Maybe it means buying them for like a tenner and taking on £50m worth of their debt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Buy a club for pennies that already has a trimmed wage bill. Free advertisement. Hopefully one day make the club self funding. Sell for huge profit. Mike Ashley minus a relegation or two showed its possible to not put a penny into a football club and for it generate money and increase in value all whilst giving you and your other shit business a huge profile and advertisement. It's shit for a supporter but not for MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he spend much at Derby but he will definitely make them a championship team again if they get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Mike will be perfect for Derby at the moment - stabilise, get promoted, try and sell for £150m once in Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I believe or thought everything Newcastle have spent, at least in recent years was what the club generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lack of ambition yes but they’ve been sustainable, and have out spent a few clubs over the years. Man utd are the same complaining about a lack of investment under the Glazers despite spending near a billion on transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Also have had to let go of Jagielka, who has been one of their best players this season (so I read, I haven't actually watched any of their games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he’s off to Stoke, doing well for a 39 year old who’s legs seemed to have gone almost 10 years ago!

icouldtelltheworld Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Another win today and just 8 points from safety (have played one or two games more than a few of the other teams down there though.) I really think Rooney is going to keep them up at this stage, and if he does then frankly it's the most impressive job of any manager in the entire football league this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, long way to go still but after two points deductions to be even with a shout of staying up is simply amazing. They would be on 35 points I think putting them in about 11th I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Points deductions and transfer embargoes, they seem absolutely desperate to relegate them. Rooney is doing a fantastic job, be incredible if he some how keeps them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The likes of Jason Knight will surely be sold before the end of January too so it will be hard to keep up this form. Rooney has impressed but I'd be willing to guess Rosenior is a top coach too, he always seemed a very astute pundit when he did lower league stuff on Sky.

useless Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I don't actually think Rooney would leave Derby, he's stuck with them through a lot and is pretty much hero worshipped by their fans, not just for their good results considering the circumstances, but for the way he's handled all the off the field issues they're having as well. I think he'll want to stay and as tough as a task at it is, try and keep them in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at their forum a few weeks ago and they seem fairly convinced that he's on a fair wack, which is being covered by 32Red rather than by the club. Nonetheless he's done fantastic job thus far, at this stage it's basically the perfect first job - keep them up and he's a miracle worker, get relegated and he can blame it on the chaos at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is managed by the administrators and to get a payoff to get an expensive wage off the payroll is like a blowjob to an administrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
