To me it's almost certainly in regards to expanding commercial revenue. How would we go about expanding commercial revenue - would that be stuff like using the stadium for other events, adding that shopping extension, etc?

We spent £7.5 million on one player this summer. Our wages are lower now, but i assume still a high percentage of our turnover. Havent we just basically blown the allowable loss for that year on one player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what Bielik's "fair value" will be at the end of this season. But right now it's no where near £10mn. I suspect we'll claim it is though. I think we could have got just as good a player for a tenth of the price if we had a good recruitment department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BodminRam Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Maybe buy some land so when we travellers come up by car, we can actually park. And before you say get public transport already looked into it, and its a non starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK47 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 You're talking about a man that has bought Wayne Rooney to Derby County on the back of loop holes and cunning deals with the sponsor that allowed him to achieve it. There's never been a bigger signing at this level before and that's down to one man, Mel Morris. Investment I can imagine would be used to improve the squad to some extent, but I trust whatever deals Mels doing will be for the best interests of the club. He's a genius. ?

His heart is in the right place. And he has committed huge sums of money to Derby But - however well intentioned - the vast majority hasn't been spent well and Derby have not been well managed in my view during his tenure (His investment in the academy has been excellent and I hope that aspect will pay off). Right now, we're certainly worse off than the day before he took over. We've got a less good squad than we had then. We've more than tripled our wage bill. And the football club no longer owns the Stadium (which might not matter now, but could should the football club be sold in the future but not the stadium as we lose a revenue stream).
