Hopefully, the legacy supporters of those PL sides will decide to go and watch/support their local div 4 or NL sides instead.

Or more likely they've been bought by a Far East consortium fronted by an Indonesian who is himself using the 29-year old Spaniard with little to no experience and very little money of his own as a front man. It could be fine, it might not be. But you're right the original article is badly out of date. TBF it is from February so it was accurate then.

The problem is that there are concerns he won’t pass the ‘test’ as the EFL are twitchy about where the money is actually coming from. My link was really about how they got to this point - and that’s with a fan as owner who has put £100m of his own money in!

Latest The takeover of Derby County is in serious doubt after claims that prospective owner Erik Alonso has attempted to refinance Pride Park in a bid to fund the deal. Sportsmail has been told that alarm bells are ringing inside the club and there is a realisation that the buyout is unlikely to go through. Alonso has provided proof of funds — it is not known if this money belonged to him or an associate — but sources say he does not intend to use that to complete the purchase of the Championship club. What’s also interesting in our current situation is that Alonso also acts as an agent so it seems incredulous that the EFL/FA have even let the buyout get this far.

Here’s an interesting statistic. In games against 7 of the 8 top teams in L1 the piss stains have amassed just 8 points.
STFC have 11.

We should be allowed to swap league places with them on that basis alone!

Or, in fact, not bought, as it turns out Alonso is as suspected, a massive bullshitter with no money https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1390548540498264073EDIT: apologies to Audrey who it seems has already posted pretty much the same info. AudreyMedia could rival tansmedia for being first off the press!

Isn't this broadly what the Glazers did to buy Man Utd?

Pretty much. Raised loans on the club to buy it. What a scam that is!
Apparently since 2013? when the Glazers ‘bought’ Man Utd the loans they used have racked up £833m in interest alone!
Derby are right in it - even if they survive getting relegated tomorrow.

And the Americans who have just bought Burnley with their own (i.e. Burnley's) cash reserves. They've turned a £50m surplus into an £80m debt to finance their takeover

Uefa fining 9 of the teams a paltry £1.5m each for the ESL debacle. Pathetic
