sonofmidnight Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I think we've got to be realistic. I would love us to be successful with an Mel but let's face it it's very unlikely to happen with the way football is going. Football is a global business and we can't turn the clock back. We need investment and quite honestly if someone is prepared to invest heavily in the club then we ought to welcome it. It will bring excitement and renewed vigour to our club and hopefully will allow us once again to compete with the likes of Manchester City who were like us not so long ago.

Abu Dhabi Ram Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 33 minutes ago, Marriott Ram99 said: I'm undecided on this. Mel Morris has the right intentions seems a decent guy but has ultimately been a failure and at the moment the decision he made to appoint Cocu is looking a very bad one and pretty much every decision he has made in hind sight has not worked out. Saying that I'd rather Derby be a terrible league 1 club and atleast be a local team rather than the new Man City with plastic fans, a new stadium full of tourists and crap atmosphere and no local players. Also if the owner has dodgy principles and morals and has middle age ways of treating people then I'd rather be a team that's in league 1 or a rubbish championship side than have some dodgy ducker come in who may equally be unsuccessful, at least Morris has the right intentions. So you are now Cocu in? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OohMartWright Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Whilst, like everyone else on here, I have a desire for Derby to be successful, I can't get rid of an overwhelming feeling of "Be careful what you wish for". I suspect that the majority of us will only appreciate what an amazing owner/chairman Mel Morris is/was after he has gone. I, for one, would not be at all disappointed if this deal fell through.

Derbados Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Can we now just do a Wolves and get in bed with Jorge Mendes, sign a Portuguese coach and a team full of Portuguese wonderkids and be done with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why we will never achieve anything with that mentality. Ask Wolves fans about it.

If we loose to Bournemouth I'd want him out, I'm at a tipping point stage where if we loose and loose badly that's it for me but he could redeem himself at this stage. Just though.

Derbados Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Ive always believed that Percy has a direct link to Mel as his information is always spot on. for him to post this tells me this is done and dusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
