Pearl Ram Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 And he’s already got a black and white scarf so he ain’t got to buy one, it’s a sign I tell you. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Any port in a storm me lads. The worse case is it will be like the early GSE years with dull football and little hope of change except with sportsdirect.com branding everywhere. Best case, exactly the same but after Ashley has at least got us back in the championship. Andicis, GenBr and Carnero 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Makes me laugh Derby fans saying they don’t want Ashley, I’d have him over being Derby City FC. Beggars can’t be choosers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be like the early GSE years whatever happens if we have to stick to an EFL approved 2 year business plan. We'd be reliant on Rooney staying and pulling rabbits out of the hat to punch above that. Andicis, RadioactiveWaste and Carnero 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a few years of being sensibly run to clean up this mess we're in. Somebody coming in and throwing cash around would probably just lead to us being in further mess at present.

Tax efficient funding model for the club and way of using the advertising budget for sports direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambam Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Anyway, he’d be moving up market. Remind me, is it Derby County who have been English League Champions twice since Newcastle United have, or was it the other way round? Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Trav Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I’d like Mike Ashley. He knows the only way he’ll make any money out of this club is if it’s in the prem. he’ll create a sustainable atmosphere. Derby4Me and deanoakaram4life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
