It's a flipping conspiracy - Daveo is so desperate to catch me in the 'likes' stakes that he has enlisted Mel as his right-hand man. All those hours I have invested in Candy Crush mean nothing now - I am deeply hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to inject some humour. I nearly Hajduk split my sides there, Needles,. i do take your points though. I joined a Crochet Club last week, you know the one with the balls, hoops and mallets. When I got there, it was Crochet with Needles and they would not let me out until I had crocheted a small scarf. Fortunately, i now have the only crocheted Mel Morris freebie look alike scarf. Actually it is quite smart and very warm. I may go back, if you would like one, I will crack you out a crocheted Mel Morris scarf. (CMMS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very proud of your contribution to the Rams cause. The fact that Mel reads this Forum is the best possible way that he could get to keep in touch with what the fans think. This can only be good for all Derby fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 All we need now is to convince Paul Clement to sign up so he could take advice from the extraordinary tactical and managerial talent we have on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I am surprised nobody (the negative ones that is) picked up on Mel's comments about selling for a profit. He said something like "we used to buy players and sell for less than what we paid... I want us to be improving players and selling them for more than we paid" I half expected someone to twist that into "Mel is gonna sell out star players and keep the money".

No idea, January will be the next time, when we sell Bryson to Burnley/Celtic if Muespach has his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is, and I'm sure you know this because I don't think you actually hold that view, players get sold. If we buy a player for £1m, he does well, but then a few years later he gets displaced by a better player, I think it'd be a double bonus to be able to recoup £3m for him. Maybe we won't go fully Southampton and sell everyone every season and still survive, but we won't keep everyone either. As long as we improve with the money, I don't mind a few key players being sold at top prices. But that's once we're up, because right now we have to keep the players together I think.
