Yes, a contradiction between the club's story and Nixon's. But my opinion has nothing to do with his story, I'm going purely based on what Clement said.

If we win big today would that suggest that it had the desired effect? What is expected of Mel? For me, I expect him to run the football club to be successful and viable. How is that achieved? I don't bloody know, I just hope Mel does. And because I don't know I am just gonna sit here and see how we perform after he has entered the dressing room to see if it was the right decision or not. The first part of the judgement has been passed with Clement and Grant's interview. That would be assuming that there are no other factors involved in today's game, when of course there are. Fingers crossed for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all is said and done, you have made your mind up that this was a bad thing and nothing is going to change your mind. We all (well most) want the same thing, Derby promoted, we all have different ideas of how that is going to happen, the owner and chairman has the final say on everything and I just hope his decisions are correct, we will have to wait and see.

Pearl Ram Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Doesn't it remain to be seen whether it was a distraction though ? You type as though it is fact whereas it's only your opinion. Wonder if a poll of members thoughts on this would be an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was deemed enough of a something for Clement to address it before answering Birmingham questions. And someone in there has clearly leaked something to Nixon. A poll would be a good idea to see where our members are at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't want that I can see your point, no smoke without fire and all that, the chairman shouldn't be going into the changing room, what else could they say etc., but it really is possible that there is no issue, and apart from 2 points out of 9 and a sh*te performance against Reading, that the club as a whole is together and doing everything it can to get back on track. Let's get behind the team, cheer them on, help them through this tough patch and hopefully have enough points at the end of the season to finish in the top 2. If it's the playoffs then carry on for another 3 games. At the end of the day **** stirring, whether with good reason or not, will only make things worse. Let's put this episode behind us. Surely 40 odd pages is enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, you have no idea what was said by Mel Morris, if anything at all was said to the players by him. They are all in the same team from top to bottom, so long as the chairman is not trying to influence team selection (and believe me he is not that daft), then I cannot see what the issue is.

ossieram Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Just imagine if we hammer brum today and Mel goes into the dressing room with a massive smile on his face and tells the team how brilliant they were. Would Nixon report it? Would there be 42 pages on here about it? It's time to drop this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
