The difference between this investment and the football club investment is that there is logic behind it. It is an industry he is already succesful in. It allows him easy access to the growing UK craft beer market. It allows him to promote existing American beer into Europe. He has a chance of making a good return on his investment.

Other than the fact they are both based in Cumbria can anybody think of anything else the two potential investments have in common?

Just because a foreign billionaire chooses to buy a business in the same county doesn't mean it is any more likely that a billionaire wants to invest in the football club.

It could be. He will have been busy in the run-up to the takeover which could explain why he hasn't met AJ and JN. He also wants to promote his Kentucky Ale internationally so linking up with a football club would be a good way of doing it. Being US based he is also less likely to get involved in day-to-day matters leaving the current directors in place.

Overall it seems to tie up. A modest £1.26m investment in the local football club to give his new venture a great marketing boost. Definitely the most likely billionaire so far.
