    PistoldPete got a reaction from Taribo in Petition to strip Melvyn of his CBE   
    There exists people who are deeply embarrassed by the existence of the petition. Not only is it petty and misguided , it can’t even get consistently right what the honour is .., a Cbe or an mbe? Or what the honour was for? Business and charity I believe. So if we strip him of his award for business does he get to keep it for charity anyway?
    seriously ridiculous and I say the fact it is openly being promoted and defended on this forum is almost as bad.

    Well exactly . And his services to many businesses too. 
     
    His “business “ at Derby was not a success. But it was loss making when he took over. It’s not as if he was a Philip green taking out  millions in dividends . Actually the opposite. He poured lots of money into The club. Spent it very badly it’s true but it was all his money until COVID and Efl wrecked everything.
    sone people need to give their heads a big wobble.

    Rams fan Andy Mitchell is fundraising for St John's Ambulance to see if he/we can raise the £8,000 that Mel left them hanging for. Going well so far but if anyone can help here is the link:-

    Let’s not forget that he was awarded the CBE for his contribution to business and charity.
    His contribution to charitable causes includes buying a £1.2m robotic surgeon for the Royal Derby Hospital.
    He also supported the Colin Bloomfield Melanoma Appeal, set up in memory of the BBC Radio Derby broadcaster who died from skin cancer in 2015.

    Subsequent posters have said they have signed it indicating they agree that Mel Morris has done something wrong sufficient for an honour to be removed.
    The only thing that Derby county has been found guilty of by any independent body is a breach of an accounting standard . 
    As Mel Morris is not an accountant I would suggest even that breach is not directly his fault.
    on what possible grounds can any reasonable person allege there is currently any evidence for the honours committee to remove an honour? 

    such a penalty is normally reserved for convicted criminal  offenders .. and usually quite serious criminal offences too.
    I think it is a fair challenge for the poster to ask how is this thread allowed since it is fairly obviously a personal attack by any reasonable interpreatation.

    Yes ther are a few who havent looked too shabby. Dylan Williams, Louis Watson and Jack Stretton. Not getting gametime maybe Rooney is working on them, but hopefully we will be competitive team even if we do lose some players before next season.
    Then there is the enigma of louis Sibley. We know he has talent but can Rooney bring him on?

    Plus you have to factor in we have played quite a few games so far without our best player (in any games so far) , without our second best player (Jason Knight) and without our leading scorer from last year. Plus we have crop of promising young players who may well kick on. Look at Liam Thompson for one.
    We have shown we can beat Bournemouth, Stoke and draw with WBA. Anything is possible.

    PistoldPete got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.   
    Actually I don't think EFL are entitled to insist on straight line amortisation. There is nothing in their rules that allows then to do that.
    But really i wouldnt give a figgy which method the EFL insisted on. If they had insisted on straight line in 2016 then fair enough. But then letting us adopt something else and then charging us four years later for using a different one, and then penalising us again for overspending as a result, well that is just ridiculous in my view.
