Nah, what we be peak Derby, and peak EFL would be something like... This Alonso guy really is the real deal, his backers are genuine and have untold riches. The EFL though see some a small reason within their rules that they can disallow the takeover, it collapses & we go looking for another new buyer before ending up with an absolute walloper who despite passing all the tests (after all, the Sheikh did!) buys us and over the next couple of years proceeds to ruin us, sending us down to League 2. Meanwhile, 6 months after they refuse to sanction Alonso's takeover of Derby the EFL make some small adjustments to their rules and he finds another club to buy, the new rules mean his his ownership is approved and within 2 years they've blitzed the Championship, had a top 10 finish in the PL & qualified for Europe by winning a domestic cup.

After the final, Lampard thanks the board for believing in him, and singles out CEO Sam Rush for particular praise during his pitchside interview.

Alonso has to say he is acting alone because otherwise the EFL thinks: hmmm are we approving the right person as controller? In reality, if Alonso gets bundles of well-worn rupees from some Indonesian guy, seems likely that guy is in fact a controller. And needs to be approved. Looks like the EFL are already on to this.

CornwallRam Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 According to Kieran Maguire, agents aren't allowed to own clubs in England and Alonso claims to be an agent. Can we guess what is going to happen next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 This thread seems more about academy finances rather than any Spanish-based takeover. As for the takeover, I think Kieran McGuire is always desperate to appear in the know and has embarrassed himself over Derby on several occasions. A self-appointed "football-finance expert", he seems the only source for a link to Raja Oktohari, probably because McGuire does his research on Twitter and has seen the two together. And hopes for a Barry the Ram style scoop. I am dubious that the takeover will happen. After having his fingers burnt by the fake Sheikh, Mel has surely demanded solid proof of funds. But why would Alonso want to buy us when Championship Clubs are a guaranteed way of ending up with a small fortune? But only if starting out with a large fortune.

roboto Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Pretty sure Alonso has said in one of his many interviews last week that he has stepped away from the agency business to allow this all to go through. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inter politics Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Erick Thohir is an interesting name. I'm not saying he is the backer but he would make more sense (been involved with DC United, Inter Milan and Oxford). Due to his current state role, he might not be in a position to become owner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
