- Peter Tom: CVC investment creates unique opportunity
- Tigers have not won the Premiership title since 2013
Leicester Tigers have announced plans to sell the club. The move comes after CVC Capital Partners acquired a minority stake in Premiership Rugby Limited, which Tigers have revealed led to several expressions of interest from new investors.
“CVC’s investment in Premiership Rugby has created a unique opportunity – catapulting the sport into the public consciousness like never before and broadening its appeal to potential investors,” said Leicester’s executive chairman Peter Tom. “It is our duty as a board to explore the club’s strategic options and assess the best possible ownership structure to benefit from the changes ahead on and off the pitch.”
