I believe MM purchased 50% before the play off final which became 100% towards the end the 2014/15 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I should have been more clear - He didn't have control until the end of the McClaren time - And I think his share was a lot smaller than 50% before that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the local Leeds press it appears that Vydra has asked for more money. Is that Lampards fault? No. Is it Morris fault? No. But according to our fans it is. Leeds are the only club in for him. If they feel his wage demands are too high. Then what on earth can we do about it? Also Burke. Apparently we really hard up now cos we can't afford Burke or convince him to come here over Hull. As far as I'm aware the only paper to say we were in for Burke is the Sun? Is your head up mels arse? Mel signed off on the wages Vydra is on at the worst level of his form. He’s now coming off the form of his life and another club won’t pay him the same or more depending on the rumours you believe? But no it would never be mels fault, he only sprinkles magic dust and has nothing to do with any poor decisions at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Right, I need to get my head round this... Derby fans are angry at Mel Morris because Leeds can't afford to increase his wages from what he's on here? I'm sure if I read it enough I'll be able to understand why some people are angry. ?

This was when he was appointed chairman. GSE then asked him to bring forward his next planned investment, to cover running costs of the next season, this he did in return for the appropriate share, plus extra money he invested on top to improve the training ground, for which he received no immediate benefit. He took full control around the time McClaren was sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly for 8mill and his wages. The fact it’s worked out since you could say was obvious but a couple of managers didn’t... Rowett has made it happen not Mel. Has it worked out... yes... was there more luck than judgement by Mel... yes. Could that money and wages have been spent better... yes. Am I grateful he’s put his money in as a supporter... yes. If he wants to take the glory and pose with half the signings should he be immune to criticism... no! The fact still remains what was paid and agreed whether that was needed to get him was far too much and has been shown that even after Poty awards and top goal scorer records there isn’t a load of clubs after him at lets be honest a pitiful profit for the differences in form. 2 hours ago, Ambitious said: Right, I need to get my head round this...

Who’s angry... but if you think our transfer dealing in the last few years have been well ran you’re on cloud cuckoo land and some accountability has to go to the top.
