Chris_R Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ashley wanted a team he could just keep in the PL for the minimum possible expenditure. For us, that was horrific because it was a massive step back. For Derby, it would be fantastic. Ashley's ambition has a ceiling. If he takes every club to that ceiling, it's not necessarily bad for all of them. Still an absolute cunt and a parasitic arsehole though, and he was obviously horrific for us.

He only barely managed it with us, and we're a much bigger club than Derby. It would be much, much harder to reach that ceiling with a Derby than a NUFC, and in all likelihood that ceiling would be lingering in the mid to bottom half of the championship with Derby. Let's not forget that he lucked his way into having one of the best managers of the last 20 years here and we still went down and then only just managed to stay up. His successor then had the two jammiest seasons I've ever seen, and still only just managed to stay up (much thanks to the defensive solidity) of his predecessor. Neither of those things happens at a club like Derby, so I really don't see how A****y gets them anywhere near the PL gravy train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just reading in the Times that he's bid £50m for Derby. Due to being in administration, the article goes on to state; "With a transfer embargo in place, Derby can only sign free transfers or agree low cost loans..." If he takes them over, you could replace this with; "With Mike Ashley in place, Derby can't even sign free transfers or agree low cost loans..."

They can dress it up anyway they wish but a leopard doesn’t it’s spots. They might be screwed to some degree but he’s about to start taking their soul.

wormy Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I'm sure their fans will love the first few years as he gets them back to the Championship, keeps them there and challenges for promotion to the PL with his sole goal of using them as an advertising vehicle in mind. Then he'll realise the money he's throwing down the drain with Derby being nowhere near our level of exposure and revenue (no matter how stunted by his idiocy) potential. Best of luck to their fans at that point. Edited January 8, 2022 by wormy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind 'challenging for promotion' could even just equate to hovering in/around the top six which various teams can crash at any point in that league. I just think he's dumb enough to spend a bit the first couple of years, thinking it'll do the trick, and the fans will be placated by it. I don't believe he'll actually get them promoted though, that's for sure. And when they don't he'll let them rot like he did us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
