roboto Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 From some very quick scanning of articles it seemed as though he came in as an advisor for Chansiri, but was secretly trying to work his way into fans affections by immersing himself in the club on social media. Then he made a lowball (£30m) offer to buy the club from Chansiri and was told to do one. Seems like he's doing a more straightforward tactic this time. Couple of key points I'd like to know more about: Is he a face of a consortium? (Probably) If so, who are they and where are they getting this 'debt free' money from as reported? Is the Matt Southall guy involved at all? Do we assume that this is the only bidder now? Is the Abu Dhabi deal completely dead? Are other bidders interested after rumours of US investment etc. over the last couple of months? Will Mel keep some control to make sure that the new owners don't asset strip the club?

DCFC1388 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 He has been following Derby on Twitter and liking posts well over a month so shows that he has been in talks for a while. Below are what he has said about his departure from Sheff Weds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olton Ram Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The choice between some Emirati time wasters or a Spanish bloke too dodgy even for Sheff Wed. I'm not sure I can take this level of stress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammy03 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'm really not sure about this at all. This guy looks very unprofessional.

Or is there more to that story? I'd see it as a green flag if anything. Chansiri is leading the Wendies on a long road of collapse currently.

Rab a dab doo Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 The main question is have we ACTUALLY seen the colour of 'his' Euro's yet. We don't want to be Sheikh(ed), rattled and rolled again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Can someone tell me what is so bad abour this Alonso guy? Looks to me like he left Sheff W due to him having 1 idea (wanting to appoint Cook) and Chansiri having another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really worry you? My LTD company doesn't have a website, the company employs a few people and is the vehicle for revenue & expenses, assets & liabilities. There is, literally, no reason for me to go to the expense of creating and maintaining a website. Just saying, there are more relevant things to be worried about.
