BoroWill got a reaction from Indy in The Administration Thread
I don't expect any love from your fans for him, of course. I completely understand why you'd have a lot of anger to him.
The groups you mention disliking him have all come about from him pursuing their wrongdoings, or in the case of United, blind support for someone who used to play for them. Had you asked United, Derby or Sheff Wed fans in 2015 I doubt any would have ill feelings towards him, and I'd wager his name would come up quite a lot if asked about the best owners in football at that point. Certainly all the Liverpool fans I know have no recollection of the Ziege case and hold no ill will against Boro or Gibson, but I can't speak for all of them.
How could we complain about something that it is only possible to find out about, at least as a member of the public, retrospectively?
I don't think there is any form of siege mentality to be completely honest with you, the only people I have seen annoyed at us or Gibson personally is Derby fans and Derbyshire MP's.
Mel should've probably dealt with them then as he has now, if he wanted to sell the club. Given how frivolous and without precedent they supposedly were it should've been no more than a speed bump for you to negotiate when you weren't in administration.

Almost universally regarded as one of the best owners in the game, but I'm sure he will be devastated to hear that DCFCFans have decided he is a stain on football.

FWIW reporters on our side are reporting as if it is a monetary settlement from Morris to Gibson, not an agreement of indemnity or anything of the like. We'll probably never know for sure.
