Revealed: The substantial sum Sunderland-linked Michael Dell is investing in Derby County
and live on Freeview channel 276
Dell was linked with a takeover of Sunderland last year - albeit as a passive, minority shareholder - and is now set to invest in the Rams.
And the Daily Mail claim the Championship side will be handed a sum of £30million, taking the form of a loan against the club's assets. That's treble the sum Sunderland received in a similar deal.

The Mail claim that Dell's investment in Derby will be a "commercial loan featuring strict repayment terms”, and will likely take a similar form to Furhman, Platek and Phelan’s loan to Sunderland – which was secured against the club and its assets.
