    We are trying to sign players.
    We are trying to solve the issues with EFL.
    We are trying to get taken over. 
    Not a great deal we fans can do to aid these issues being resolved.
    Let us get behind the team and enjoy the football as much as we can.

    Another perspective and some mitigating factors (in no particular order):
    COVID19 Backed his managers Cancer treatment  Blaggers trying to takeover the club  Selling academy players not necessarily his choice (i.e. they can go if they want to via tribunal) Sam Rush I'm not saying he hasn't made mistakes but my take on it is he showed ambition but due to a number of factors, it clearly didn't work. I think it's harsh to be say everything he's done is wrong. It's not like he tried to rob the club as previous owners have. He took a shot... he missed. If we had Clough here playing durge-ball you'd all be moaning about the lack of ambition probably.

    That's a joke is it ? The man who sacked people on a regular basis would have cared if it went down well or not ?

    Mel had been solid with his financial support and he is a fan - his big error was in trusting Sam Rush with the check book.  Had he brought in the Brentford CEO instead of Sam Rush we would have been promoted by now.

    I'd sooner have penury under Mel having turned the cash taps off than chance our fate with these pathetic timewasters.
    If they wanted the club, had the means to buy it, and the intention to take it forward, they would have done by early January.
    If any of those three elements are lacking, they'll do unspeakable harm if they do blag their way into ownership.
    By the way...I've seen a few having a go at Mel. Those people have it all wrong. Tragically wrong. Mel is up there with LP as the best owner we've had in my lifetime. Just needed a dash of luck, is all.

    Mel’s biggest mistake was trusting in Mr Rush as our scouting department was limited to Mrs Ince and our signing pool was restricted largely to Wasserman clients.  Local, heart in the right place, if he feels it’s a good deal for Derby that’s good enough.

    Had Mel had the right people calling the shots when he took over I think we would be premier league by now. However when you look at the mess rich absentee owners have got so many clubs in ( Hello Hull Tigers) to have a wealthy local owner who is a fan has been great for the club. Would it be great  to have one of the richest people in the planet fund success - yeah - competing with the best in the world would be fun. Watching Louie Sibley out hustle Messi, sure, and Derby challenge in the Champions League. Oh wait, Steve Gibson’s EFL would never let it happen. I’m happy  with Mel anyway.

    Is it only me who feels really sad about this? I know he shouldn’t have got drunk, got in the car etc, but what an awful way for his time at Derby to end ?
