Tbh I’m not sure why everyone keeps saying protest - Mel has made it clear he’s trying to leave and has been for two years. I’d get a protest if we had a Chairman who wasn’t  budging but he’s clearly trying to get out - so what will a protest actually achieve? 

I listened to Radio Derby Sportscene at 6pm tonight - very disappointing. Jim Wheeler’s phone line dropped and, while efforts were made to reconnect, Simon Long ( podcast writer), who didn’t go to last night’s meeting, launched into a rant which told us nothing new. Jim Wheeler then came back on the line but couldn’t get a word in due to Simon Long’s rant, which was a pity because I sensed that JW had a more positive take , having been at the meeting. JW managed to say a little more before Ed Dawes wrapped up the discussion with half the programme left. Pretty much a waste of time as I was hoping for a bit more news on how the meeting went.

Could someone post a link please to the latest Mel Morris interview.

It’s ridiculous, how to alienate a majority fan base is 3 easy steps 

There are, unfortunately, enough people out there who see places like this forum as their 'right' and don't give any thought to fact that it takes time, effort and money to run - I can pretty much guarantee none of them have ever offered to help run this place or offered to contribute financially to it - Yet they're happy to have a pop at the people who do
I think they're the same people who complain about Morris running the club into the ground and when asked what their solution would be state "well that's not for me to work out - They should work that out shouldn't they?"
Is the club in a mess at the moment? Yes
Do I think the work David puts in to keep this place running FOR US is worthy of respect and some basic politeness? Yes 
Is the mess at the club the fault of anyone on this board? No (well, probably not - We're all mostly anonymous) 

I just cannot believe that a meeting took place for 4 hours, and the highlights seem to be that there are no incomings or outgoings, Mel wishes we used more academy players and that there are interested buyers. 
I could have told everyone that without needing 3 hours and 59 minutes more and wasting people's time and money to get to the meeting. 
I'd have also done a 45 second interview with Radio Derby so not as to subject normal fans to abuse online. 
Then made anyone with a supporters number sign a NDA. And their families. 
What the duck did they do for 4 hours. Talk about Nick's massive flag? Rooney and his new mates? 
In fact I should probably start my first ever thread:
Things you can discuss with strangers that takes 4 hours. 

I would personally like to thank you for accepting the invitation (on our behalf) and taking the time to travel to PP today to attend this evenings meeting.
We all look forward to reading the notes when you get round to posting them on here.
 
The fact you are being subjected to abuse by keyboard warriors is astounding and sadly a sign of the times that we are living in. However, please consider that the ignorant, vile and noisy minority do not speak for me and the vast majority on here either.
COYR ? ??????
 

FFS. Have you not seen the message from @David saying he'll type something up in the morning?
Rather than this being typical of the poo show that is DCFC at the moment, your post is typical of those that feel the need to have a pop rather than wait to see what is shared. I suggest you be patient, go to bed and then respond appropriately when David has had a chance to share what he can.

I read it as a sign of the breakdown in modern literacy levels. The question is a bit awkward to read, the answer completely unclear and they both. lack. the ability to, punctuate.

If you have the internet you can get Radio Derby all day everyday, except for the actual game when contractual reasons prevent. The BBC Sounds app and a wireless  Bluetooth speaker does it for me.

Don’t forget Colin Todd - what a brilliant player.

As you must have seen, there is some anger towards to the EFL, but the more vocal anger is aimed at Mel and Pearce.
Now if you go right back to the start, why did we spend so much money it was to compete with the teams at the top that were receiving the anti competitive parachute payments. 
Where did our relationship with the EFL go wrong? Mel trying to get them to understand the value of their product when negotiating with Sky for the TV deals. Something which would have helped all EFL clubs.
I’m not saying no mistakes have been made, it’s not all the EFL’s fault but all intentions were made with improving the  EFL and ambition to be in the Premier League.
The reason I’m not jumping on the hate the club bandwagon is simple, I was happy at the time, thought it was great fighting for promotion, loved having Lampard here, Mount, Wilson, Tomori and for me, aside from the Jim Smith era this has been the best longest periods where I’ve loved watching us play.  
Hindsight, yeah let’s not sign Butterfield, Johnson, Anya etc. Let’s not employ Nigel Pearson and Paul Clement but here we are, no time for tears, we need to dust ourselves down and rebuild to go again. 
It will happen, not overnight but it will happen.

Can't the mods do something about these jokers doing god awful puns derailing topics constantly?

Yes and several of Mel’s decision have in hindsight been poor but he came within a whisker of the promised land with the deck against him. Many others would have made worse decisions 

Yes. Covid has prevented him selling the club and he keeps writing the cheques. If we had an owner who was not a ram we’d likely be in administration
