An investor group that has supported Linkoping HC with millions of kronor annually may continue its funding beyond the 2025/26 season, according to reports. The group, led by Magnus Lidén, who also sits on the club's board, had previously indicated that the 2025/26 season would be the last with its support. Lidén stated that the group is not closing any doors and that no one in the group has definitively said no to continuing.
The support has reportedly been at least ten million kronor per year, with a total estimated around 40 million kronor. Lidén denied rumors that the investors influenced player signings, saying there is no truth to claims they directed transfers. The group aims to find more investors to share the financial burden.

The club's former sports director, Peter Jakobsson, left his position at the end of January, with rumors suggesting external pressure for top signings contributed to his departure, but he reportedly acknowledged that the funding helped attract high-profile players to Linkoping.
