    Mike Ashley Interested In Buying

    .....Derby County.

    Despite what Toon fans say about Ashley the fact is that for certain clubs he would be a very useful owner.

    He wipes away the debt at a stroke and makes a club stand on its own two feet.

    Fans get a r s e y because he doesn’t pile vast amounts of his own cash into player purchases but it’s hard to argue against the business side of his tenure at Newcastle.

    I’d take him over Lai at the drop of a hat.

    Foreign ownership should be banned, so yes I would take him over Lai or a murderous regime!

    Lao is selling up no question. Big pressure been applied by CP in China to reduce foreign investment and quick.
    Some enormous giant property companies are starting to collapse with massive repercussions for the world. I think he has already got a pre sale agreement with third party...but he has to be willing to take a big loss on original investment or face total wipe out..
    He is shrewd enough to try get some money back....

    Lai is more “Shrew” than “Shrewd” .
