He’s a billionaire (bad enough) but he’s not content with that level of parasitic living. He has to take it to the next level. It doesn't sound bad at all. He's got some nerve, wish he would take more helicopter rides, sooner or later one might go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejeck Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Especially with all the shit with Rangers, I was astounded that he went as quietly as he did in the end, and yet here he is, suing the very people who brought him a Kings ransom for his mere shell of an asset stripped football club. Absolutely shameless, he takes everything he can and the tries to take even more. Bloke is a monumental cunt of the highest order. If he gets Derby then the love affair might go on for a good few years, they're currently staring into a rusty bucket of rancid tramps piss so he'll probably be a massive beacon of light for them. It'll all go massively sour at some point though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Surely he's suing the individuals here rather than the club itself? This has to be a personal thing rather than a club thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be a personal thing rather than a club thing. Sounds about par for the course with him. May be cherry picking but it seems like most of his disputes end up being over some sort of relationship breakdown between him and an individual(s).

Robster Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I listened to a Private Eye podcast from last year where Ian Hislop was talking about Robert Maxwell and how he'd sue anyone and everyone if they dared to say or do anything against him. Think Ashley and Maxwell are cut from the very similar cloth. Edited January 10, 2022 by Robster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This source believes Ashley simply didn’t engage the right people on Tyneside, listening to those who knew little of the game in those early days. “He didn’t understand football and what he found out he invariably didn’t like,” they added. By the time he had got to grips with it, the die was cast and he gave up trying to be popular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Surely that titbit alone must terrify fans of Derby or any other clubs in his eyeline? Don't expect improvement to a Premier League level, don't expect him to seek out knowledge of people who know what they're doing, and if you see through it all expect him to pick up his ball and cry all the way home like a little bitch to spite you.

Dr Jinx Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I had a look on the Derby forum and they are eyes open happily accepting of him if he comes in. Madness.

mighty__mag Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Get ready for here's an interest free loan, then will come the sustainability sales pitch, basically you buy with what you generate. Sports direct signs everywhere, Derby fans initially loving it, before reality kicks in and they're drained and miserable. Same old, same old. He's driven by his own shite, retail, not sport not football. They're idiots if they welcome this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
