ewerk 26240 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ashley got us twice easily promoted from the Championship due to lucking into good managers at the right time. I’d love him to take a chance on them and fail spectacularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 At first I felt sorry for them, but I started seeing a ton of the type of comments where they slate us for disliking him as he sorted us financially etc. I don’t particularly wish him on them but if that’s how they feel they’re welcome to him. While the debt won’t be as pressing and scary as it is for them now anything he has to clean up doesn’t go away and they should know that. Fucking 14 years of bleeding our club yet that initial debt he ‘cleared’ was still owed to him. He’s a fucking parasite and I’m beyond relieved he’s gone from our club. I agree it would mean they avoid further punishment, which might be good but it fucking throttles any hope of them doing anything as a football club for as long as he owns them. While they’ll make the argument that they’re shit now and have been shit for a long time, I agree again but the problem comes 7 years down the line if they find themselves in the PL dreaming of kicking on and nope the only reason your club now exists is to finish 17th, forget about hoping or dreaming or enjoying football. Even when your club is crap there’s hope and trying but not with Ashley as owner and that’s the difference imo. Aye there’s Derby fans that will read this and laugh and think it’s all nice problems to have compared to where they are right now but tbh unless their club legitimately ceases to exist I think basically any other option is better than him being owner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is about dreaming big for the team you support. Ashley kills dreams and puts apathy in its place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point where people who’d gone to matches through thin and thinner turned their backs on the club and refused to walk into SJP and put a penny in his pocket. Quite an achievement to alienate people who’ve supported the club since they learnt to talk, to the extent that they’d rather go shopping with the missus on a Saturday than watch an Ashley clown show going through the motions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s like saying to a starving man ” Hey, it’s ok, I’ve got food. You can have some” Then eating it all, shitting it out in to a bowl and saying “Tuck in” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30341 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He’s probably their best option, as atp was saying. It’s not a great option but at least he actually has the money to save them in short term. Funny place Derby. A bit of a poor man’s Nottingham.

Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I don't reckon it's linked to the signs. It will be something to do with payment for the club, or trying to squeeze a few extra mil out for interest or some such shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12452 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I still really hope to see him bankrupt one day. The blokes an absolute cunt for a multitude of reasons. It would honestly be fucking hilarious if he lost this, then they countersued and rinsed him for £300m. I’ve absolutely no doubt that what ever he’s suing them for is minor/him being a greedy bastard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38701 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I hope he’s gone for “loss of earnings” from taking down his Chav Shop signs, as the only way that’ll be proven will have to examine the value of the advertising to his company, and the “cost” of said advertising. We all know the answers, just be nice to see it in legal papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
