Silence of The Rams

Even if this deal does somehow scrape through, the fact that the completion date has over ran by over a week due to Anti money laundering checks, that would tell me at the very least he is a dodge pot who doesn't have the type of funds to run a club the way fans would like to be ran.

The Chelsea deal seemed to sale through and that was a 2 billion pound deal, involving a entity in government hands due to a sanctioned individual and using finance from several different funding partners.
 
What do people think is genuinely going to happen here?

Without knowing the financial implications, i don't understand why nobody has gone in for them so that tells me that financially they're absolutely knackered. They've got a half decent squad, good ground, must have half decent training facilities you'd think, decent fans and one of the legends of the game in charge who can pull everyone together. You'd think people would be queuing up to get them on the cheap and absolutely batter league 1?

they have 5 contracted players, dont own the ground,and a large debt you would have to pay to aquire ownership. You would be paying £30 mil plus for a brand name and derby's league membership. You would need a significant investment to even be a steady championship team never mind a prem team.

Even in league 1 they aren't the best supported team, Sheff wed are far bigger and there is a few teams down there with good potential, Ipswich, Plymouth etc.

Leveraged buyout plus lots of debt moved 3 years out. Not looking good for them returning to “their proper level” anytime soon.

A.F.C. Derby County looking the better option!

Yup that is getting more likely by the day, next most likely is a long spell in the wilderness to reset the club, start to build assets again, and slowly build like Bolton have done. It's taken Bolton a decade to financially right the ship but they're still likely 5 +years away from the prem.
