Club Want To Get it Right On And Off The Pitch - Clarke

Last updated : 15 June 2011 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City's Vice Chairman John Clarke has pledged to get it right on and off the field.

Mr Clarke is part of a Board which is setting up an Asian Business Group and forging closer links with Coventry University and the Chamber Of Commerce, as well as plans to bring together all the major local sporting institutions under a "Covsport" banner to promote the City of Coventry.

However, Mr Clarke warned supporters not to expect these to bring overnight rewards and told the CT: "This will not make money overnight. This is a platform for the football club which will build over two or three years.

"This forms part of a strategy and if we did not think there was a future for the club would we be laying the foundations for a strategy?

"There is a tough economic climate at the moment but there are businesses out there interested in investing in football clubs and they need to see the opportunities of being part of this club.".
