why should he? he has put the club at risk of going into liquidation, he should never be welcome back at the club.

Interestingly enough, if you're going to run it as a sustainable organisation, then you don't actually have to have shedloads of money.
Seems like some of us want owners who can successfully run a business, some of us want another sugar-daddy.

the reason Derby County Football Club went into administration is so so simple..... Mel Morris stopped putting in the money to keep them out of administration.....that is it, nothing else....If he was still pumping money into the club we would not be in administration.

alram got a reaction from Red_Dawn in Alan Nixon Breaks Silence on American Billionaire Bid
I don't want to be negative about another potential incoming owner but there are lots of red flags surrounding him that we had similarly with erik alonso.
For a start his main company is nowhere close to being big enough to be able to fund a football club, especially one that needs so much money putting into it.
Secondly the man, judging from his tweets he seems like another man child that craves attention - not a serious businessman.
For me he screams front man for somebody else, which is always slightly concerning

that is true no doubt. They will have done their due dilligence surely.
Just me being paranoid and all in my own head, it's okay having access to money, it doesn't mean he is using that to buy the club. It could easily be a case of the glazers or burnleys new owners structure of buying a club which is what the americans like to do. that would be a disaster for us, you are just swapping debt for more debt.
The capital companies want return on their investment, if they don't get it they will find a way to get it. they don't care about the heritage of a football club.

I’d disagree. And the administrators obviously think a decent case can at least be made. Like I say - I’d suggest reading the other threads as it’s a lot more nuanced than looking at whatever is happening at other clubs.

alram got a reaction from Red_Dawn in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.
but it is not going to make a difference is it? even if the deduction was completely wiped we are still not in a secure place in the championship, as said above, it seems like a ridiclous waste of money that could be used elsewhere.
we have had pointless legal battles to no avail for years and years now, it's time to pack it in and focus going forward.
i must admit i am not impressed at all with how the administrators have conducted themselves so far

alram got a reaction from Hector was the best in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.
we have a skeleton squad and ffp troubles (the next accounting period may also lead to deductions). a club in the championship will still have to spend money to compete again, league 1 may slow the proccess but it will also mean a cheaper club and let them mould it in their own way and time.
what makes us an attractive club is lowering the stupid price a buyer has to pay with very little to show for it.
we all may have different opinions on this but i really think people are wrong (and the administrators) when they put so much weight in what division we are going to be in.
-

you are chasing results on the pitch. It is the exact reason we are in the mess in the first place.
administrators should be focusing on sorting the club off the pitch, and on the pitch will sort itself out.
Championship or league one, we are not an attractive club to buy regardless.

do we know it's that much? are the grounds we are appealing on actually worth persuing? we are going to have to recoup that money from somewhere.
300k here, 300k there, it all adds up. the club is in a mess, if they want to find buyers they need to get the buyer the lowest price possible. If they are just adding cost after cost in a futile attempt to keep us in a division which we are doomed to go down in then it's a waste of resources.
just my opinion, sorry if i seem all doom and gloom but i do not trust these administrators. I didnt think the squad was good enough to even compete this season, a good first few months dont really change the huge hole we have in the playing squad - once we go on a bad set of results will we recover? we are looking at a playoff season to even stay in the division and this is a weaker set of players that rooney kept up with the skin of their teeth.

I know we all have hope because of our excellent start but that's exactly what it is. When the results sour in the busy winter period then what? For me it's about using the little money we have wisely, appealing points deductions is not good use of resources. What if the appeal fails? oh it's okay, the tea lady can go - that should cover it. It is a waste of money, we will be incredibly lucky to stay up even without any deductions.

alram got a reaction from Hector was the best in Derby finally accept 21 point deduction.
Despite our excellent results so far this squad isnt good enough to stay in this division, you throw in a points penalty whatever it may be, i am sure we will have more penalties coming.
it's a complete waste of time and resources. we should be planning life for league one and that should be along the lines of savouring every penny we have - not fighting stupid legal battles. So if its not staff that are suffering, we are gonna have to pay that bill with a player sale in january anyway.

alram got a reaction from taffyram in Who would you like as new DCFC owner?
The name is irrelevant. The background of the person is irrelevant.
Mel was the dream owner in many ways, but he has done more damage than anybody in it's history.
All I want from an owner is for them to give me something to be proud off, a relatable team that tgives their all every week. Stop chasing unrealistic dreams, if it means we have to overachieve to get to the Premier League then so be it. Run the club properly and stop this casino style running off my club. That is all I want from an owner.
