Pearl Ram Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Undisclosed sum, haha, we like a drop of that at Derby. Anyway, congratulations to Mr Morris, must be a dream come true, and thanks to the previous owners, got us out of a tricky situation and brought stability, much appreciated.

Stimacked Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I actually think this is a bad move. The club is now completely Mel's toy. The previous arrangements allowed for a safety net if one of the owners group had cash problems. Will Gatsby be back in town too?MeI is now very much in the spotlight. If our fans have a run in with him. It could turn sour quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our fans have a run in with him. It could turn sour quick. if one of the ownership group had cash flow problems, then it stops everyone else investing. Investment was proportional to share holdings. So for every 1 pound mel invested, they had to invest 3 between them.I'm guessing Mel bought our midfield then....

VulcanRam Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Not sure how to feel about this. Could be great, could be very dangerous. Suppose we won't know til we know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I didn't mind some of the business sense being used to drive decisions by GSE and Co.Whilst I appreciate MM's generosity, I'm reserving judgement as I have my doubts about ego and passion driving decisions.

Chris Mills Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Is this Mel trying to create his Legend? Couple of failed seasons where he was largely in the background. Now pumps a load of money into the club and buys out the shareholders. I'm not saying it's a bad thing and fair play to him but he will become a club legend of we go up and stay up!

Boycie Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Mel was the only fluid owner we had anyway.the rest only seemed to tip up to protect the investment, after the Paul Jewell signings frenzy they seemed to have not liked getting their fingers burned again.Im happy, and look forward to seeing who's on the board. Hopefully it will be some locals again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I am not reserving anything. Mel, you're a Top MAN. Love him to bits! Curious though do we lose Brett Wilson? He was a top man to have with us so disappointed if he's not around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 brett wilson sure did enjoy the notoriety of being one of the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
