Today, Zhenis Astana announced that Georgian-Kazakstani billionaire Mikheil Lomtadze had bought the club. Astana finished 6th in the Kazakhstan Premier Division, and play in the nation's capital.
It now means that Wycombe Wanderers join a select group alongside Manchester City, Chelsea, the Red Bull franchise and Crystal Palace in becoming clubs part of a multi-club system, with some level of strategic involvement between various clubs.
This is not entirely new even within the English Football Leagues. Waterford Town FC and Fleetwood Town FC were owned and operated by the now disgraced Andy Pilley (with both now being chaired by his son). The two clubs co-operated in regards to transfers, with a large number of players going between the two clubs to mixed effect, with Waterford being promoted to the Irish Premier Division while Fleetwood were relegated to League Two.
