The Derby situation is headed by a Spanish group. Calm down everyone.

Spanish guy who is 29 , has 5 boxing bouts all in the far East and is fronting for a Indonesian group who seems to be involving Erik Thoir !It's by a Spanish guy based in Indonesia isn't it?
Has links with DCUnited as well"Erik Alonso is just 29 years old, claims to be a world champion boxer and gets his cash for the takeover from backers in Indonesia"
Commercial opportunities and them being contenders for the prem are what make it an attractive proposition.I'd have thought Pride Park was already pretty much developed so is there a easy way to make money out of it?
Though the land-grabs at Reading and our potential stadium move suggest there could always be a way.
It is incredibly difficult and expensive trying to get into the PL.Commercial opportunities and them being contenders for the prem are what make it an attractive proposition.
Not only is Pride Park fully developed but the ground is now owned by Mel Morris, the Chairman. He "paid" £60M ish for it, well set it off his ever increasing loan account.I'd have thought Pride Park was already pretty much developed so is there a easy way to make money out of it?

more likely to be in league 1 then the premiership.Commercial opportunities and them being contenders for the prem are what make it an attractive proposition.
Yeah I don't know where the Thohir links to derby have come from tbh?Search 'Erick Thohir Oxford' on twitter and many articles regarding our takeover are easily found. Search 'Erick Thohir Derby County' and there's nothing.
Yes, Oktohar took over the Indonesian Olympic job from Erick Thohir.To clarify, as I've put throughout the thread.
Erik Alosno was an advisor at Sheffield Wednesday...'advisor' being a loose term as there have been many 'advisors' to Chansiri over the years including Piempongsant.
Alonso reportedly attempted to offer the managers job to Paul Cook (above his job spec) and fell out with Chansiri. Alonso went on to make a ~30mill bid for Sheffield Wednesday before it being rejected and falling through. Whilst it wasn't believed Alonso had the funds himself, it was understood he was a front man for an Indonesian consortium.
Alonso has now gone on to bid for Derby. Matt Southall has acted as the broker in the deal (from Charlton fame). The assumption is Alonso is still backed by the Indonesian consortium - the details of who are unknown.
However, looking into Alonso he reportedly owns Bali United (although it's not mentioned on the club website), and was involved at DC United (https://theathletic.com/2463267/202...d-new-owner-and-what-it-means-for-mel-morris/). Yesterday I was told one of those in the consortium was Thohir...this could be correct or not. I have no reason to distrust those that said however since, Kieron Maguire has suggested Raja Sapta Oktohari is the investor ( ) who is involved with the Olympic Committee which I assume he has taken over from Thohir (?).
Looking at the above I can understand why I was told Thohir...it could be correct, it might be wrong. My suggestion in the OP was thats its one to keep an eye on if those behind the Derby take over become known, and if that impacts Oxford
Great researchTo clarify, as I've put throughout the thread.

EDIT: there is an obvious contradiction here with the coordinated press release 3 weeks ago outlining Thohir and Bakrie to take on 51%...why this would be released if involved in other bids is clearly at odds with one another.
Colin, are you still happy that things are progressing behind the scenes in terms of take over and new stadium?Yes, Oktohar took over the Indonesian Olympic job from Erick Thohir.
