Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 The Derby way is ever so similar to The Milky Way. Both have soft centres and have a tendency to leave a nasty aftertaste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaphaRam Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, 100%. The way I see it is that Mel Morris is protecting Paul Clement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it's not about coming first place, it's about having the prettiest mane and beautiful tail plaits. We will try win a race once we are the most beautiful horse in all of Aintree, whilst our rivals of 5 years previous have had 4-5 years of Gold Cup experience and got used to competing at that level. We will be the prettiest still though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, for now. But much more of this and I won't be. I don't think he has covered himself or the club in glory over this. He is to blame as much as anyone for the overpriced, bloated squad and the managerial mess. Dare I say he needs to learn the difference between running a business and running a football club.

I voted no sorry after that statement and it goes against what I have said previously but I can't vote yes I'm afraid anymore Still wish the Rams well though.

Gritstone Ram Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I support Derby County. If MM is interfering with playing matters then no. If what he has said is the truth and I have no reason to or evidence to suggest otherwise then yes 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Since when have we "backed" owners? The only thing that matters is playing some half decent football. We back managers and players, we don't back owners. We protest about owners if it turns to **** or they are obvious crooks, but that's about it. Mel's vision is to put DCFC back in the top flight in a way that is sustainable in the long term. Its not going to happen overnight and there will be other hiccups along the way, but if it works, Mel will be a hero. The time to judge Mel is around 2020. If he continues to fund the club and we aren't safely ensconced in mid table premiership luxury. playing superb football, then put up another poll......

Alph Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Don't want him gone. Not the same as supporting everything he does. His heart is in the right place. The strategy he laid out is perfect imo. The way we have done things.... not a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, but only because that is my default position until proven otherwise. There's the sensationalist narrative of the media which have exaggerated true events to paint a picture of a Maverick owner. But there are bits and pieces that I don't like at all. I would really, REALLY have loved an apology from Morris over the Reading dressing room incident. Maybe a better or fuller explanation of the context would have sufficed. But what I was looking for wasn't there - a guarantee it wouldn't happen again. It's vital that he sees quickly why that's such an important issue. It also seems a tad...careless...to unquestionably give money to Clement when he seems to be straying from your plan. Then again, it does show that the football people have much more autonomy than some would have you believe. He's prepared to pay up if the football people tell him they need something. I also very strongly believe in his vision. We are completely on the same hymn sheet there. The method of doing it may be controversial, but entertaining football and going up and staying up, and making a mark is what I want and I want it to last. Going up this season was a very real reality under Clement. But the rest of it...? I wouldn't blame anyone for coming down harshly either side, because there's a lot of confusing information out there, but the stakes are high so people will form strong opinions quickly. I'm reserving judgement for a while longer. Colour me concerned, but on side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you were right all along m8 Cant help but feel he needs to take more of a back seat when it comes to playing matters . Dont mind the slow build up play though but some fans get too impatient and start ranting at the players . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, but finding it all a bit weird. There are things to like - He's fronted up and given the interviews. He's not afraid of decisions. What Mel's said does put into context Carlo tweeting "the club have no ambition" and so on. Careful building is not a bad thing. But having "metrics" on subjective areas like style and flair? Points not a good measure - I think they are hugely important. Yes, not everything, not the only thing, but err, pretty high up there. Things like the McClaren good times don't get brought with money. They get brought and paid for through trust, endeavour, bonding and the knack of being in the right place at the right time. It was special because times like that don't come along through a good budget alone or else every rich owner would being enjoying them. I'm in the camp that believes in him and what he wants to do, but he is learning how to be the custodian of DCFC which is very different to the champion businessman. Perhaps the Fulham team selection was two fingers from PC, we'll never know. However, what's done is done. Seeing something from the likes of Johnson, Martin, Ince etc on the weekend will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
