Having just made a 70 million profit on a club he ran into the ground he probably thinks it’s easy to make money in football , buy Derby cheap now when they are on the brink of going bust , minimal spending on players etc but keep them ticking along and sell them for a profit in a few years will be his idea.

Shown himself up to be a sad hypocrite like. Gets laughed off the politics forum these days
I remember when he PM’d Sima what he thought was my real name, poor Sima kopped a 6 month ban :D:D

This clown then denied he did it even though Sima sent me a PM to tell me. He is an absolute fanny who reports posters constantly, got me banned recently but he’ll deny it.

He is an absolute whopper who doesn’t even go to games, he is literally fucked with these new owners, goes against everything he supposedly stand for, shameful excuse for a ‘man’.
 
I don't understand the price of the club. The current preferred bidder is reportedly paying £30m.

How can it be worth £30m when the club is about to be relegated to L1, on brink of being liquidated and generally completely broken.

And now Mike offering £50m. Seems bonkers to me
Potential, football has a customer base unlike any other business. Get it right and a club like Derby will rocket in value,

As KLD should discover with us.
 
The mags were on the brink of going under when he took over. Bankrolled them a interest free loan, decent seasons in the prem, record transfer fees, got them the cult of Rafa and brought in the richest football owners in history. Yet they still shouted at his shops! 🤷‍♂️
 
Here he is, the Peterlee freak! You still grassing people up and getting them banned you sad excuse for a man?

I bet your new owners have ruined you and your left wing views, how can you pretend to support a club when the owners stand for everything you’re against?

Notice pretend to support, you are a typical non attending gob shite sitting behind the safety of your keyboard in rented accommodation.
Who’s this fanny? I’ll be there tomorrow son, in a sold out crowd.

He ran them well financially. But that’s not the only story

The fact they’ve now got who they’ve got doesn’t make him a good owner all of a sudden

Let’s not forget that he was known as Agent Ashley on here
Careful mate, you'll get accused of being a mag if you wander from the echo chamber
 
In all fairness, Derby are stuck between a rock and hard place right now so this will probably be the best thing that can happen for them.

If they don't have the delusions of grandeur like the mags have, Derby fans will probably think quite highly of him. He will end up getting them on a sound financial footing in time, get them PL football in the next few years and probably get them consistently a lower end PL team.

Yes they won't have many good cup runs and yes the squad will be small to cut costs for him and he is far from the perfect owner once he gets them sorted financially, but from the position they are right now, it will be night and day.

The main downside that no one has talked about is how will Rooney take to his ownership? I could genuinely see him leaving.
 
Maybe, more evidence he’s not a good businessman. He’s a gambler, famously bought the club with little or no due diligence. His court case, which he lost, around Keegan’s constructive dismissal shows him to be a proper nasty c*nt. Tried to pay KK off with hush money but he didn’t play ball and the truth about his regime came out. Disinterested and trying to sell for 9 years. But yes, what ah great owner. Cockney bastard
He's from Walsall, which is about as far away from being a cockney as you are from not being a morally bankrupt titbox.
 
He will run them well business wise. As long as he doesn’t make decisions to piss the fans off like handing knacker managers 8 year contracts I think he will be liked.

He spent to get that lot back up first time of asking. Dare say he will want premier league money and over time put bits in to try and get them there. Not to the extent and wastage Derby recently have like.

The way Rooney’s got them playing and fighting they might not even go down yet!
