Ben Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) £50 million seems far to high with all the debt, he could buy 3 Sunderlands for that. Edited January 7, 2022 by Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 There a fit and proper test down there? Surely his absentee tenure here would be disqualifying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 He just sold a club he did nothing with for a healthy £70m profit. He absolutely thinks he can install the same cast of clowns and pull a similar trick with Derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished that same fate on us many a time instead of perpetual Ashley. Still don't see it. He'd have to squeeze a club like that so much harder than he ever did us to get his money and there just isn't enough left to squeeze - even in normal circumstances - and being able to maintain their status/Ashley's current funding.

SAK Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Sports Directs Shirebrook base is a bit up the M1 so makes sense for Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, its a lot easier for an angry mob to descend on the place. Imagine the scenes if SD HQ had been Shiremoore instead of Shirebrook. Would have been settlements there.

He lucked out with us, a big stadium, a massive fan base, our title challenges under Keegan still in peoples memory and importantly in the memories of media companies and journalists so despite being shit people spoke about us which generates interest. wont get that at Derby if he thinks he’s going to get them to the PL and flip them.

Miggys First Goal Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Wasn't this rumoured a few months ago? Sure a lot of Derby fans were open to the idea of him buying them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 25 minutes ago, LV said: What does he want out of them? Surely not advertising. Maybe buying a distressed brand to ‘streamline’ then sell on? Same thing he wanted with us, I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want that baggie jeaned pound shop salesman to inflict his brand of utter misery on any other set of fans, though. I remember when this first broke and their fans were buzzing for him.

Lazarus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Am sure theyll love it at first. But in a few years time, theyll realise that Charnley doesnt really know what hes doing, that the training ground and the stadium could do with a repaint, that the finances arnt adding up and theyll be wondering if some random (probably bishop) was part of the owners test...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I sometimes sit and think if he actually enjoyed tormenting fans, his last signing for us was Santiago Munoz just because he sounded similar to the guy from the movie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 They may have totally different expectations tbh, and might not realise anything in the short term. Considering their recent plight I'm not massively surprised that they may be OK with a multi-millionaire stepping in to 'save' them. We are coming from different positions so their mileage may vary, but we all know how it ends.... Being the richest in in the world, fuck yeah!

TheGuv Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Always quite liked Derby, but if he takes them over. They have to fail. Couldn’t bear the media telling us how good an owner he was if he turned things round at Derby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzaschicken Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Surprised he would buy a football club again at least with us he was hated after a couple of seasons but with Derby he will be hated instantly because of us. Or maybe not cause of their struggles its security I suppose, for now not the worst thing for the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I posted on their forum about why he was dreadful and they should steer clear when the story first broke a while back. A couple sided with me but one guy went along the lines of we have delusions of grandeur, those usual perpetuated myths, along with the idea that I was apparently taking the piss out of them by posting on why Ashley was shite when they're in the state they're in. Was proper weird. Ah well. Edited January 7, 2022 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Feel sorry for any fans that end up with him owning their club, including those who arrogantly think we don't know what we're talking about despite the 14 years experience of what he's like. I said when he left, I wouldn't wish him on any set of fans including the mackems. At the end of the day we all love football and for anyone who loves football and their club, he's the enemy. The only good situation is one where he's not involved in football whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
