    EFL give Green Light for Derby County Takeover

    EFL give green light to Abu Dhabi Royals £60 million take over of Derby County.

    Could they rename the club Dhabi County, & have the nick name, Dhabi Dhabi Bu's, & come out to the theme to song of TV programme, Scoobi Doo, at home games.

    They are another lot who were creative with their accounting practices.

    To be fair they were found not guilty though which otherwise translates as Derby have a very competent legal team

    I'd heard they were also going to get Bury FC going again under the new name of The Gigg Lane Sheikhers.
