He's a partner in that, not the owner. Typically he'd charge 1-2% of any initial investment, and 20% of any profit made, per year. All will become clear soon enough is assume, but the Athletic are suggesting the investment to come can be measured in single figure millions. Single figure millions? Are we talking a Bradley Johnson type figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch of salt time though, how would they know, and why would we advertise it? Mel certainly didn't front up the cash for 100,% of Derby initially, so it could be a similar invest in installments deal, maybe that helps in P&S terms somehow?

Comrade 86 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Is it established as yet whether the investment is from Gabay or the hedge fund as yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, we'll maybe find out soon enough, I can't see the club seeing the cat come out the bag and not clarifying things sooner rather than later. Another employee of the hedge fund has been added to the director list of the new company too, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem to point towards the hedge fund then in which case Gabay's net worth may be irrelevant, which is kind of what I'd assumed when this was first mooted. Guess we'll know soon enough.

Millenniumram Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Surprising news that. I’d have thought it would have been a minority share investment, at least to start with, to boost the finances. Then maybe a gradual takeover over the coming year. That sounds to me more like a full takeover now, just leaving Mel in charge up in Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramleicester Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I want to know how the money will be put into the club. If it is not revenue then it does not help the FFP balance enabling players to be purchased. And we need some players!!! One thing that I do know is that they are waiting on a final word from the EFL on the stadium issue. My colleague acting on an unrelated contract issue with DCFC in the chain and have been put on hold to 1.1.20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Certain bits of work on the training ground was only going ahead if the takeover happened. Work is beginning to start which says the takeover is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC Ram Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Without wanting to kick open an Brexit debate, the next 12 months seems a particularly risky time to make a major investment in anything that isn't a staple requirement for people living in the UK. Should there be any form of downturn- eg negative equity in housing, the levels of disposable cash for leisure purchases etc could take a severe hit. Same could be said for the vulnerability to increases in prices of fuel etc should the pound take a hit v the dollar. Point being that it could be worse as this, the same or better... ie risky.
