    Not sure I would agree, although I don’t want to ‘batter’ Morris just seen him gone.
    The bigger picture is being lost here. Two years ago Mel Morris was very keen to get into the sale of the club in a deal being brokered by Samuelson. The programme shows Morris entering into some pretty detailed negotiations with Samuelson and a third party representative of an unknown Mr X. The programme, the way it was presented, seemed to suggest that all Morris would have known about Mr X was that he was Hong Kong Chinese (perhaps with a Cypriot passport ?) and with shed loads of money. Whether that is all that Morris knew about Mr X is pure speculation. He could have been being completely duped.
    What is less speculation is that there must have been a very strong whiff about Samuelson at that time. I don’t really follow other football clubs news too much, but I do know that at the time (2019) when Morris was speaking to the representatives of Mr X there were many troubling stories circulating about the financial and shareholder troubles of both Reading and Aston Villa. Anton Zingarevich had already been bombed out of Reading leaving them in a huge mess (2014). He didn’t have any of the monies he said he had when he bought the club. Tony Xia’s ownership of Aston Villa in 2018 was regular back page news for non-payment of debts, and he was bombed out in 2019. He couldn’t get his money out of China supposedly, not that it was ever proved he had any. So the two high profile deals that Samuelson was clearly very proud of involved two individuals with a lump sum of money (somebody else’s money perhaps?) but not much behind that to support their capabilities of owning and running a football club. Now for football fans we just get the tittle tattle off the back pages, but in football circles one might imagine that a lot more about Samuelson and his dealings would have been known (particularly by the EFL). 
    Morris has often been quoted as saying he wants to sell the club on to the right kind of people. I would suggest he just wants to sell and get back as much as he can. The fact that Samuelson appears to have been involved in the BZI deal as well, some 12 months later on from Mr X, and the well documented issues that were discussed on here, suggests again that the sale might have been more important than the person. I won’t bore you with my thoughts on the Erik Alonso saga. Total fantasist that bloke.
    So as a long time supporter of the Rams, I think the current situation at the Club is of huge concern, and based on the programme contents, and the information that filtered out on the subsequent failed deals with BZI and Alonso, I think I have good reason to worry about who might get their hands on our great club in the months to come.

    If that's aimed at me, then yes, so can I.  Like I say, I've (finally) grown up!  Apologies for it taking so long!
     
    Despite my initial dislike of the atmosphere in the NE Corner, I have very much come to enjoy it... prefer it in fact.  I prefer the lack of industrial language, the lack of jostling, and most of all, the fact I can see the full 90 without ever having to stand up to see.
    I most definitely prefer the non-chaotic after-whistle departure, in comparison to the often threatening nature in the SE corner (As we came out in the same corner as away fans back then, with an extremely thin blue line half-arsedly keeping us apart!)
    The very thought of me returning to my old seat (Or the South Stand equivalent today) offers me nothing but shudders!  ?
