Ultimately if he had any class whatsoever, he would have walked away. He was the club captain, and jumped into a car pissed up, knowing the young, inexperienced drivers were also three sheets to the wind. To try and claw back money at such a time for club, when you're in financial trouble, shows he doesn't really care. The issue is you sacked him but not Bennett and Lawrence - who ultimately were the real culprits.

Absolutely correct, of course no way to prove it but i think had the players behind the wheel been Anya and Jozefoon then I believe they would have been sacked.

Quoted both posts because I think you're both correct. Lawrence was the "problem". Writing off £5 million (DCFC book value ?) was simply out of the question. I personally think that the right decision was taken, and even though we may end up paying his wages in full, any saving would have come in more than useful.

Won't get my hopes up but looks a lot more realistic than the other fantasists who were "trying" to buy us. I cant see this being anymore dodgy than the fake sheik and his vanishing millions At the tender age of 29, he could become one of the youngest chairmen in the top four divisions after the guy at Sunderland. Alonso in pole position to buy the rams. This Alonso chap seems to be a boxing promoter in Madrid. So we at least have greater certainty over his personal wealth compared to old Shakey... Why all the bad comments about Alonso , just because he was part of sheff wed and tried to take them over on the cheap but got knocked back by chansri doesnt mean anything . Is there more to it than this or something else other than that as for me I welcome it at the moment . The arabs had failed twice before and I can see a reason for not wanting them but Alonso why the hate plz ???? https://neweraglobalsports.com/ This shows legitimacy to me Can anyone confirm why Alonso is being written off as a conman? He didnt have anything to do with position Sheff weds are in, that happened long before he joined them and from what I can see he left because he wanted a british managet and Chansiri wanted a foreign manager, which is ironic given he ended up bringing in Darren Moore Alan Biggs was on Radio Derby a week or so back and said that Alonso certainly seemed pretty switched on footballing wise and left due to clashing with Chansiri's other advisor. Apparently he'd lined up Paul Cook for the Sheff Wed job. Some Spanish players coming in would be nice. isn’t Ramos thinking of leaving R.Madrid? Hopefully this lot turn out to be legitimate buyers, and not just another load of time wasters... Takeover complete according to SSN subject to EFL approval. No Limits Sports Ltd - Eric Alonso Finally. Let's hope they are willing to invest some money into the team as we definitely need it no matter what division we are in. Derby County Football Club wishes to confirm that a definitive agreement to purchase the club has been reached with No Limits Sports Limited, subject to EFL approval. Woohoo, the sky's the limit! It might not have worked out the way he or us as fans would have wanted but i just want to thank Mel for his efforts while he was owner of the club. Hopefully this move is a good one and it brings a bit more stability to the club. COYR give it a chance I say I’ve nothing against Spanish owners, as long as they don’t make us eat that Spanish food in the concourse. It’s all fish heads chicken and rabbit bones and sea shells, with a few sticklebacks for starters. This doesn't have to be bad news. We'll know more once those providing the wonga to fund this step out of the shadows - as they are bound to do. I'm going glass half full on this and hoping for the best Looking forward to some decent churros and hot chocolate before the game. Just wait it out and go along with the ride. More concerned that Morris will still be around tbh. Totally agree lets see how this play out That said lets hope they have deep pockets we need to invest in at least 7/8 new players next season if we have any hope of going anywhere in this division assuming we are still playing in this division and get rid of the ramell we have This is already more promising than the Sheik. At least they understand some communication with the fans might be sensible from time to time. Well I’d love some tapas stands and some decent red wine. Steaming Paella on a rainy Wednesday night worth a try. Whatever your Brexit position, European food makes plastic American franchise stuff look distinctly none league. Bring on the patatas bravas So much to be excited about... The only thing I will say is that I personally would have less potential problem with a member of VOX than a member of a Middle Eastern ruling family member.

Yer this is what a lot of posters on here can't get their heads around - Keogh was seen as expendable as it wasn't even clear whether he would play football again so was sacked whilst the other 2 who were just as much involved in the incident weren't as Lawrence especially was a saleable asset. Another example of a crap decision from Morris which has bit him on the arse. I'm not decrying that the players shouldn't have put him in that position but you have to manage properly what's flung up in front of you and again he didn't.

I don't have any privy information so not even sure why you've made that aspersion, my observation was based purely on the comments I've read on the Keogh forum. If Morris and other posters can't see that the decision to single out one person for one level of discipline whilst 2 others got away with far lighter sanctions was uneven, inconsistent and probably unfair - which has been supported in the final outcome - then that's something I can't help them with.
