Dirk Kuijt, Ronald Koeman, Dennis Bergkamp and Henrik Larsson will buy a club in England together with Rob Jansen, the latter reports in the podcast KieftJansenEgmondGijp. The player's agent cannot yet say which club the quintet has in mind, but it is clear that the plans are serious.
“We are in the process of buying a club in England,” Jansen said on Monday. “I'm not allowed to say which club yet. I can say which group we will do it with. Ronald Koeman, Dennis Bergkamp, Henrik Larsson and Dirk Kuijt.”
“We are now looking at League Two or League One. We do this with some people around us and we also have the financiers. It does not have to be in London,” the agent emphasizes.
“The plan is to manage the football club in the broadest sense of the word. So the way we think it should be. Trainings, hospitality, merchandising, marketing, everything. We have a group, and maybe one or two more will join.”
“The names I mention will also do a certain job within the club. Henrik Larsson would like to become a head coach. Bergkamp will set up the academy. And Koeman also comes over to do his things.”
“It is being checked whether it is allowed according to regulations, but in principle it is allowed,” says Jansen. “The purchase price per club varies very much in England. In addition to purchasing, you also have a complete financing plan surrounding it. Just hold on to ten million.”
“But the experience is enormous there. When you visit those clubs there. The experience cannot be compared to other clubs in Europe. It is not yet entirely clear when it will all finally happen.”
“We do take the time to select the club. We are now looking in the Manchester and Birmingham area. It is being taken very seriously now,” says Jansen.
