Gallowgate Toon Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I think it's a widescale problem in our current society, tbh. Everyone has their opinion and it's a really, really important opinion, despite having little-to-no-knowledge of what actually happened. See Brexit, Covid etc. Almost alien these days to either admit you don't know something enough or that someone may just know better than you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 And if a fan told you what it was like I'm sure they'd dismiss it because they think we expected too much of him (he came in promising the league in five years, there are headlines that showed it!) so it was the other way round if anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Personally think this is just lazy journalism but after seeing that dopey fucker’s Tweet about Ashley buying 7 of our top 10 most expensive signings ever, I hope he goes there and sucks the life out of their club, the way he did ours. I’ve said this multiple times on here too, but really want Doubtfire to get the London FC job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I don't believe it. Always ruled out the mackem/Ashley fantasy because they don't make money - money being the only reason he was here, stayed here and was at Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Think he’d be decent for a championship club. He’d probably do things a little differently but not much. Think Derby would take surviving comfortably in the championship right now, but that’s all they’ll ever be from now on and there will be very little chance of him leaving once his claws are in. So short term it might seem a good thing for them, after the initial save it’ll be a forgettable 20 years of nothingness, poor sods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them in the PL and he’ll be able to shift them for a healthy profit. Stinks of Ashley this does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've often said we'd have been better off if he hadn't "saved" us in 2007. Worst case scenario is we'd have gone down (never looked likely until Ashley) and come back up but without him for the next 13years and have been better off Edited October 9, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 "The Rams raid makes sense with Ashley’s Sports Direct headquarters just 30 miles from Pride Park in Shirebrook. He also wants to give his Sports Direct empire a public platform and owning Derby County would provide that." Notice the reasons he has - it's for furthering Sports Direct once the signs eventually go down here, probably for free as long as he can get away with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 He'd probably ride an initial wave of hope, get excited go drinking with fans, and as soon as he appoints bruce and fucks it up and the fans turn he will just treat them like money cows like us from then on.

midds Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 He's a brilliant businessman, everyone says so. He's also the saviour of the high street, just ask any Debenham's (ex) employee. He's great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 He'd probably dish out a few of those interest free loans to them, get them out of administration and keep them up. That's probably what they see and why they'd take him. Whether the future after that is what Derby fans want then fair enough to them. We fell from grace from being more or less where Spurs are now to being perennial relegation battlers. They're in their worse state for probably decades. Trying to tell us he was good though, that can fuck right off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like why would a club’s fan base be so delighted to see him go, partying in the streets if he was in any way a good owner Going by that forum its because they're buying into those perpetuated myths. "Delusions of grandeur, were only good for a couple years in the 90s, not won anything since the 50s, good support is a myth" et cetera et cetera. It's water off a duck's arse to me now. If they want him they're welcome to the parasite, for them 4 out of 6 years being 17th in the PL is paradise at the minute and that's what they'll see.
