Struggling to think of one this big...….more money involved with some of the Premiership clubs etc...but can't think of higher profile owners than R&R

Salford ownership team has more financial backing. Peter Lim worth £2b, Beckhams combined net worth apparently upwards of £300m...all other shareholders not short of cash.

Difference is that their documentary was on the BBC. Their visibility was much more limited.

Yes quite a few more.

Chelsea was huge at the time, so was Man City with Robinho signing on the first day. Two off the top of my head

I know you're purely talking profile but this is a pretty good read that gives some idea about scale of wealth here. The proposed Newcastle deal is ridiculous

I'm not on about pure cash, I'm talking the profile of the owners. No one had a scooby who Abramovich was

I was going to disagree on it being the most high profile but if you look at their numbers of followers on social media then yes our potential (not confirmed yet!) new owners must be up there.
