dylanisabaddog 4,921 Posted January 7, 2022 Ashley only ever gets involved when the seller has little or no choice. However bad it seems it is probably preferable to the alternative for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,300 Posted January 7, 2022 Not really Ashley hasn’t been all bad for Newcastle, their fans were pretty lucky! He’ll be pretty well set with Derby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 3,984 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) His net spends at Newcastle were what we could only dream about. Edited January 7, 2022 by Midlands Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,207 Posted January 7, 2022 I would think a good buy for him and and a reasonable chance for Derby to become much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromage Frais 10 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Therein lies the business case on how to make money in football MA is a billionaire he has already sold one premier league club and he feels like Derby at around that level of investment can be bought > promoted and then sold for say 100/200 million or roundabouts. You can argue MA is annoying when you are a Newcastle and you think you should be signing megastars and loosing 400,000k a day like Chelsea (nuts). But for Derby I do not see the bad side, they are in Admin and some debts wont get paid and others might MA comes in, club at a low ebb does he want to be a meh loss making champs side... of course not he has the money so I expect them to be strong contenders in due course on a budget yes but they will have plans. Once up the moaning will start but he will be able to cash out and then repeat. Edited January 7, 2022 by Fromage Frais Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
