He simply needs to sell his 5% stake in us. But i’d be surprised he takes on a mess like Derby. You need at least £70m to pay off even reduced debts and provide funding for 12 months. Then fund transfers etc on top. Seems the most anti-Evans type purchase you could find. |  | |  |

These links are nonsense. Evans and Ashley got zero joy or financial return from owning their previous clubs, and spent years trying to sell them. There's nothing in these links. |  |

Ashley paid £134M for Newcastle. Sold it for £305M. Add on all the Sky money he is accused of taking, and I would say he has walked away quids in. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I think that's a very superficial overview. He's had to sink a lot of money into the club over the years. Suspect he just about broke even. Wages quickly eat up any sky money. |  |

Looks like Marcus Evans fancies buying Derby on 10:17 - Oct 11 with 1066 views | BlueBlood90 | Can't see it. He'd have to pay £70m up front just to wipe the debt clear and then stump up to fund the first season on top of that. With that first season likely to be in League One I can't see how this would be an appealing investment to Evans. He'd be a bit of a mug to even consider going back into football when he clearly has no football knowledge and made such a pigs ear of it over a 15 year period with us. |  |

They posted profits in 8 of the last 10 years worth of accounts, totalling nearly £100m, and the accounts show his own investment to be very small (and often dwarfed by the amount Newcastle have paid to his other companies for things) |  |

I assume as they're in adminstration the debt will be gone. I still don't think there's much in the story though. |  | |  |

Given his time here you would think he wouldn't touch a football club again with a bargepole, but he might view Derby in the same light as us circa 2008 i.e. "it only needs a couple of million".... |  |

I think he's more than aware that the financial side of the Championship has moved on somewhat in recent years. I had heard he is keen to get another club but I was anticipating someone smaller than Derby, I have to admit. |  | |  |
