Cliftonville FC members have voted in favour of reopening talks with the Toronto Investment Group. The decision was made at an EGM, with a 75% majority achieved.
What happened?
The vote means the proposed takeover by TIG is back on, after the Canadian consortium took their offer off the table in January.
Cliftonville FC is currently 5th in the Northern Ireland Premiership, with 47 points from 33 games, and a recent form of LWWLL. The club's last result was a 1-2 loss to Dungannon Swifts on 2026-05-09.
Why it matters for Cliftonville FC
The potential takeover could serve as a major boost to the club's finances, with key figures such as former chairman Jim Boyce and ex-players George McMullan and Peter Murray backing the vote.

What comes next?
The club's management committee, led by chairman Kevin Crossan, will now enter formal negotiations with TIG, with the club's legal representatives engaging with their counterparts at TIG on the next step of the process. Cliftonville FC is 26 points behind leaders Larne in the Northern Ireland Premiership, and the potential takeover could be a significant factor in the club's future success.
