Businesses generally do not go bust solely because of overspending. Do you really think Morris just signed players with  no idea of how he was going to pay for them? that it was promotion or bust , and in our case it ended up as bust?
No way.
Morris knew we had revenue of £30 million a year and if that didn’t cover the planned costs he knew how much money he could offer in soft loans to cover any shortfall. What blew his plans out of the water was a sudden unexpected drop of two thirds of our revenue. 

He Is someone who snitched on our amortisation policy.. which EFL turned into a big issue… far bigger than it actually is. If they didn’t like the amortisation policy they should have changed the rules , which I think they now intend to , not pursue Derby years after the event.
 
and continually makes out Mel Morris is some sort of rogue and Derby the biggest cheats of all time. 
 
that may be his message, but it’s an entirely false one that together with EFL’s dodgy briefing of the media just whips up a huge poo storm against Derby … a baying lynch mob that ultimately could bring their pitchforks and have us expelled from the League.it doesn’t exactly help the administrators trying to sell the club or reach a satisfactory solution with EFL either.
Expulsion from the league is what the likes of Mr Plop want and it seems that is what Maguire wants as well.. a big story that will help sell his books , continue to ingratiate himself with his cronies at the EFL and he will in his eyes be able to say .. I told you so.

I think it is mostly COVID that is keeping fans away not the performances which actually have been pretty decent at home.

It isn't news. We know the EFL Are corrupt. 

No the ones who did Wigan said they were only 75% chance of them surviving to the end of season. They are now out of admin but it took them 18 months. Ouch.
The same guys then said we were only 50/50 but they woudln't have known who was interested , as they are outsiders looking in.
 
 

To be fair Roos was playing well before  he was suspended and his sending off was questionable. Bring him back for Coventry.  

I'm not disagreeing with you, it was another roll of the dice. Lampard's permanent signings were poo. Maybe Morris should have told Lampard to stick with the loan signings and get someone else to do recruitment. Easy to say now.  
But it really is no good blaming Morris for everything. We have been incredibly unlucky year after year. Losing four play off ties by a single goal each time. What if QPR hadn't cheated in 2014, injuries wrecked our run in 2015, Thorne breaking his leg just before play offs in 2016, Vydra not fit for the play offs in 2018 , no fully fit strikers for the 2019 play off final except for Mason Bennett.    
If the dice had rolled fairly for us then nobody would have been blaming Morris for anything.
 
 
 

I don’t think commenting on our amortisation policy is the problem in itself. I don’t believe for a minute that the policy breaks any rules but it probably was a sign that we were being reckless, fair comment.
But that’s as far as it goes. Man City spent way way more than us , and broke the rules. So did Chelsea. Then there’s Barcelona.
how come Maguire focuses on Derby of all clubs? His tweets are clearly biased against us .
 
Derby’s administrators think our  crisis is due to COVID . They presumably have more info than Maguire.

For a few grand a year you too  could be lectured at Liverpool University in Sports business, by Kieran Maguire , and Dr Rick Parry , members of the same department. their profiles were shown in their website as shown above.
Hmm.. curioser and curioser.

No other club lost £20 million revenue due to COVID . We would not be in administration if not for that. Wigan went into administration so we are not the first and we won’t be the last.

It isn’t really debt .. it’s more negative cash  flow due to season ticket purchases being made in advance or carried over from the Lockdown period.
These are being met by soft loans , probably local benefactors I think.

The name's Morris.
Jody Morris.

No but most of it was in wages for players on long term contracts arranged by rush. 
 
but hey Mel signed the cheques , the buck does stop with him. Just not all his fault not by a long way.

Only if it’s good.
