Gillingham Football Club have issued a club statement in relation to the possible takeover or investment into the Club.

The statement reads:

“The Board of Gillingham Football Club have confirmed on several occasions over the past year that they are seeking new investment into the Football Club.”

“This investment could take the form of new ownership, part share sale or medium/long term loans.”

“The Board are currently in discussion with several credible parties, however, as is normal in such circumstances these discussions are confidential and fall under dual party NDA’S (Non-Disclosure Agreements).”
