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.

But if he did buy them then they would have either stayed in League One, or yo-go’s between League One and the Championship. No way would they ever be competing to be back in the Premier League or staying in the Premier League. My point is that either the narrative would have to change to justify Derby being the club Ashley would ultimately make them be, or everyone else would have to admit that they were wrong about him. Like I said it’s all too convenient for people to not refer to his time at Rangers when defending him and his running of us. Sole ownership of another club would make that bit impossible.

The Coventry lads would be very upset if he bought them. They are not fucking daft. They have had worse experiences than us as a result of dodgy owners and they know a shyster when they see one. They have a small but really loyal core of fans who’ve followed them from the premier league and Haji scoring a belter to beat Arsenal to a 1-1 draw vs Barnet at home I had the displeasure of witnessing. They are proper football lads. Edited October 13, 2022 by Mahoneys Tache Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Absolutely staggering, but at the same time nothing surprises me anymore other than we couldn’t get more fans to help oust this cunt from our club. The NUFC ladies’ first team cost 20k per year to fund and he had them pay for it themselves? The man knows no shame whatsoever. Makes you appreciate our current owners all the more, even if some elements from the press would have you believe that we should be fighting them instead of this piece of filth at the time.
