Haskell Makes New City Bid

Last updated : 31 May 2013 By Covsupport News Service

The consortium involving Preston Haskell IV has made a new bid for Coventry City, according to this morning's Coventry Telegraph.

The consortium involving Joe Elliott and Gary Hoffman have put in a new bid due to being in advanced talks about purchasing the 50% share of the Ricoh Arena as well as other commercial discussions.

Gary Hoffman told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “Our objective would be to do a deal on the stadium and buy the football club, the golden share, to enable us to reunite the heart and home of Coventry City because Coventry has not had a home, really, since Highfield Road because it has been a tenant.

“It would be great to reunite the heart and the home and to have Coventry City playing at the Ricoh from day one of the new season.

“That’s what we want to do and that’s what Preston Haskell wants to do, and he’s committed to doing that.”
