Former Owner Evans Linked With Move For Derby - Ipswich Town News
Former Town owner Marcus Evans is reportedly interested in taking over currently-in-administration Derby County.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Evans has "shown a firm interest” in the Rams, while Burton chief executive Jez Moxey is similarly said to be considering an approach.
Ex-Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is also claimed to be looking at a move for the Championship club.
Evans sold his 87.5 per cent stake in Town to Gamechanger 20 Ltd in April for around £40 million, although he retains a five per cent interest in the incoming group.
TWTD sources have previously indicated that having left Town after 14 years, Evans is keen to take on the ownership of another club.
It’s reported that Derby can be purchased and brought out of administration for £25 million.
Evans and his Town management team are understood to have enjoyed a close relationship with Rams owner Mel Morris.
