    Could the Saga of a Derby County Takeover, Finally go Through

    This seasons saga of a Derby County takeover, could finally come to a end next week.

    With the failed takeover bid by Derventio Holdings [UK] Ltd, fronted by Sheikh Khaled,
    which gave the Derby County owner Mel Morris & fans false hope.

    Then there was a American firm looking to takeover the club, but turns out they
    wanted to see which division, Derby County would be in next season.
    So held back.

    In steps Spaniard Erik Alonso, through his firm No Limits Sports Limited, who has
    agreed to buy the club.
    The EFL need to approve the deal, then the deal should go through next week.
    Alonso interviewed today on Sky Sports, said if the club needed money to buy
    players, money would be there, prompted by the interviewer, Alonso said
    if £150m was needed, it would be there.

    So could the saga come to a end, finally.

    But was enough to fool the EFL to allow transfer dealings in the Jan window

    I believe they got a loan from a American holding firm, to pay the players, thus allowing transfer dealings.

    150m for transfers, how does that impact on the financial rules?

    Maybe just a boast to the Sky interviewer, & the listening Derby County fans.

    MDS sports, the finacne company behind the loans, (to several team also) to Derby said the other week that they wanted payment in full before the take over is complete.....£17M.

    This Alonso is the guy who has been advising Chansiri at the Pig Sty so sounds like Derby will be in good hands.........or very slippy ones.

    Alonso tried to buy Wednesday's along with a few other investors, but did not offer
    enough to get the club.

    Yes, it sounds like they will get away once again from any impending sanctions. Ah well, we've got Tony Stewart the saviour of Rotherham United and that's good enough for me.
