Derby County news follows the announcement by new Rams head coach John Eustace that club owner David Clowes has outlined the position about outside funding.
Derby County’s John Eustace has praised their efforts to increase investment in the club.
The new head coach of the Rams has discussed the matter with owner David Clowes, including potential investors. The comments came midway through the third year since Clowes Developments got the club out of administration and follow months of speculation about possible outside investment.
While staying in the Championship this season is a top priority, efforts are underway to ensure long-term investment. DerbyshireLive has the latest on this potential investment.
What we know about the potential investment
Clowes has discussed selling up to 80% of his Derby shares with possible investors, but no deal is currently in the works. Agreements may require Clowes to stay chairman and investors to support the club’s ideals and objectives.
DerbyshireLive understands the club and the stadium will stay under common ownership as part of any new investment and that there is no prospectus for investors, thus nothing such has been given to interested parties. According to the club’s current business strategy, they have enough cash for the rest of the season as well as the next two seasons.
What Eustace said
Eustace addressed the subject of potential investment during his first press conference on Thursday since becoming Derby’s new head coach. “There might be a prospect of investors, but I know the club is working very hard to bring more investment in,” he said.
“If not, the club is still in a very good position.”
