Mike Ashley reportedly remains 'very interested' in completing a takeover of Nottingham Forest's arch-rivals Derby County, despite shock claims of 'no contact' with the administrators in over two months.
The former Newcastle United owner has been linked with a takeover of the Rams on and off in the aftermath of them entering administration and after selling the North East club last October after 14 years in charge. Derby have now been in administration for over six months.
It was reported yesterday that just two parties remained in talks with the club's administrators, Quantuma. And, per these claims, including quotes from Member of Parliament for North West Leicestershire Andrew Bridgen, Ashley is no longer engaged in talks.
