Coventry City Chairman Tim Fisher has denied that he is involved with any consortium interested in buying the Sky Blues.
Speaking to the Coventry Observer's Les Reid, Mr Fisher denied the rumours which have been circulating for the last few weeks and said: “I want to make it clear that people linking me to a takeover of the club is a nonsense.”
Of all other rumours of takeover bids, he said: “Sitting here as chairman of the club, it’s my clear understanding there has been no credible approach with a view to taking over the club.
“In any event, an approach would have to be accompanied by proof of funds and a transparent look-through to the ultimate end-investor. This has never happened.”
He continued: “We are clearly focused on football. We’ve brought in a new manager and we are making sure he has the tools to support him now and in the future.
“I had a working session with Mark Robins yesterday. We’ve sat down and prioritised what changes are needed – right here, right now. As the upmost priority, we’re pulling together and implementing a robust player recruitment framework – once and for all.
“It will be a recruitment system which includes a refreshed scouting network, a clear set of talent identification criteria and transparent communication to the board on progress – from identification of the talent through to securing the talent.
“We are looking at immediate improvements.”
