I hope he wouldn’t mind me saying this, but he did tell me the reason when I was standing with him at (I think) Plymouth away.
He said he didn’t like pink because it’s a “girl’s colour”, but he didn’t want to say it publicly out of fear of offending @angieram!

Not necessarily true.
 
 
 
 
 
We would go 5th if we won by one goal more than Barnsley won. 😉

Conversely then they must give you a 25% chance of being back in the Championship. 
Given that he's not spent a penny on players in the last 2 seasons, I can see why Clowes in not panicking like some sections of the fanbase.

You do realise we've lost 3 games in the last 3 months and will be in the play off places if we win our game in hand?
Why would you expect the Chairman to be showing concern at this?

I don’t know but I very much doubt it. I can’t imagine any agreement with HMRC included a condition that if we returned to the Championship within a certain timescale we’d have to pay more. I really can’t see the taxman wanting to get involved with such things. Our points deduction, and subsequent relegation, wasn’t a requirement of the creditors agreement.
With regard to how DC is feeling about our recent form (which has of course improved recently), how do we know if he’s concerned or not? Maybe he still believes that PW as head coach represents the best chance of us being promoted within a reasonable period of time. A period of time that may or may not align with what we, as supporters, want.

No. 

Maybe DC decided to ignore any fan vitriol aimed at SP and recognises, despite everything that has gone on in the past, that SP has something to offer the club. That seems like the most likely scenario to me given DC is an experienced businessman and will know a lot more about what’s happened over the last few years than us mere supporters.
Perhaps Clowes has been truthful when he says Mel has no involvement in the running of the club and these comments by Maguire (if they’re even accurate) simply suggest that someone on the board is still in contact with Mel and just lets him know what’s going on. 🤷🏻‍♂️
I’m not remotely concerned at the moment.

We may not have all agreed with his views all of the time (I could never get my head around his hatred of pink. Red yes, that was obvious, but why pink? 😀) but there is no doubt that he was a true legend. The most passionate Derby fan, by some distance, that I have ever come across.
My big regret is that I never got to meet him face to face especially to thank him for the personal support he offered me.
Anyway, if it's any comfort, I guess you can tell that he was much loved and admired by, dare I say, all members of this forum.
Take care.

Oh my goodness, what a response!
Hello everyone, I’m Claire, Daniel’s (B4) sister. I am overwhelmed by your kind words, support, and the memories you have shared.  Thank you so much for the kindness and love you have all shown to Daniel over the years. My parents are working their way through all of the posts and will offer their own thanks in due course.
I wish I knew about the scraves, flanges and ballions before now. I wouldn’t have let Daniel live that down at home. This made my husband and I laugh this morning.
I will be wearing Daniel’s shirt and keeping his seat warm at the Bristol match. Really looking forward to hearing a big cheer and round of applause in the 38th minute, a goal at the time would be perfect!  Do please continue to share the picture with details of the applause. Let’s raise the roof for Daniel!!!
Thank you all again ❤️

"he has no contract with #DCFC & no involvement with Morris" - this certainly has all the hallmarks of a Kieran Maguire story...

This has Craig Forsyth written all over it. Typical behaviour from the self-proclaimed "nastiest man in football".
In other news, strange timing on this revelation, after we finally seem to be making some on-field progress.

They’ll be no smoke without fire unfortunately and heard about this a while ago, but Mel took up a job as a Health and Safety Executive and keeps sticking his ore in

😲 hope you're not suggesting that football finance is no different to any other finance and all he is actually doing is interpreting sets of accounts, whilst fooling people into believing he actually has some superior sort of knowledge on them 😲

Just those two words mean you can move on and forget about this. No idea why he feels the need to stick his nose in to this again1

There are several other senior employees still at the club that Morris employed. 

Do you know what, after hearing the news of B4 over the weekend, my attitude to a lot of things will change, especially DCFC. 
Walking away from the ground on Saturday after the game (before hearing about B4 passing), i felt more positive about the team.
I'll certainly keep that positivity going now because nothing would give us all more pleasure than to see Derby promoted in memory of Daniel.
