SuperDerbySuperRams Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I don't know what's gone on between the club and RD, but what an absolute disgrace. All the good work they have done for the club. Whoever made that decision should be ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have our own Fawaz and are becoming more and more of a joke by the week. The fact that a TS presenter is referring to us as a "strange club", is frightening. Has it ended?

Eastdevonram Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 if that is true about mel going off on one and being in the wrong,why would powel want to stay to put up with that sort of behaviour especially if he is a friend of pearson's and he was not the instigator of the fall out..

For everything he's done good behind the scenes, in public he comes across as a bafoon with a nice pot of money which he isn't. Let Sam Rush deal with more of the footballing decisions because the more Mel gets criticised, the more it'll damage the club. Therein lies part of the problem. As soon as he became the owner, we never saw Rush, and it was all about Mel. Clearly likes the limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posh Ram Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 48 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: And what about the money he spent paying the mortgage off or the millions he has poured into the academy, basically securing the long term future for the club? Without wanting to get personal I think fans like you are a disgrace. By all means say he has made bad decision etc but at least have the decency to look at the picture. But that's easy money to spend, isn't it... he's consistently got the harder, "more emotional" decisions wrong. Sacking coaches when he feels like it and getting way too involved in the running of the club just kills the sustainability that spending on the academy tries to create. Other owners spend lots of money without getting over-involved. Maybe "disgrace" was a bit far (to be honest I'm just intrigued to see if I'll get a threatening PM if I go over the top with criticism) but I think it'd be difficult to say he's been a positive to the club and the reason for that is he goes with his heart rather than his head. Bursting into the changing room after a bad result sums up everything that's wrong with his ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeS Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 This is a storm in a teacup...hopefully to be sorted out in the week, but it doesn't reflect well on the club in truth. There apparently is a communications director at the club, who presumably is responsible for overlooking the club's relations with the press etc. My view is that there has been a downward slide in the club's outward relationships since this guy came on board. I may be wrong, but silence, refusal, and a somewhat arrogant attitude to the fans, the community in general represented by the press, is not the way to go. If there is a problem, sort it out face to face behind closed doors. This guy may have nothing to do with it, but it certainly doesn't seem Colin Gibson's way to go.

Mel hasn't actually said very much at all since the Clement dismissal and his character assassination over 'The Derby Way' - yet you seem to attribute everything bad, from the weather to Keogh's defending, to him personally. The fact that you have heard 'so many different rumours' says everything to me. Nobody knows anything, so they are making things up - then they are attributing blame for them all to Mel irrespective of whether they are true or not. I suppose that even though they are different, there will be some people who choose to believe them all because it suits their agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
