NottsRam Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 There seems to be a lot of bad blood between Mr Marples who I believe was one of the league of Gentlemen assembled by Peter Gadsby, and Mel Morris. I was on a DCFC related page on FB and saw a comment by Peter Marples, had a look to see if it was the same guy. It is and reading through his posts (which are made public) he seems very very bitter towards Mel Morris and indeed DCFC as a whole. It seems he feels he has been badly treated and that Mel's running of the club is a shambles. Alludes to the fact that Rotherham is a far better run club than Derby and seems to have almost a hatred for all things DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 So at a guess onelost a lot of money and isn't happy. Football is hardly a sound investment at the best of times, and ruthless millionaire business guys didn't get that way being nice, even if they have a nice face for certain purposes. So probably a mixed bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Correct, NR. He's owner CEO of 3aaa, an apprenticeships provider. They used to sponsor the SW corner, in more recent times. Who, are utter tripe, personal experience. Whether that's reflective of him, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all relative though. In my opinion Burton are a better run club than Aston Villa but Villa naturally have(or had) more resources due to being a bigger club and larger fanbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmini Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 There is a chap on twitter posting some interesting stuff about Derby, no one seems to know who he is @hkram8 The reason I mentioned is because his pinned post on twitter relates to comments by Peter Marples @Boycie and very much worth a read. I have no idea if any of it is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think hkram8 had a brief cameo on here not so long ago but was enlightened swiftly and that was that. I got the impression there could be an agenda/mischief making with some of his posts to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
