Mike Ashley preparing to buy Derby
For £50 million. According to Sky Sports.

I hope any purchase includes paying HMRC the £29m they're owed.
Good luck to him.

I'll always say this when a takeover comes up, we are so criminally underrated as a possibly massive project.

I imagine Vinny wants a fair bit of cash

Probably far more than what we are realistically worth I would think.

The potential is there, but the debt Tan has run up outweighs that. I doubt you could buy Cardiff City for $50M.
Re: Mike Ashley preparing to buy Derby
At some point, he will sell up and walk away. He's not getting any younger, and unfortunately, I can't see any of his heirs waiting in the wings to step in, when the time comes. I guess the Sala case (and others) are an issue at the moment, but he'll sell when he's ready. Within the next five years, I reckon.

You could as the new owner of a company will inherit the debt.

I still believe we will only be sold to asia based consortium in the future.
