Talk:K.S.K. Beveren

Ivory Coast connection
Of most interest to international readers is surely the Ivory Coast connection of S.K. Beveren. At one time they had an almost exclusively Ivorian team, which led Belgian fans and the press to nickname them S.K. Ivory Coast. The club, which was in financial difficulties at the time, was being used as a shop window for young Ivorian players who wanted to come and play in Europe, and indeed many of those players managed to make it into bigger European leagues. I'd suggest someone who knows more details about this add a paragraph about this to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.22.24.206 (talk) 01:59, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

A short but clear explanation of the situation can be found here, though I'm not sure whether this site is reputable enough to be used as a source on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.22.24.206 (talk) 02:05, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
