I don’t understand what Ashley wants out of owning Derby.

 

Is he hoping to sell it on for a profit sometime? Surely it’s not for advertising his tat like we were. They just won’t get the exposure like we did.

 

I don’t get it.

If he can get them to the premier league for cheap the free advertising is obviously worth It to him.

I just can’t see them getting to the PL under his financial constraints. 
 

Especially when owld Pards rocks up there as their manager once Rooney inevitably leaves.

Remember, whenever we were in the championship we had the biggest budget. We had a champions league winning manager in the championship.

£50m and he’d have them challenging for Championship promotion and then he’ll make that back within a year. Become a Norwich/Fulham and he’ll be laughing.

We’re a much bigger club and had PL parachute payments which helped. Derby don’t have any of that. 
 

We’ll see I guess.

Derby is probably perfect for him. Given where they are, they might be more accepting of that. He’s not taking over a mid-table a Premier League club with commercial deals not far behind Spurs & Arsenal to then become a club happy just to survive, he’s taking over one on its knees.

I don't know the full picture, but if there is any possibility of any other owner coming in the fans should be trying their hardest to make sure Ashley gets nowhere near their club like. It's pure delusion if they think they'll be anything other than miserable under him and once he's there he's only leaving on his own terms. I (and many others) literally stopped watching football because of him [emoji38]

I think its just a deal for him, he can buy them for peanuts, pay the creditors 15p in the pound and look to double or triple his investment in a few years, or just use his Newcastle model and just keep them ticking along and use it as his personal piggy bank.

Trouble is he’s not making money in the Championship or League One, and he’s not going to invest well enough to get them to the Premier League.

Back in the olden days, there were a variety of match-ups for the Charity Shield (and predecessors) before it settled on the League Champion v FA Cup winner format we all know and love.

 

If the game was instead a match between a Premier League North v Premier League South all-star type affair, who would you have in your teams/squads? 

 

For the purpose of this, based on the season just gone, this is how North/South would be defined:

 

North

Aston Villa
Burnley 
Everton 
Leeds United
Leicester City
Liverpool
Manchester City
Manchester United
Newcastle United 
Wolverhampton Wanderers

 

South 

Arsenal 
Brentford
Brighton and Hove Albion
Chelsea
Crystal Palace 
Norwich City
Southampton
Tottenham Hotspur
Watford
West Ham United

 

What starting elevens would you have and maybe, say, five subs?

 

No restrictions on the amount of players you can have from a single team.
