@owlstalk Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 The 29-year-old was formerly an adviser to Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri, with YorkshireLive reporting that the Owls owner turned down an offer in the region of £30m from Alonso and 'Indonesian backers' to buy the club last year.

torryowl Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) another i know nothing of but again seems like wrong un .......do we ever have dealings with people who are sound ? Edited April 7, 2021 by torryowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Buyers need to show proof of funds but not indefinite funding. We know ourselves too that even with long term funding, there can still be issues. It seems the luck of the draw is key on that front and how good the people in real control are and their connections. Then there is FFP to contend with, it’s not a clean slate at Derby. If a club owner really needs to sell then there is always a bigger risk of legacy issues. We nearly found that out with Milan and Mammadov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kameron Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Old Erik, he makes Geoffrey Sheard look a professional and creditable businessman. If it looks and smells like bullshit it's bullshit, genuine deals get done behind the scenes and announced when complete, none of this agreed to buy b* llocks.

Do you think his internet profile made him look legitimate or professional? Do you think we would somehow have survived this season had he taken us over in January? Bizarre how you take him seriously on what basis? He has less credentials than Chansiri had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not exactly been shy in criticising Chansiri but this bloke is covered in more red flags than Bernie Madoff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 6 hours ago, S36 OWL said: He is a front man for a consortium, same as he was when he made the bid for us. He has the funds, regardless of whether they are his or his backers. Why did he post that he was a shareholder then? Just becuase he is moving a consortium towards owning Derby it doesn't mean it is a good thing. Clubs can get worse as a result of takeovers you know.
