Surely a ship tycoon would be more interested in Hull?

Or even Anchorington Stanley.

And he'll need a Crewe to sail the ship.

I'd expect David Seaman to be installed as goalkeeping coach if this happened.

If he does take over I hope he makes a stern examination of Lambert's record to date.

Why would he want to buy a football club? Whatever floats his boat I suppose.

That means we'll cruise to the top of the league next season.

Just checked him out on Wiki and Forbes reckons he's worth about $5.9 billion which makes him the 169th richest person in the world.
He owns two 200 foot long yachts which he lives on, so anyone passing Gas St. Basin could you check to see if one of them is moored there.

He could park it (moor it?) up the cut under spaghetti junction.
