Mike Ashley is to step down from the board of Frasers Group, owner of the Sports Direct chain that the retail billionaire founded 40 years ago.

Mr Ashley had already handed over the running of the group to his son-in-law Michael Murray earlier this year.

Frasers said Mr Ashley would not be standing for re-election as a director, and would leave the board next month.

The company also announced that Mr Ashley will provide the company with £100m worth of funding.

Don't really need to be updated on his business antics any more. If he's not buying a football club he should just fuck off and stop appearing on boards like this.

Happy to be updated if he ever goes bankrupt, dies or goes to prison

Rumoured to be interested in buying Wasps, but only for the stadium, as a result he is also linked with buying Coventry City.

 

Salary caps in rugby union isn't there? He'll love that.

Mad how wrong it’s gone in the Rugby like, they’re a mainstay in the top flight and have been European champions a couple times.

He’s not really wanting to save them, but they are the owners of the stadium, so buying them gives him access to the stadium and puts him in a good position to launch a takeover bid for Coventry. He has the possibility of folding the club, and just keeping the stadium, that has been mooted about.

 

As much as I hate him and wouldn’t wish him on any other club, there is a bit of me who would like him to takeover another club just so that we can ultimately show everyone what he’s like.

Everyone bangs on about us and say he did us good, but no one ever brings up how he fucked Rangers over in the conversation and how their fans hate him as much.

The thing is if he took over Coventry and brought them back to that stadium, then unless he took them to League 2 or the National League, everyone will say that he’s done a good job.

If he took over Derby and they never got promoted under him, the excuse would be that he was limited on what he could do, and that this is Derby’s new natural level, etc.

I know what you mean, the way derby fans went on you would think we did him wrong. A shame he never got them in the end.

 

as much as I feel sorry for West Brom fans, there is something satisfying about being right. 
 

would quite like to see Ashley buy Liverpool.
