Trying to be positive, I would hope this week has gone as follows - 
1. Mel makes his public offer, knowing it's not as simple as he says it is
2. Gibson responds saying it's not possible to transfer his claim and he should indemnify the club.
3. EFL tell all parties they would prefer to have the claim settled between Mel and Gibson so a preferred bidder can be named.
4. Mel and Gibson have been in discussions with their lawyers and each other to see if there is a way forward they can agree to. That's what everyone is waiting to hear.
I know that "Team Derby" met with the admins yesterday.
Really, really hope I'm right!!

This whole agenda that fans of other clubs has around DCFC fans trusting Mel Morris winds me up.
Not one person on this forum, in Pride Park, on Twitter, or wherever, has any trust in a word Mel Morris says. We spent the best part of a decade backing him in his efforts to get us promoted. He was questioned repeatedly at fan forums, Q&As and in the press as to how close to FFP we were, and whether our spending levels were sustainable.
Now at that point, as fans without sight of the inner workings of our club ownership, we have no option but to accept what he says. Is there an element of our fanbase that revelled in him sailing close to the wind? Yes. Every club has those fans who banter (ugh, horrible word) on social media.
Did we call him one of our own for delivering trips to Wembley and players we didn't expect to see here? Yes. Why wouldn't we, even knowing his idiosyncracies (too close to players for example)
Clearly, he lied. Plain and simple. To fans, managers, players, journalists, the EFL, everyone. 
So now, nobody trusts him. Quite rightly.
However, our club is on the brink of extinction. Despite people saying, "oh it will get sorted out eventually, typical Derby will get away with it". That attitude is what will see the club go under. We are fans, we have no power beyond spending money at the club and raising awareness of the threat, so if he is offering to take on the claims personally, we will obviously cling to that faint hope, whether it's realistic or not. WE ARE DESPERATE.
Should our fans be threatening Gibson? No of course not, but he is threatening the future of the club, regardless of whether that is his intention. Football is a weird, tribal community that binds people together, and turbocharges emotions. The depth of loathing now towards Gibson will not go anywhere quickly and I hope for everyone's sake, that even if the procedural concept of Morris and Gibson taking the claims personal is impossible, both of them work to remove DCFC from the dispute and allow the takeover to happen, because if they don't, the club WILL liquidate, and the likes of the EFL, Gibson, Couhig, Morris, etc will have seen nothing compared to the fury DCFC fans will have at the loss of their club. Not a threat, just a fact.

Need someone to find the footage!

It were alright tonight, alright I tell you.
Me and @DarkFruitsRam7 had a good old sing song In the car after the game, was also good to catch up with @TomBustler1884 , was a jolly good evening you know

Not a threat, just a fact.

This whole agenda that fans of other clubs has around DCFC fans trusting Mel Morris winds me up.
Not one person on this forum, in Pride Park, on Twitter, or wherever, has any trust in a word Mel Morris says. We spent the best part of a decade backing him in his efforts to get us promoted. He was questioned repeatedly at fan forums, Q&As and in the press as to how close to FFP we were, and whether our spending levels were sustainable.
Now at that point, as fans without sight of the inner workings of our club ownership, we have no option but to accept what he says. Is there an element of our fanbase that revelled in him sailing close to the wind? Yes. Every club has those fans who banter (ugh, horrible word) on social media.
Did we call him one of our own for delivering trips to Wembley and players we didn't expect to see here? Yes. Why wouldn't we, even knowing his idiosyncracies (too close to players for example)
Clearly, he lied. Plain and simple. To fans, managers, players, journalists, the EFL, everyone. 
So now, nobody trusts him. Quite rightly.
However, our club is on the brink of extinction. Despite people saying, "oh it will get sorted out eventually, typical Derby will get away with it". That attitude is what will see the club go under. We are fans, we have no power beyond spending money at the club and raising awareness of the threat, so if he is offering to take on the claims personally, we will obviously cling to that faint hope, whether it's realistic or not. WE ARE DESPERATE.
Should our fans be threatening Gibson? No of course not, but he is threatening the future of the club, regardless of whether that is his intention. Football is a weird, tribal community that binds people together, and turbocharges emotions. The depth of loathing now towards Gibson will not go anywhere quickly and I hope for everyone's sake, that even if the procedural concept of Morris and Gibson taking the claims personal is impossible, both of them work to remove DCFC from the dispute and allow the takeover to happen, because if they don't, the club WILL liquidate, and the likes of the EFL, Gibson, Couhig, Morris, etc will have seen nothing compared to the fury DCFC fans will have at the loss of their club. Not a threat, just a fact.

So Mel thinks, as do many, that he’s the saviour in this? He’s the reason that this whole mess has happened. He left the club for dead,he doesn’t deserve the adoration he’s getting tonight. 

I dont really care who wins as long as the whole sorry saga doesn't come anywhere near DCFC again.
