Mike Ashley admits he regrets buying Newcastle United.
He told The Sunday Times: "Of course I regret it.
"I never said I was an expert in football clubs. I was just a fan - although a very wealthy fan. But I'm not so wealthy now. I put my money into it and I tried my best. But I accept my best was woefully short. I am genuinely sorry for everybody about what has happened."
Mike Ashley is ready to sell Newcastle United.
He told The Sunday Times: "It has been catastrophic for everybody. I've lost my money and I've made terrible decisions. Now I want to sell it as soon as I can ... advisers will be appointed shortly."
Ashley had sought a buyer last year, following supporters' angry criticism after Kevin Keegan's departure from the club.
Keith Harris, chairman of investment bank Seymour Pierce, scoured the world looking for buyers after being asked to do so by Ashley.

All they can hope for is for some Arab sheikh to suddenly come swooping in to play Football Manager with them.
And really, what are the odds of that?
