This says they were interested in Derby but pulled out and were looking for another English club. So maybe they are interested in buying a team like us. Better question is is DC looking to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better question is is DC looking to sell If Jimmy and Sawney take over, at least that should spell the end of the feckless Moore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll bet a penny to the pound that our next owners will be ones that have a sustainable plan in place to grow the club rather than the boom or bust approach. I’ve seen rumours that the Easdale brothers who are/were involved at Rangers are looking for a club? I could see us being one they are looking at? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 These Easdale chaps seem to have a decent track record in business, self made wealth and also have a history with taxi firms (might also take D Taxis off his hands) Previous reports regarding Derby mentioned Malaysian backers, also a link to Mike Ashley.

Ellis Rimmer Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 On 21/01/2022 at 14:25, Groundhopping Owl said: Thing is, they bought a village club from just outside Leipzig (SSV Markranstädt) and just completely uprooted and re-branded it. The whole point is they prefer clubs without much in the way of "baggage" i.e. history or a significant existing fanbase, so we'd be a pretty poor choice in that sense. If they ever attempted an incursion into English football I'd expect something like them buying out Curzon Ashton and turning them into "Red Bull Manchester", or Gateshead becoming "Red Bull Newcastle". But Salzburg were one of the most successful Austrian clubs so thats not strictly true. Obviously in the US where they have a club nobody has a history there. It seems to me that they don’t have a consistent club to buy other than it being a big ish city where they buy from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Never sure about these kinds of links I think running a club is nothing like running a business these days purely because of the finances I know that sounds mad but you run a business fit bottom line profit this is impossible to do at football clubs wishing to push on up the football pyramid There needs to be calculated sustainable ( if such thing losses ) what I would say is hopefully they have a clear vision / plan for the club and a workable budget to achieve their goals chansiri went for the s£&t or bust approach abs we know where that ended up but in all seriousness his initial approach and investment in the first team nearly paid off it’s what followed that caused us awful decision making in the board room poor recruitment and overspending on fees and wages lack or nearly no player sales I could go on embargo’s followed terrible manager appointments and relegation sees us where we are I don’t think chansiri ever had a plan except trying to buy the championship my question is would two respected business have what it takes in their pockets to put a budget together healthier enough and the right structure / vision together to execute a successful rise up the table I can’t see why anybody invests in a football team for finance reasons which is what they seem to have built their portfolio of success on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Why does business acumen really matter anyway, football clubs aren’t no business Financial black holes, still way too many people about that can’t grasp a football club can rarely be run as a profitable business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
