DesertRam Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 After discussion with the Oracle at Delphi, I have ascertained that Redknap and Maclaren are going to be consultants, and Lamps is arriving at the end of the season. Mel will keep a seat on the board to represent the Fans ..... if only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying because some people don't have a problem, nobody should have a problem? If it was half a million would that make it OK to question their record? I am not inferring anything. I was stating a fact. Of the 1.5 million that visit there, suggests maybe 1 of 4 things. A) they aren't away of any human rights issues. B) don't care. C) don't believe they are serious enough to warrant not going or D) are hypocrites. How many people on here that have issue with any human rights issues have actually visited UAE? Also another point to think about is that people in here are applying "British morals" to another country. People in other countries may think that there are human rights issues this country. For example mass murderers who get some jail time me and then are freed again. Ethical in some countries but not others I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half Fan Half Biscuit Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Apologies - haven't read all 63 pages of this thread so may have missed something but . . . . . . this guy is worth £500 million and has zero connection with Derby County. Mel is a fan who is according to the Sunday Times worth £515 million. Why would anyone get excited by this takeover unless the Sheikh has a lot of rich friends who are prepared to take a punt?

oldtimeram Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Is this Saudi guy intending to buy us the right Royal, or a chap with a similar name? Is the bloke a multi billionaire, or got about the same amount of dosh as Mel? I keep reading conflicting reports. If he's only worth the same as Mel, what is the benefit to the club?

Fact or not it's not relevant. I am British and I have British morals. I would like my club to also have British morals, or at least vaguely compatible ones. I may be in a minority of one, but it would appear not looking at some of the people posting here. Ultimately it won't be decided on my objections, or likely on the majority of fans objections. But I don't have to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Derby now have their own media department. There is now social media There are now dedicated sports channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
