FindernRam Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If I ploughed millions into a venture, led its strategy, kept it afloat in uncertain times, then found out all the papers and most of the ungrateful plebs called it somebody else's project I would be mightily upset and would walkaway immediately taking my money with me. Good job Mr Morris seems little more tolerant then me. Lets show him some love. Even a chant or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given some of his previous questionable decisions ( sacking a few managers , sanctioning a few dubious signings etc) do you not think he might want to stay in the background ? Its the 'Derby way' only to fully appreciate owners when they are long gone, if we appreciate them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my age I couldn't really give a monkeys about people liking me (apart from the Grandchildren of course). If I wanted likes I would join the Keogh haters or the Lawrence lovers and post endlessly there. Or even become an Apple Fanbois. But answer this: if Mel is so bad what are you comparing him with. The three Amigos, the Yanks? If he walks who do you want to own us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 His spending, or rather his tenure hasn't taken us anywhere though . We was on track under GSE, steady investment. Not being mugged off in the market. FFP was never a factor. Oh and we reached a play off final, something we've failed to do since under MM. We don't have a pot to pee in thanks to the endless spending under Clement - A major amateur mistake and we are paying for to this day. I just don't see a long term plan or the vision at the club since he came in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a pot to pee in thanks to the endless spending under Clement - A major amateur mistake and we are paying for to this day. I just don't see a long term plan or the vision at the club since he came in ? A few counter points to this. Mel was actually already heavily involved in the club for the play off season, already bought a chunk of the club and a deal was in place prior to the playoffs to buy the rest. Our most 'successful' season of recent times was therefore probably while under joint ownership. FFP wasn't an issue for any club prior to that, it's recent and we're yet to be truly limited by it (see Sheffield Wednesday or Brum for example). I'm not sure how accurate it would be to say GSE would have faired any better. Could you foresee the issues we were going to have with Clement? Or the Pearson saga? Or even the failure of Mac 2? Mel is only human, there's no training academy or manual for owners. Every owner has its failings, for every Fergie there's a David Moyes etc. I'm not saying Mel is a perfect owner but it's always better to make criticisms while suggesting a suitable alternative, so far there's been nothing suggested.

It's not like it's got lower as the season progressed. It started low and has just stayed down there. Really odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think @Wolfie was referring to this and I certainly wasn't. There is more global interest in DCFC now which means we attract more tv coverage and potential attract better players (Ashley is an example of sorts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the league however, I don’t think we’ve been on Sky any more than usual this season. Though it’d be interesting to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
