Gibson has been Boro chairman for a long long time and Mel has come at it with new looks and approaches and it has upset the old order, but being upset that the new guy is shaking up what you'd all previously had as "understanding of how this works" is not the same as "the new guy is breaking the rules" - the rules are written, and DCFC was investigated and apart ffrom some notes, found to have acted within them. I'm partcually bugged at the constant misreporting of the amortisation - it cost the same in the end, DCFC were clever about which year they accounted for some of it, but clever within what acounting practices allow for. It's almost constantly repeated that it somehow "costs less" - it does not, it saves up some big cost to the end of contracts instead of evenly costing (in ffp terms) over the contract length. Either way, he's never going to get 6th place in 2019 given to him and he's going to have to learn to live with pissing his parachute money away on Tony Pulis. Oh dear , how sad , NEVER MIND !!

Or just skimmed the summery and decided their guy is in the right because MFC (not that we don't always back our guy as being right because he's DCFC)? My theory is that all those chemicals in the air has turned their brains to soup , when they give their heads a wobble they get sea-sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he'd get us up the table no problems. p45 for Col “It’s a massive club," he said. "The number of times I’ve nearly gone to Derby in the last few years is ridiculous. I think I’ve been there three times almost. “So I know how big it is. I mean, the facilities - I go on about the facilities here at Middlesbrough, but at Derby it might even be a little bit better there than here. “It’s unbelievable what they’ve done there. “It’s a great club with great fans. “I used to love the Baseball Ground. I think one of my favourite memories as a player was at the Baseball Ground. Not with Burton Albion in the cup replay, mind you. “But when I was a young lad at Chesterfield, first year, we played Derby in the League Cup. “I remember we went there and there was a lad there called Dave McKay. [Jimmy] McGuigan said to us, ‘get at Dave McKay, he can’t run’. He was right, he never moved out of the centre circle, but he was the best player on the pitch! “Alan Hinton kept putting them crosses in. We played well, but we got beat. It was a great atmosphere, even for a cup game. “It’s always been a special club to me, even when I took over at Burton Albion. It’s always been a massive club to the side of wee Burton.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Extract from a lengthy Athletic article, maybe all is not as it appears... Quote Morris also had some public spats with Middlesbrough owner Steve Gibson, who failed with two attempts to take Derby to an EFL disciplinary hearing last month. Middlesbrough wanted to launch a fresh inquiry into Derby’s spending in the 2018-19 Championship season and joined the EFL’s appeal against the verdict. Those battles in business seldom get personal, however. The public spats, the grandstanding, the gesturing, it’s all part and parcel of the game. And Morris knows that as good as anybody. Morris could be gracious with bitter rivals, too. When Leeds United came to Pride Park during project restart, Morris gifted the club with a bottle of champagne. After the game, Leeds’ sporting director Victor Orta could be seen jumping up and down and looking through a pair of binoculars. This came after the previous season’s drama of “Spygate”, when one of Marcelo Bielsa’s staff was reprimanded outside Moor Farm for attempting to spy on a Lampard training session. Orta decided to have some fun at Derby’s expense, which Morris is thought to have taken in good humour. It’s even believed that behind closed doors, he and Boro owner Gibson get on rather well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
