Ethically, up there with the worst. But I recon the body that assess them will let it through regardless. Whether they achieve anything with this or not, who knows.
I know the Derby fans I used to talk to when my kids were part of a team, were convinced any investment in the club would be just that, and control would remain with those that had taken the club over after Mel Morris. But who invests 80% without a big say in how it is used?

I'd absolutely love it if the new regulator blocked it and pissed all over their dreams, but there's too much virtue signalling going on in this country these days and as far as I understand it, this guy is a private individual and he's not acting on behalf of the Saudi government, so he should be allowed to invest in who he wants to without a load of f*****g freedom fighters arguing against and using football as their latest weapon.

Sheep losing 2-0 at home to Lincoln in the EFL Cup 1st round.
Always funny when they get knocked out before we even enter the competition.

Think theyve had a lucky escape actually.
Saying Clowes is going it alone but they could easily be relegation fodder without some further investment
