Mafiabob Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 For Mel..... Please don’t merge thread mods. Thought if I walked into a room without knowing him, and he talked the way he did then on TalkSport, I’d have walked thinking I met a honest, genuine and realistic person.

Zag zig Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Go on, admit it, secretly you’ve been waiting for ages to join the Mel appreciation club and talk sport has rescued you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I admitted the same on the TalkSport thread. I’ve slowly converted. Ownership has been a learning curve for the once “Mad” Mel Morris. I could list a load of bizarre and stupid decisions that were obvious even without hindsight, but I much prefer this iteration of his ownership. Can’t help but feel we’re in safe hands. The reactions to that interview from non-Derby fans speaks volumes. After listening to what he had to say on a number of topics, I’m not sure I care if Frank Lampard stays or goes anymore. Whatever happens, Mel has the best intentions of the club and is (now) appearing to approach things in the right way. Long may that continue. Refuse to sincerely refer to him as “Uncle”, though.

Mostyn6 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Breakfast club taught me/us in attendance that whilst his decisions might not always be right, he's an intelligent and dedicated bloke who does actually want what's best in the long term. I never got the impression of Mel being someone with ulterior motives or an underlying agenda. Quite publicly, he wants Derby to be in the PL and he wants to leave a legacy of a great football club behind. I got the feeling, and he alluded to it, that he won't make decisions to "appease" fans going forward, which is the only reason we can explain appointing Nigel Pearson a few years back.

Millenniumram Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Was a great interview. He’s made a lot of mistakes at Derby but his reign ain’t over yet... it could still be successful next year. Good to see some support for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the flags out, the Mafia is turning I listened to some of it while at work but annoyingly I had to actually do something and missed the latter part. Now having listened to the whole interview, taking into account that it was planned some weeks ago and he could have just cancelled it due to the circumstances, his stock has gone way up in my estimation. I want us to go up because I'm a Derby fan from the bottom of my heart but it will make it a tiny bit sweeter to see Mel's smile when he takes the plaudits on promotion day. Its gonna happen on Mel's watch, its the Derby Way, like it did for Sam Longson and Lionel Pickering ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
