I think there is a need for some balance here. I do agree that Mel is the villain - he  put us into administration when he had previously vowed to continue financing us until he could sell the club, and he left us with a lot of debt. If the information we are given is correct, he is also not asking for repayment of £135,000,000 of loans to the club and he has sold the ground for £23,000,000 ,although it was valued at £81,000,000, which will be used to pay off his debt to MSD. He was naive and got out of his depth in trying to get us to the promised land but for you to say that he is “Truly one of the most repugnant human beings to ever walk this planet” is ridiculously over the top. I hope I never come before you in a court of law.

Whilst I'm certainly not trying to justify anything Mel Morris did, I doubt he'd make the top million, if there was a table of "most repugnant human beings to ever walk this planet". 

The EFL themselves had stated the 31st. Check here.

Worked at the DET for over 16years, unfortunately when the DMGT group sold it on to please shareholders, it became a pretty bleak place. Now the website is so crowded with cr@p that you struggle to find anything worth reading.
In my time at the DET, Steve was always very respectful to "those" that worked on the other side of the door. A very decent bloke and I think he has probably just had enough of them wanting him pushing out regurgitated junk every few hours to drive a few more clicks onto the site.
Always had a well rounded opinion of football.
Sorry to see him go, but some of the flak he has been taking from people at times must be part of his decision.

Ed Dawes said on Radio Derby this evening that he has spoken with the prospective stadium bidder. He wouldn’t , not surprisingly, reveal who it is.

He's been active on social media for some time and overall it's refreshing that he communicates honestly to us - it's something we've had a lack of since this debacle began.  I think he's also a great believer in free speech, so allows it.  What galls though is that a minority of our so-called fans then feel they need to show their appreciation of what he's doing for us by posting defamatory and derogatory remarks.  I get it's been a horrible time but jeez, it's embarrassing to think of myself as being part of this same fanbase when you see things like this. 
If they are on this forum they really ought to be ashamed of themselves and go and support someone else. They're certainly not representative of what 99.9% of us stand for.  And if they're not on this forum....well, they should still be ashamed of themselves.
 

Sorry, this tickled me
 

Crikey, I don’t think MA would stoop that low.  But, if it falls though with CK I can see him giving MM the full amount for PP and as low as he thinks he can get away with for the club, which will mean -15 points next season.

If CK does pull out for whatever reason why would MA buy the club in its current position. Wait until it is liquidated,that way he doesn't have to pay any contracts up (Rooney and all the coaching staff etc.)and the players still in contract get paid by the EFL and are able to join other teams,i think transfer fees are still involved but the money raised remains with the EFL and goes to paying football creditors and the administrators. He then buys the ground from MM,if that is his intention. He then applies to the FA for a phoenix club to be allowed to join the pyramid at whatever level,if that happens there certainly won't be a phoenix club in place to start next season.

Disappointing day to add to a long list of disappointing days but just dared to look at twitter after avoiding all day. How do fans think the messages they are copying CK into are going to do anything to help matters? Its not just one or two. Then they'll moan when he thinks **** you then and is off. 

I am sure there are plenty on here wishing you were a shrinking violet.

A bloke who doesn't know how to run a football club brings in an experienced chief executive to keep on top of the day to day operations. And supporters keep whinging.
Because clearly the idea of the owner calling the shots on all footballing decisions worked well for the club..... ?

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t the exclusivity for CK expire at midnight tomorrow? I can’t see the administrators setting that deadline unless relevant people are available to be involved tomorrow.

After 37 years service, Steve Nicholson finishes his reporting of Derby. No matter what you think of his articles now during the click bait world of the Derby Live website, he's been an absolutely outstanding linchpin to Derby media over the years. Before the social media world he, along with RD, were the number one source for all things Derby. I wish Steve all the best with whatever he does now, wherever it's retirement or somewhere new without the pressures of clickbait and online adverts. Thank you for all your hard work over 37 years Steve!
