Understandably there’s a need for caution, and I’ve already noticed posters on here and online voicing doubts and concern….but we can be cautiously optimistic can’t we? 
He is a wealthy man, willing to attempt a takeover of this stricken club. He might not be as wealthy as Mike Ashley but neither is Appleby right? And CK definitely wasn’t. At least we know he is a legitimate businessman with legitimate wealth, something he will be able to evidence to the EFL. As some other posters have mentioned his wealth shouldn’t be the defining factor in his potential stewardship of the club anyway, the club NEEDS to be ran sensibly after the last few years and will have to work to EFL imposed restrictions so sorting the stadium and the debts then carefully rebuilding the club on a budget is the ideal scenario in my opinion. 
I mentioned it in another post, he’s well placed to action the takeover sooner than other parties having already (allegedly) done the work to buy the stadium, any other bidder would be weeks behind in the process for this.
I’m hopeful we’ll get official word tomorrow and things will start to progress further next week. 

It’s interesting as I heard earlier today that He had actually purchased the ground on the 17th of this month which is rather specific 
Anyway I asked earlier this morning for today to be a positive day and it seems it may well be

He’s already shown his commitment after “beating off” the other three interested parties

Does he stand with us minions, Curtains?
How many times did you say hello to him Curtains before he moved stands?

Ignore the money, I just expect them to put enough work and effort in to make more good decisions than bad.
Mel thought money could cover for poor decision making, it didn’t. It compounded it.

If they do like kicking Mel Morris they’re not kicking him hard enough.

Clowes also has the advantage of being close to part of the process already, allegedly being close to owning Pride Park alongside the failed CK bid he/his legal team will have done a massive amount of due diligence on the stadium deal already

Good point.  But he’s carried it on an ran it successfully.  MM kept buying a lottery ticket and got lucky. 
The OADT should be a walk in the park.  I’ve said before I’m a glass half full type of bloke but I really think this could be it ?.
And to be honest, I’ll just be glad to get back to discussing football again.  Even if it’s 12th in L1 I really don’t care as long as there’s a DCFC to watch on a Saturday afternoon.

He's the real deal

Very good! 

Perhaps he needs to pose with golfers so people believe he is real.

Agree, fabulous news 

The ‘possibly working with other bidders’ is intriguing. Maybe there will be a final twist 

this is the most relieving news I have read in months to be honest I dunno why people are so negative about it
 
hes skipping the politics and tyre kicking and is getting straight down to business
 
he will receive a very warm welcome from me if he gets this done
