Former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley is said to be potentially eyeing up a takeover of another football club, something which could impact Nottingham Forest.
The businessman has been out of the sport since selling Newcastle to a Saudi-led consortium back in October 2021. But he has been keen on returning to club ownership, showing an interest in other clubs.
Ashley showed a real interest in buying Forest’s East Midlands rivals Derby County when the Rams were in administration. He entered talks to buy the club before a takeover was completed by local businessman David Clowes.
