The only conspiracy theory that makes any sense is the notion that some want this thread to get to 1000 pages. I've heard that reaching the thousand page milestone starts a bidding war between facebook and Twitter for the advertising rights.
It can be the only reason for the posting of such a massive amount of guff.

I heard the sheikh deal is back on when it reaches 1,000. I’m still holding out for Alonso though. He seemed like the real deal... did you see his house?

Will the Ukraine crisis make our bidders think again about spending millions on a money pit like a football club when a global recession is just around the corner?

Everyone seems to be hell bent on Ashley as he can splash the cash. He can't, no matter how much money he has. 
Mel invested a fortune on the squad, breaking FFP in order to make us competitive against the parachute clubs, but it broke us.
He invested heavily in the academy which isn't subject to FFP.
Ashley was criticised by The Toon Army for not investing in the infrastructure of the club, something Mel certainly did.
So money bags Mike can come in and but he cannot splurge on players because we play under FFP in this league. I don't see what a rich owner brings that will change anything. We can only spend what we earn.
So it doesn't matter who comes in the same amount of money will be available to Rooney, or whoever else is in charge next season.
It's a boring prospect but until The EFL and EPL make this a fair competition that's how it is.
Appelby 2.0 will get us stable and edging back to the top of the championship in due course.

The Derwent defines Derby it always has and always will. Those majestic waters filled by rivers, brooks and streams as it carves it’s magnificent path through our beautiful shire. My great-&grandparents followed that river downstream from different parts of the county looking for work but found each other. The town grew as more and more people left estates like Haddon, Hardwick and Chatsworth to turn their hand to engineering.
The football team grew too. Those people who came down from the shire identifying with the County bit as much as the Derby bit, felt a natural draw to the fledgling club. Attendances grew but we had to wait a long time for a trophy.
Wait we did 62 years in fact before the FA Cup was raised high above post-war Wembley. 
But it’s never been about trophies, it’s been about community and those deep, gritstone embedded roots, anchored, immovable, in this county.
