Derby County deal expected to collapse

he may be gamling that the other bidders ahead of him dont sactually have the money they claim to..
Ashley has two massive advantages.

He has proof of cash funds from the Saudi deal, I don't think he's made any major acquisitions since the sale.

He has virtually automatic 'right and proper' clearance having run NUFC correctly for a decade.

Any new chance would have two months of due diligence, etc, before they get close to a deal.

The EFL know that isn't an option.

one is a guy called appleby who is a former owner of derby..im not sayin he is any good or not,but he is a known figure to the fans and community etc
Appleby would be a safe pair of hands, he took over last time and rebuilt the club after our 12 point season in the Prem. Fans weren't too keen at times because he didn't spend much money. What he did build though was a young team that should have gone up in the Playoff final agains QPR, we lost that and they sold the club in a fantastic state to Mel Morris who just chucked money at everything.

I'd be more than happy for Appleby to come back with his frugal ways and rebuild the club

We thought that about Stewart Donald, the fucker has nearly killed us
 
He was certainly frugal. Amazing what a business card saying accountant can do to pass the EFL test.
i doubt donalds business card ever said accountant...
it mihht have referenced CEO of the multiple businesses he created though.

For all the many things he got wrong at SAFC..he shouldnt be bundled in with the Bassinis and etc of this world..

donald wasnt frugal..spending £3m on will grigg and running a business that lost all of those millions ladt year isnt frugal..
owners should be frugal...at neither of the clubs he run has Donald been frugal..has wasted fortunes
Mel Morris should be in jail. So should Jim white, always had him on talkshite bigging him up as a great owner as they’re mates.
what did mel morris do wrong-he put the cash in until the EFL stopped him...Mel Morris did exactly what huge numbers of fans on this baord want an owner to do...throw cash at the club and act as if EFL rules dont exist
Never stopped SD and CM.
SD and CM never said they were going to buy SAFC on their own..they said a consirtium, and a consortium is what we have...Sartori is wealthier than many championship owners

Probably what his accountant's said though. SD is probably more creative at shouting out of bus windows at fictional child abductors.

I suppose sometimes you have to hold your nose in business. Sartori couldn't care less about us anyway. Probably as much as he cares about SD and CM.

given how many years he has known donald and methven and other business he has tried to do with them..i think we can be confident he rates them like..
 
What other business? Did very little with us. Never even tried tbf.
well years before safc they tried a takeover of oxford...where donald was already a shareholder..sartori has mentioned in an interview donald ringing to pitch him safc..and sartori said it was a late night call "because stewart tends to work lete into the night"..indicating he has worked closely enough with him to know his work patterns..
and methven is sartoris long time pr adviser..
sartori is a director of safc and funded the club while here..

What did he do wrong :lol:

Broke numerous financial rules and committed loads of irregularities like the selling of the stadium and naming rights. The deal to bring Rooney to the club was also dodgy as fuck funded by their sponsor hence why Rooney had to wear the number 32 shirt.
