Former Owner Evans Linked With Move For Derby
Sunday, 10th Oct 2021 12:13

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.

peewee added 09:15 - Oct 11 Guessing Evans has seen some players he can sell and asset strip the club. Yes he keeped us afloat but the damage he's done has long term effects on town with the lack of investment and his f@*King 5 point PowerPoint plans. You don't go into football on the cheap

Kerenwick blue.... Don't presume you can tell me what to do or think, you are being irrational, you have never been under a truly awful owner like the oystens at Blackpool for example, you forget Evans invested heavily until he realised it did not provide a certain reward, he is not a great owner, not a dreadful one either, if you take emotion out of it that's clear to see

ipswich134 added 11:00 - Oct 11 Mr Evans, if the news is true I hope you would like to take a look at your past failures and refrain from taking the plunge. I suggest you stay with your 5% at Ipswich and maybe get some success.

TBT added 14:23 - Oct 11 What do we credit Evans for? His investment strategy was so flawed this aspirant Premier League Club is now languishing in the third tier. He had to write off the debt (mess) that he had accumulated, he didn't have any choice. He doesn't care about ITFC, he never did and he won't care about Derby County (as a football club) either.
