the thing is with Ashley, as we all know, he is a chancer and if he gets his mitts on this club he will become a cancer.

He is playing the old victim game to drum up interest in his bid.

He has NEVER had the highest bid, he STILL does not have the highest bid. He is plssed that the first preferred bidders have collapsed and

the administrators have dealt with the sale like pure armatures costing all parties involved a lot of money.

He has put 50m into a bank account for proof of funds for the sale, this has the Derby fans screaming for the club to be sold to him but its

still not enough to be the highest bid. Plus he wants the stadium incorporated in the sale for that price.

This is where Ashley sits and waits, he has the cash, its less than the other bids, he wants the stadium too, now if this new highest bidder

fails, he has the administrators by the short and curlies because the club will go into liquidation unless they accept hero Mikes offer.

He will have done he's homework on the other bidders thats for sure. If he thinks he can get the club and the stadium for significantly less

than the asking price, he will try it
