Tarki Alalshikh Refutes Rumors About Buying Bristol City: What We Know.

Tarki Alalshikh's Statement Regarding the Purchase of Bristol City

According to The Sun: Saudi boxing expert Tarki Alalshikh has refuted rumors about a possible purchase of Bristol City Football Club.

The head of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, which organizes major boxing fights in the Middle East, had previously been linked to Bristol City due to rumors about his intention to add the English football club to his sports portfolio.

However, Alalshikh, whose fortune is estimated at around 2 billion pounds sterling, made it clear that Bristol City is not on his radar.

“It is not true that I will buy Bristol City FC [thumbs up].”

Steve Lansdown has owned the club since 2002. In February, he halted discussions about a potential buyout, and then the club made its way to the Championship playoffs.

Former Crystal Palace chief Simon Jordan claims that Alalshikh is actually interested in two other second-tier clubs – Millwall and Southampton.

Jordan added that he tried to divert Alalshikh's attention from south London rivals Palace by offering another club in need of investment.

“I’ve told him and tried to talk him out of Millwall because I don’t think it’s a proper football club, but that’s a different discussion.”

“But it is Millwall, and he likes Southampton.”

“I suggested Sheffield Wednesday to him. He doesn’t want Sheffield Wednesday.”

Sheffield Wednesday fans are still calling on owner Dejphon Chansiri to finally sell the club. The team's financial situation leaves much to be desired, and the owners have repeatedly delayed payments to players and staff over the year.

Despite speculation surrounding Alalshikh, he continues to be an active player in the sports arena and is looking for new opportunities in the football world. The concerns of fans regarding the financial state of third-tier clubs indicate tough times for many teams in England waiting for changes in ownership or new investments.
