I remember going to Vancouver, the third best city in the world, unfortunately we took a wrong turn and ended up in the 'Bronx' part of the city. We did something similar. Three previous visits and never even saw anyone begging but on the last trip we came into the city from the NE after a drive out and never seen anything like it. For almost a mile solid - people sleeping in doorways or on the pavement. Depressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd obviously much rather prefer to use smear and innuendo tactics rather than to openly state what his personal beef was which would require some kahunas which he is patently lacking.

'They came from Birmingham, which is not a place to promise much, you know, Mr Weston. One has no great hopes of Birmingham. I always say there is something direful in the sound." Jane Austen (or one of her characters in one of those book things she did). If anyone wants to get into the spirit of defending Birmingham I admire you but it will be a lifelong obsession.

BuckTaylor64 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 22 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: Can you please post a link to any articles where MM has clearly stated that he 'wants his money back'? I've genuinely never heard him say this or even as much as hint at it. In terms of a queue for buying the club, MM stated that various parties had shown a recent interest and talks were ongoing, this would seem to be backed up by a few recent news articles. Not sure about the debt in all of the clubs attached to Derby County, very hard to tell at the moment given that the new holding company and the stadium company have yet to file accounts. I'd certainly imagine it's going to be a large number but the only really relevant figures are those shown in the club accounts and, off the top of my head, external debt in these amounts to £3m. I don't think anyone is under any illusion about the finances of the club. Having to sell our ground obviously shows that all is not well but I believe that was done more for FFP purposes than because of us being in financial trouble. If the wage bill savings alluded to by MM come to fruition over the next 2 seasons I think we will be in a reasonably good financial position. Selling a homegrown player every season, whilst not ideal, is probably the only model that will make any club self sufficient in this division. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mel-morris-considering-selling-derby-2664699 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link you have provided their says he would be willing to sell the club or consider outside investment. Does the article also not contradict your claim that nobody is interested in buying the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
