Not sure, but apparently we get our oil from Norway so members can sleep easy tonight knowing they are not funding the Middle East when they drive their cars.

There's all sorts of ffp rules to prevent that aha. But why would anyone, other than a wealthy fan, buy Derby County? It's a money pit. As an investment, it makes no sense. It might work as part of a multi-club group. It works as a way for a multi-billionaire to get a brilliant train set, but not as an investment vehicle.

Some clubs in Prem can survive with similar size crowds to us and the Prem cash. They need a genius manager however to keep them up. Smart signings are the key.

They need a genius manager however to keep them up. Smart signings are the key. I'm sure we could survive and be sustainable in the PL. But that's not the deal on offer as we're not in the PL. To get us there needs a minimum outlay of funding the club for the rest of the season - assuming that the asset (the club) doesn't go down in value. So that's maybe £20m. But for £20m, the chances are somewhere close to zero that we'd go up from our current position. Even if we got things right from here, it's going to be another £20m for next season, plus whatever players we need to bring in. Then the owner gets a competitive Championship cub which might or might not go up. The chances are that you'd have spent £50m over two years and achieved nothing. I believe that if you could get around FFP you could buy promotion, but attempting to sensibly invest for it just doesn't make sense. It's the most expensive lottery in the world with really terrible odds. Putting it on a horse in the 2.30 at Newmarket is a far more sane option.

My Norwegian friends do find this hilarious! For so many decades considered the uncultured country bumpkins, and now the ones with the wealth. Both such beautiful countries I think I'll retire in one or the other. 3 hours ago, David said: Not sure, but apparently we get our oil from Norway so members can sleep easy tonight knowing they are not funding the Middle East when they drive their cars. Though while flogging the oil to us, the Norwegians drive electric cars. I think the highest ownership per capita of Teslas in the world! ?

I'd prefer us not to get investment from a country that isn't a democracy, particularly from someone who is part of that system. Is that enough to stop me supporting my team or wanting us to do well? of course not. No one has said on here has said they will forsake the club if this happens. You are creating a straw man argument. That's why I put other in the question. So your comment is actually redundant. My original question allows for shades of grey in the answer. Duh!!!!!
