Would that have been a mistake? We'll never know. Absolutely!...Plus Roy McFarland and co, To many players hold too much sway in football imo.

Unity plaza is a nice example but Dixie Dean at Goodison is like a shrine. The Trinity at Old Trafford is wonderful and evocative of an era.

Hector deserves one of course but I'd love to see Todd somewhere. If MM has just performed a miracle with the sheikh he will deserve one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I believe it was a certain Mr Clough who said.... ”I once thought I’d made a mistake but it turned out I was right all along!” (No, that wasn’t Nigel BTW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I'd probably have done something silly like inviting a bunch of fans from an internet forum* to a meet and greet session at Moor Farm, offer them breakfast only to fail to provide them with any sausages. Can you imagine the carnage? It's a good job Mel Morris is a far wiser man than I. *tbh at the time it would have probably been Popside, which is where the real mistake probably comes into it!

Rab a dab doo Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Buying the club in the first place with my Derby County fans hat,scarf and brain just like did Mel. Probably thinking now, wouldn't a season ticket each year have been a bit cheaper ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raich Carter Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I think the match-day experience is a problem - it's all just so samey. I would've made season tickets much cheaper to get a full stadium. I'd try and so something very different on match days rather than the cliche fireworks and penos - surely we can be more creative than that. Put some proper entertainment on for the early arrivers to get more people in spending - serve them in their seats too. More variety and better quality food and drink - it's mostly shocking and hugely expensive. In other news, I would've punched Pearson in the face. For being Pearson (a thick bully).

Bosshogg Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I would have appointed a strong manager and totally given him free reign. Think Sam Allardyce. I’d have reduced prices at the ground and offered OAP transport to and from the ground and if they needed shopping doing on the way home. Big Sam would be chasing players to play ‘his way’ whilst I was tapping up an aged Ronaldinho and signing him on ridiculous wages. Big Sam is furious and walks away, I appoint Ronaldinho in charge of all team affairs and we samba our way all the way to relegation. Bankruptcy looms so I agree to sell my share to an experienced football club owner who promises to do his best for the club and assures me he is ‘in tune’ with the fans. Welcome Mike Ashley to DCFC. I walk away skint tearfully clutching my ill fitting Derby County Ronaldinho replica shirt and my Sports direct big mug (nice metaphor). Still it was a hell of a 6 months.
