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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited October 13, 2022 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 League One aint Derby's natural level like, not having that. I think him buying Derby would be interesting, given how fucked they've been financially. He'd get away with a lot as long as he brought them back to somewhat breaking even.

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.
