With all the soiled trousers over that signed letter that went out and then the NDA meeting, do we really think the fanbase can be sensible over something like this?

Is liquidation a possibility?
Was Stan Collymore right ?

Exactly. 'I may have utterly messed up the finances but if the EFL hadn't appealed the stadium sale then I might have managed to sell up before any of you found out' isn't likely to get the fans onside. 

13/14 - GSE's building finally bears fruit and we ahave a young competetive exciting team. Me goes "oh hello"
14/15 - A second go is derailed by injuries. Mel takes sole ownership. McLaren is sacked for disloyalty.
15/16 - An awful lot of Mel's money is burned on an unsuccessful attempt to get to the prem.
16/17 - Hendrick is sold against manager's wishes. Vydra and Anya come in to little effect. Peason is sacked very quickly. McLaren does a resuce job but is also sacked because ol Sankie has a charming smile.
17/18 - Tom ince and Will Huges are sold. Rowett does on a more limited budget reach the play offs. Derby fans see that rarest of phenominoms, a defense that knows what it's doing, for a season. Chairman Mel tells ol Snakie there's no money left. Before.......selling Vydra...and....
18/19 - sells himself Pride Park for substancially more than anyone previously thought it was worth. Then spends the money he paid himself on hiring Frank Lampard, loaning three very good prspects and signing some "not very good value" players for a last role of the dice.
19/20 - the need to be more rational flickers for a moment, Cocu is signed on a long term deal to bring through youth and start building towards sustainable sucess. moments before he also announces, "I've also signed Wayen Rooney on a really fancy sponsorship deal and promised him he gets to be mananger next" by the way, all the budget is in Wayne Rooney's wages. EFL "Issues" start to hover around.
20/21 - It's bad. Cocu is Sacked. It's still bad. We stay up on the last day. Thanks to a goal at Cardiff.
21/22 - into Admin.
Well, ultimatly, it's been a ride. Ultimatly, it's ended in disaster. If that were all there was to it, it'd be sad, but we'd all live with it.
BUT
This has not just been a ride.
This has been a story of ego, mismanagment, utter idiocy, poor decisions, and ultimatly, the fact that all this is a result of decisions Mel Morris has taken.
On a 1-10 scale it gets 1.
What is most rage inducing is that, with even a tiny bit of sense it couldve not worked out and ended as a 6-7 for trying and failing, it wasn't boring, but it did not need to end in disaster. Even now, as look down the barrel, it's decisions taken by Mel that have robbed us even of a chance to get something sorted.
OK 1 is too generous.
 

i think by the sounds of it my experiences there are very different!!! i got to know the local police at charles cross station on a first name basis and had their desk phone numbers saved in my phone instead of 999 by the time id left!covid pretty much ripped the money out of it so the poorer got poorer and more desperate,and as a shopkeeper you kinda got the brunt of it!

I put a football club into administration.
Just joking. 

Can't wait for We Are Derby episode 3. Should be a tasty one

Sorry to hear that. There was a 99 Flake with your name on it.

Blimey, don’t tell @plymouthram , he only lives 4 minutes walk from the ground.

The one Forest fan I've heard from tonight says we'll still finish above them ?

They should write a book or make a film about his tenure, it's been that bad.
Considering where we were when Mel came in, our posiiton now after spending some £70 million on players is truly astounding.

That doesn't sound a million miles away from the BBG, tbh.

Think promotion is looking unlikely now 

I alway love reading your posts B4. You are a true Ram black and white. Unfortunately Mel has let this great club down. That said the club will need fans like you. You are a greater asset to this club than the owners at this point. 
Keep supporting mate. The club definitely needs it right now.
 
 

plymouths a poo hole mate,home park is on the edge of the area where the hookers and the druggies hang out,and at the end of the road where the murders were a few weeks ago. probably an away day to avoid-i worked in plymouth for years and it makes chad look like kensington

Can see us falling to League Two.
This is an absolute catastrophe not least because it was entirely avoidable if the club had been managed correctly. 
Mels reign will be remembered as the worst in our long history. 

What can I say… So disappointed in the hierarchy at DCFC. 
As people have said, some of my best days following this club have been in the old 3rd tier.. Different times I know but still great away days.  There are some BIG clubs in League 2, it could be good for us fans.
We are in a mess, we’ve been in a mes before.. Hopefully we can survive and put Morris well behind us.. No more, he’s local, he’s one of our own bollx.. Means nothing, absolutely nothing.. 
Ive said before, my love for football is declining quickly. Not just because of our situation but the PL, Champions League, money oriented bull poo. It’s not about us anymore, it’s about money. I suppose that is the world nowadays but to be honest, you can keep it.. Players kiss the badge, owners show up when time are good and disappear when it gets tough.. No honesty in pro football now.. It’s all false and I hate it..
I read this forum and feel for those who are starting out, those who it still means a lot to.. Even David, who runs a great forum but still has to make a living from it.. I see the DCFC adds have gone now, I hope it’s not too much of a hit for him. B4, absolutely gutted for him. It’s not the end mate, just a new chapter.. I know you will keep the faith but this is going to hit him hard. It’s not so much the EFLs fault fella (although they have stuck the knife in), it’s Morris, end of. 
 
60 years old and been through most things with this club. I wish I could say I’m numb, I have been through most of his reign but to be honest… I’m absolutely gutted for the staff, the fans, the creditors and anyone else who truly love this poxy club..

Very gentlemanly-like conduct from our resident red dogs, which is to be applauded.
Feel free to gloat away if you feel like it though. Just know I won't be taking any bait.
I'm devastated. Too devastated to be bothered what anyone else thinks of us. Even our Nottingham neighbours

In our race to the bottom you’ve taken a massive lead.
