Derby blood Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 No more excuses for Mel, he has messed up mire than once, needs to pay the players ASAP, and also come out and tell us what is happening with the take over, oh Mel, your time at Derby is ending in a very poor way. You have taken a top championship team to the bottom 3, and u have not even paid the staff, hang your head in shame. How you have ducked us up in the time you have been here, will always be remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These new potential owners do not appear to be honourable in their intentions and I smell trouble brewing with this farce of takeover. I also blame Morris too. If he knew that the players were not getting paid (I'd be amazed if he didn't know) by this dodgy consortium, he should have ensured that all the players were paid in full immediately. Derby County are now becoming the laughing stock of English football. Disgraceful if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how often those are paid though, so maybe not a pressing issue. Yes that's correct the employer pays NI contributions however wouldn't pay towards the actual salary of the person as such unless they made an active decision to do so.

He could he acting in good faith and this is ALL on (the promises of) the new owners. so er..... yeah, i can stick up for him. If you’re selling something and you’re at the finalisation stage, you can only wait for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the players are not being paid on time is unacceptable. Morris needs to make statement forthwith to provide an explanation as to what the hell is going on!

Ram-Alf Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 17 minutes ago, Tyler Durden said: Really concerned that after the events of the so called buyers with Newcastle then Mel Morris even contemplated doing businesses with them. Shows either a total lack of financial acumen or sheer desperation. Either way reflects poorly on Morris which is now further reinforced. We've been told it's "imminent", We're told that MMs worth is circa £500million, How much is this in cash?, If he's selling through "sheer desperation" i'd be very concerned, People will do very silly things through "desperation", We're all non the wiser as we're not privvy to any of the talks, So pure speculation from all of us. Fortunately MM can't pull any of his hair out, But i'd guess he's non to pleased and could be being strung along in the hope that the deal is "almost" there.

Do we know for certain they’ve still not been paid? If they still haven’t been paid then a statement should be made as they said the funds had been remitted but I’m not convinced, yet, that it is still overdue.

Records will show he took over us as a Championship club, had us challenging for a few years and then left us as a struggling Championship club. Not really much to hang his head in shame for, its certainly not through a lack of effort or finance that things did not work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 When the story broke I thought it was just a technicality of the takeover and an agreement should be thrashed out between Mel and the prospective new owners to get them paid on the next business day. The fact that if this report is right and it hasn’t been resolved by now is very poor and the club are lucky someone isn’t kicking up a fuss. Not sure what the process is in this situation but if the EFL get involved then it’s gonna be an even bigger pooshow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 History might well show that Mel has behaved shamefully during his final months as owner of the club, we’ll have to wait and see. All I can say is that I hope some of the contributors on this thread are not part of the jury should I ever find myself in court. Maybe some of us are naive in clinging to some hope and trying to keep an open mind until the facts emerge but some seem to want to have him hung drawn and quartered before the evidence has even been presented.
