Rob Couhig & Wycombe Wanders

American businessman Rob Couhig has completed his takeover of League One Wycombe Wanderers, purchasing a 75% stake from the Wycombe Wanderers Trust.
The 70-year-old, who is also a lawyer, becomes club chairman and chief executive, and his wife Missy and nephew Pete also join the board. The Trust retains a 25% share and former chairman Trevor Stroud will keep a seat on the club's board.
Wycombe are third in League One, one point behind both of the top two sides. Couhig's company Feliciana EFL Ltd become the majority shareholders and will invest £2.2m to settle Wanderers' existing debts and make an additional £1m available. Feliciana will also fund a new 15-year lease on Adams Park at a cost of £150,000”
"This is a exciting day for us," Couhig told the club website. "My belief is that there is a real opportunity for future success and prosperity for the football club on and off the pitch.
quote:
Couhig, 70, and his firm had agreed a deal to buy Yeovil Town in February 2019, but he pulled out after they were relegated to the National League.
The New Orleans-based lawyer runs his own legal firm and twice stood unsuccessfully for election as mayor of the city. He has previously owned the New Orleans Zephyrs baseball team which plays at triple-A level, one rung below Major League Baseball.
Stroud added: "We thank Rob Couhig for the commitment he has shown to the club ever since accepting our call in June to support the club financially and operationally.
"Without his contribution at the time, we were facing an extremely precarious position and I don't believe the club would be in the position it is now had Rob not come forward.

2M for 75% seems awfully cheap...Wycombe was one game OUT of the playoff before the scourge

I wonder how much we'd have to pay to get the Soccer Board as tOfficial sponsor on their shirts.

£2.2m is a notable number because you need to invest £2m for an investor visa in the UK. Might have been why he put that much into the purchase in the first place.
Can we get a Popeyes shirt sponsor pls.

Fun fact, Wycombe do not have a youth development program or team of any kind.

I know his son pretty well. It would suck if they weren’t able to be promoted this season.

100% I would buy the 40% of Salford City that the class of 92 doesn't own
Primarily so I could hang out with Giggs and Scholes

How much would you’d think that cost?
It’s pretty tough to find values or purchasing amounts for any club under the championship

Honestly, probably more than he paid for Wycombe solely because of who the other owners are
