But at least she will focus on getting to the end and finishing the task off rather than leaving it half finished to do something else ?

Ffs Erik, not again!

Mother of God, there’s more acronyms than AC12 to decipher..

You are blaming the wrong bloke, there's only one person to blame here and it isn't steve nobson 

They are correct. If you come on here and just bash Mel, you are unlikely to get anywhere.
If you come on here and make robust, evidence-based criticism of Mel, you are likely to receive a mixture of agreement, disagreement and much inbetween.
This isn't twitter or facebook. Thank god.

Seriously where is all this talk of a points deduction come from?
Isnt the only thing being levelled at the club that they did not use the correct wording to explain the accounting policy used for amortisation?

Already looking forward to a weekend in either Blackpool Sunderland Lincoln or Oxford (unless they play midweek)

If you ever want to know how much of a charlatan Kieran Maguire is, take this nugget from the Telegraph just now:- "If you go to Companies House, No Limits Sports Limited consists of a company which has £2 in its bank account, which isn’t a great start when you’re looking to fund the acquisition" That's the statement of capital not the 'bank account'. My company's is £100, (many are similar, some £1,000), it doesn't correlate to my bank account. Anyone worth their salt knows this.
For the record, he's a Brighton fan who has indeed been bitter about DCFC since we smashed them in the play offs, just saying. He teaches accountancy by the way....

I feel quote confident in criticizing Mel and the regime, I do not feel in the minority at all.   Defensive isn't especially how I would describe myself quite the opposite really
The fact that most of us on here seem more worldly wise than others elsewhere means that we probably have a greater understanding as to how businesses work.  You have been called out by @IslandExileto articulate exactly how we should go about getting answers and what are the questions that should be asked.  I suggest you start with that and then you may attract a more appreciative audience

What a load of rubbish

I was present for the first 2 I think supporters charter meetings as the idea was being setup, but through ill health and distance I never attended future meetings. 
The minutes of the meetings will confirm this. 
I surveyed the forum for questions to put forward and posted the meeting minutes once they were provided.
As for my opinion, it’s been a difficult season both on and off the pitch, we have an owner in ill health, takeovers, EFL appeal and a global pandemic to deal with.
Whilst I would love to know what is going on with regular updates, I would imagine hands are tied in what they can publicly discuss, and let’s be honest, when they do come out and talk it’s dismissed as PR spin.
I feel they have always been in a damned if they do, damned if they don’t situation.
To address this here as I know it’s been asked in various online platforms, I haven’t spoken with anyone from the club aside from the marketing team with regards to the adverts displayed on this forum.
I do understand your concerns, but aside from the deleted Collymore tweet, I haven’t seen any credible source to suggest the existence of this club is in threat, so was a little puzzled by the talk of protests if I’m totally honest.  
I have been away for the last week and enjoyed some time offline and away from social media, so apologies if I’ve missed anything more. Taking time to catch up now, but there’s a lot of posts!
At this stage I’m willing to remain patient, not freak out at every Daily Mail headline such as this mornings given their success rate on us recently (21 point deductions).
The next couple of months are huge for this club, don’t get me wrong, and I’m not sticking my head in the sand, I just feel that the club face a number of issues that need resolving and will take longer than 48hrs after the final ball was kicked.
Finally, the last 12 months have shown that football is nothing without fans, I’m hoping the communication level with fans is restored to what they were as soon as possible, with the stadiums look set to reopen, fans need to know the clubs plans going forward before parting with any money.
You look at some of this clubs that were to join the ESL, having never heard or very little communication with their owners, we have almost been spoilt in years gone by in comparison, but that’s how it should be, I hope the club are aware of how important the fans are to this club and as I say, look to reopen those lines of communication as soon as possible.

Hello Kieran

He was definitely the lad at school that would remind the teacher that there was homework due in at the very end of a lesson.

Chris Martin.                 I’ll get me ? 

Harangue the players for not caring, then moan when they do. As for lambasting the fans... Don't even get me started on that. For my part, I'll be having a fat Sunday roast and a good few bevvies for the second day running, but then apparently I have low standards ?

Chris Martin.                 I’ll get me ? 

Good luck Rams against The Massive ,hope you stay up .
Your fans were some of the most fervant in our fight against the Oystons, hope to see  you in the Championship next season. 

And, just to make that point, the OP states themselves that they haven't had time for a year to think much about DCFC. Now, when thankfully it seems their personal affairs are more in order, they feel the time is right to have the most senior people at our club to stop all that they have been working on for a year and update them. But not when they're working on their Uber shift. I mean, seriously?

I don’t blame MM for all of this .
Its getting ridiculous now. 
 
Support the club please 

I’m sure MM his doing his best to get the best for this Football Club.
I have spoken to him at forums and outside the ground when he has taken time to speak when he needn't have .
The guy is a human being for goodness sake 
Let’s have some balance  
Has anybody actually thought how this might be effecting him personally 
I grew up in Littleover with Mel although I didn’t personally know him .
He has  always been a Derby fan .
He has made mistakes at times but he doesn’t deserve this  
 

Oh look, another "super fan", far superior us mere mortal season ticket holders.
Dave.

I wrote my comment because I think posters need to recognise that not everyone has the same capacity as them. 
I think that the general tone of the Forum recently is greatly influenced by a few posters who are not only aware of their effect on others but take a certain delight in doing so. If I had my way, I would have removed them long ago but we have to tolerate all opinions. I have made a lousy moderator for this reason.
Now if you disagree with my assessment,  that's fine, but I find the forum a depressing place to be in recent months not because of the football but because of certain posters piling in with rhetoric that is not considered or balanced. I know from the circle of people that I speak to face to face, that they are discouraged from posting because of this. Me too. Now some would say that's no great loss and I would agree! 
What I am saying is that if the Forum makes me feel like this, then it must make others likewise. I have spoken privately with people who think the club is going into administration because they have read it on here and that this will be the end of their club for ever. 
They read and are affected by hysteria. That's what I think it is. I don't think it's healthy and I am trying to point that out. Maybe the problem is mine.
