He said something along the lines of he just wants the best for the club even if it meant him just being a fan and watching another owner bring success to the club. Can’t remember the date but it was a talksport interview earlier this year. My take from that interview was that he had two thoughts. An investor with some funds who was willing to work with Mel as, in effect, his senior partner or alternatively an investor with proven substantial resources and genuine commitment. At that point he would be prepared to walk away from control I thought Mel's intent was honest and very clear - he was at pains to put DCFC first and wasn't going to sell to any wide boys with promises bigger than their wallets. He loves this club and while he certainly wants a return on his investment he isn't going to sell us down the river to a 3 amigos gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a personal attack is it, just an off target joke based on your username? I wasn't raised, I was dragged up, and it sometimes shows. Apologies.

I used this platform to get opinions and news until I found this out and thought I’d share it with everyone. If you don’t want to believe me then fair enough , no need to have a go The problem is, with respect, is that you're confusing what you've 'heard' with what you 'know' - It can be a very thin line but one that is useful to be aware of. A few years ago, a certain Derby manager was in dispute with the club following his sacking. I happened to know the brother of his solicitor and he assured me that said manager did not have 'a leg to stand on' and it would all blow over soon. I proudly announced on a forum that this would happen. A week later, manager received a 7 figure pay out, I learned my lesson. Do break down what you're saying - We know that the legal entity that is the football club has significant debt, that's a matter of public record, it's just that debt is to other companies owned by MM, important point. As to the lack of permanent signings? That doesn't make sense, you still have to pay a player, loan or otherwise. The 'chinese thing', well that's meaningless hogwash.

Nuwtfly Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Quite a confusing tweet. Does he means Sheffield United are doing a deal to sign him or just that Coventry are on the verge of selling him to someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
