Mafiabob Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I see all these threads regarding managers, players, fans etc........ Rowett hung himself out to dry tonight, but you know why and what I feel..... That was toxic tonight, I maybe care too much as well..... but you know my feelings to the current owner, and I don’t want to end up with the forum becoming libellous, but I think he’s fair game for the most criticism since 2015. We are only going one way with this owner in charge, and it’s the opposite of up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Some people are good at setting up Internet dating sites and designing video games some people are good at being chairman of a football club. Mel Morris has so far proved that the two scenarios are unfortunately mutually exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well it backfired spectacularly tonight by going in the stands .His thinking must have been Sunderland easy win ,get back on track etc and we turn in a clusterfuck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamRam Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Only need to look around the league to see managers performing with chairman a lot worse than MM. Having said that, he has done the hiring and firing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Radio Derby prematch tonight, bemoans the waste bill (was wage bill, but sometimes autocorrect is apt!), after chasing promotion since he's been in charge, yet has previously stated that promotion was a by product of a 'rising tide of performance', rather than the ultimate goal. He stands in the South stand with Jono and the finance director tonight, enough, stop with the fookin gimmicks, stop deflecting blame onto the fans or past employees, just do your job as owner and make sure the people below you in the organisation do the same.

G-Ram Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We were better off with the american owners & clough the mac part one stabilised the club financially, had some good young player and everything seemed promising now we have an average age of 30odd & a massive wage bill. Mel morris might as well have got a time machine & took us all back to the jewell days id be made up if he went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Don't understand the problem with MM, he has backed the Manager financially throughout his tenure, upgraded the training facilities to premier league class. He employs people that on paper have all the attributes of doing a fine job, same with the people above Rowett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ok backing managers but some of the business we have done is unforgivable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has backed a string of managers with transfer funds and he is now looking down the barrel of another end of season melt down. Not necessarily in terms of the position in the league, but in the abject performances. If even half of the player acquisitions had been successful I don't think Mel wouldn't be talking about scaling things down. Also it's likely that the $am Rush dealings will be affecting the chairmans view of football club financing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be a lot worse off than we are - only have to look down the road at Forest. He’s still learning and it must be very hard to not let your emotions take charge when you are so passionate about a club but I don’t doubt that he’s got better. For me the scouting and training/fitness at the club is the problem. Why did we sign Jerome when you look at Fletcher up front for Sunderland tonight (granted he’s on loan from Middlesbrough who probably wouldn’t have loaned him to us), surely there’s better prospects out there that could have done a job. Also what fitness programmes do our players follow? How long has Steve Haines been in charge of player fitness and conditioning yet I’ve not seen a fit Derby team in many many years. Sunderland were 10 times fitter tonight and we’ve had 3 weeks off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
