This bloke is looking to run Derby with somebody elses money rather than his own and doesn't give a toss about the club. 47 minutes ago, Chester40 said: Nailed it. Wow the podcast tells us the backer is SO high profile and has SO much wonga that he wants anonymity. So he has a front, a highly respected Sheikh (Dr Sheikh in fact). Might explain the 2bn bid for Liverpool And you guys are crying out for Peter Gadsby !!! My only concern was that the backer was Mansour. I’m dying for that 30% to come through, so long as it’s the same backer Edited January 21 by kevinhectoring Link to post Share on other sites

RedSox 577 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) From Rooney's presser coverage on the DET: "It’s (takeover) is very close, that is the information I have been given.

Asheville Ram 297 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 17 minutes ago, Chester40 said: And this mysterious billionaire backer has what motivation to buy us and stay silent? I posted this mid-December "When he tried to buy Liverpool back in August 2019, the Liverpool ECHO reported that the proposal from from Sheik Khaled didn't get past the vetting stage with New York-based boutique investment bank Allen & Company. It was judged the offer was neither credible nor worthwhile to be put forward to major shareholders John W Henry and Mike Gordon". Obviously Mel would have used a specialist financial company to handle the mechanics of the deal, to suggest he would and could have done is own due diligence is fanciful, whatever happens he could now sue for breach of contract, but hey that did not get the sheiks lawyers anywhere did it. I would implore Mel give up on this "deal" to the mysterious billionaire. Link to post Share on other sites
