Man Behind Highfield Group Bid Comes Forward

Last updated : 22 April 2014 By Covsupport News Service

One of the people involved in the Highfield Group's bid for Coventry City has come forward.

Coventry born Martin Kelman, who is a Dallas-based soccer agent and entrepreneur, has said that he feels that the time is right to make the bid.

He told the Coventry Telegraph's Simon Gilbert: “I am a lifelong City fan, I grew up in Eastern Green, I moved to Birmingham when I was about ten but remained a Sky Blues supporter.

“Making some kind of bid is something I have been considering for about two years. I don’t need to do this - but I feel like it is the right time to do it.

“I have some people in the US who are interested in investing and some people over here. I will be looking to launch the campaign soon.

“Because I own the platform, no money will be taken out - we can put it all into the club. There’s no time limit either, it can be a constant drip.”
