    Absolutely worth discussing, sorry if I came across dismissive, just my opinion is they wouldn't be interested in us.

    Good point about potentially "making" teams high profile, but I think what they did in Germany is a bit different. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they renamed SSV Markranstädt, just bought their place in the league and created an entirely new club from scratch? They started on the bottom rung of the German league system and slowly worked their way up, building the brand as they went.

    There is also a hell of a lot more money in the Prem than the Bundesliga, and it's far more competetive. It's overall a much, much riskier investment. Which is why I think they would want some guaranteed return before they even considered investing. This is what naming rights of the Olympic Stadium in London offers them - we have nothing like that.
