Curtains

Not great but the last bit of the article puts it into perspective .
Just another case of the media having a go at us  IMO 
 
“Meanwhile, Morris has told Sportsmail that the £60m figure quoted is based on a ‘worst case scenario’. He also makes the point that the MSD loan equates roughly to the stadium mortgage he cleared after buying the club.
And with regards the HMRC debt, Morris says many Championship clubs have had to rely on a deferral of PAYE taxes to cope with the impact of Covid-19 and how it has decimated club revenues.”

There’s something about black labs as well. This is Arlo, my sister’s dog.

So, on other threads I've introduced the fact that we are fostering an assistance puppy. 
His name is Miekle (not chosen by us) and he's a 9 week old handful. 
I just thought that I would set up a little thread to give periodic updates on his progress. 
It avoids messing up other threads and was a suggestion from @CBRammette and @Anag Ram so thank you both.
Here's a snap from playtime right now. 
 

I’m sure MM his doing his best to get the best for this Football Club.
I have spoken to him at forums and outside the ground when he has taken time to speak when he needn't have .
The guy is a human being for goodness sake 
Let’s have some balance  
Has anybody actually thought how this might be effecting him personally 
I grew up in Littleover with Mel although I didn’t personally know him .
He has  always been a Derby fan .
He has made mistakes at times but he doesn’t deserve this

Players don’t always work out .
Take Anya for one .
Thats not MM fault he has to go on Manager recommendations for players.

Right that put me in my place. 
 
Up the Rams 

Whatever our thoughts lets just wish Wayne all the best for tomorrow as his best is our best

I don’t blame MM for all of this .
Its getting ridiculous now. 
 
Support the club please 

No need to apologize mate. 
 
I am often accused of exaggerating situations and I do agree Mel has made mistakes and one was going in the dressing room at half time on one particular occasion but he has never done that since to my knowledge.
Now let’s examine the situation.
Mel hasn’t been very  well by all accounts and want to sell the football club and has looked for prospective buyers .
The last one didn’t work out but the present buyout is ongoing. 
 
Now I hate FFP with a passion and also hate the parachute payment system. 
 
Mel tried to adhere to FFP and tried in vane to get promoted to the Premier League and failed by a whisker against QPR and other playoff adventures 
He is renowned for believing in the Academy and them lads have done well out of Mel  .
We find ourselves fighting an appeal against the EFL after being cleared and also fighting relegation.
The financial situation at Derby is complicated and answers may not be easily given if there is a non disclosure agreement at the moment over the takeover.
what answers do you want from Mel Morris and Steven Pearce at the moment

Thank you mate...
NDC nothing to do with it...
We do need to stick together as these are going to be turbulent months ahead. 
I genuinely believe if everyone knew the truth then you would be shocked.

I don't think anyone is burying their head in the sand.
Everyone here is all too aware of the issues facing the club and, more immediately, the team.
Just read back through the threads on here and you will see that's it's all been discussed at great length.
Of course, you are entitled to your say but, rest assured, as Derby fans, we are aware of the current predicament.

I thought it goes 
 
Scouts and Head of Recruitment select players following research 
Manager selects the ones he feels will do the job he wants 
Head of Recruitment does the deal chasing
