    Just thinking about this. Assuming you are Wogie ITK and it's true. Who paid the fees to him in the first place? The BBC...who are funded largely from the license fee that we all (ahem..most of us) pay. 
    The whole thing is just weird the more you think about it.
    "We've created a society where there are children in need, despite that fact that we could easily eradicate child poverty were there the will to do so - but instead we're organising a special TV show where celebrities will entertain you in return for you donating money to the cause"

    Most excellent advice. In other news, I'll not be self-castrating with a rusty spoon, using the microwave to dry the cat, or going deep-sea fishing without a boat.

    Whether we did, or whether we didn't, is actually irrelevant. What we did do (or rather what he did do) was run a club beyond it's means, write cheques we literally couldn't cash and own the club with a level of irresponsibility that will ultimately mean that many suppliers, employees and fans are financially impacted by it.
    Stop this drivel about points, amortisation and who was wrong done to and start looking at the fact we are in administration and many other local suppliers will suffer as a result.

    Some might say the EFL did what was expected of them - if Mel had been left to carry on without being challenged by bodies like the EFL the who knows what sort of a glorious mess he might have put us in. -21 points is the least of our worries given where Mel has left the club financially and is so much less than could have happened if he had kept on making the 'Las Vegas' bets, aligned with his belief he could dance his way out of this with smart accounting, he got in the mode of undertaking.

    Before I start, I absolutely admire anyone who does anything - however wacky - to raise money for the wonderful causes that Children In Need supports.
    But, and it's a huge but, I find it skin crawlingly distasteful that celebrities come on television and ask us all to give cash because our society isn't able to support those in need. Then, at the end of the night, we somehow find it a thing of wonder that we have extracted millions of pounds from the British public to fund wonderful initiatives that we otherwise felt fell outside our fiscal and social responsibility.
    It's just wrong, and we all (including me) fall for it every year because we also know that if we didn't fund these charities then they wouldn't get funded at all.

    He completed purchase in Sep 2015, the season before we rolled out of the play off places after a 3-0 home loss to Reading (sorry to remind you) on the last day of the season. But hey, play offs, a doddle, waltz them every time.

    Bad guy? He put a club that was one game away from the play offs into administration within six years. Too right he was a bad guy, too right he ran the club poorly. A damn site more poorly than all those small business run their own companies, even though they now won't get paid from DCFC thanks to Mel's ramshackle business manner.

    There's only one person to blame for all of this, one..
    He's lied to us, conned us and left us high and dry.
    The EFL are applying rules that are in place for every single club. 
    We've lost more than we should. 
    Morris tried to flount the rules, failed and left us.
    Putting us in administration was the final nail.
    But if you wanna sing F the EFL for applying punishments to us for breaking rules that we knew were there and knew what the punishment would be then go ahead.
