hackers

 

[Great_Expectations]

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!
