Derby blood Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Mel will be judged on where he took us to, 4th bottom at the mo, would not pay the players on time, did not communicate with the fans, Pearson came on radio Derby telling porkies all the time, when Mel took us over we had reached the play offs against QPR, we had some top talent, Mel then spent 6 years sacking managers falling out with them, trying to take everyone to court, and up setting managers by going into the changing room, so for me Mel has not done a good job, let's just hope we still have a club next season with the way he has handled everything in recent times. If I was a multi millionaire I owned the club I had supported all my life there is no way I would duck it up like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of different but similar threads. Basically there is only one show in town, ie what is happening with the takeover, and if its nothing... what money is there to buy players. Whether its : who can we afford to buy, who's wages have been paid, will there be a fire sale, is Sibley going, Mel please don't go etc. All roads still lead back to the same factor, is the takeover done (in whatever sense you prefer) and what does that mean for how much money is there left.

Great managers like Brian Clough, and Alex Ferguson would never in a million years put up with a owner like Mel, Mel loves the lime light to much, always talking poo, lije the Derby way for ducks sake, or talking about how we will have 6 acamady players in the match day squad, he is a owner who has never even played the game, so if I was the owner with Mels money, I would employer a manager, support the manager, not get involved in teams affair, and if we are in the top 6 not sack them or put pressure on them. But that's my opinion, as I would only have the team I have supported for 45 years in my heart, and would never put them in the same position as Mel has done.

Other than once tell the team he was pished off, how did he meddle in team affairs? He spent £100m of his own money backing managers signings. Would you have put more or less money in than Mel?

Let's judge Mel on when he took the job on, top 6, beaten in the play offs, played great stuff. Mel now not putting FA into the club, club bottom 4, judge him on his time at Derby, he employed all them managers, and fell out with everyone around him, also very silent at this present time.

There's no secret Mel is apparently ill. Radio Derby have mentioned it. Also he's the owner, Stephen Pearce in the CEO role has handled most club communication.

So you just judge him on the day he took over against the day he leaves? Dont you think youre missing quite a lot of stuff out if you do that? Do you not think he has done anything good for the club? How about comparing the academy from the day he tookover to the day he leaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about comparing the academy from the day he tookover to the day he leaves? The academy is an interesting debating point. Fortunately due to my son, we are lucky enough to benefit from the facilities and set up in place, I have to say it's fantastic, a credit to the club. However, do the benefits we see from the day we took, outweigh the costs involved. I'm not talking about the money to set up really, because I'm presuming that's Mel investment and we don't owe him anything on the back of that. The fantastic set up no doubts attracts players that probably wouldn't have considered us previously, cat 1 gives us certain benefits, most clubs would be envious of the set up, we appear to have an abundance of youth players coming through. On the flip side, would players like Sibley, Knight etc...been at the club anyway ? I don't believe the radius or number of players for each age group increases with a cat 1. We have seen two players leave recently that we don't appear to have been able to do anything about. How much does it cost to run ? Not a debate on where the academy is now to where it was really, the set up speaks for itself, more around how much more beneficial is it compared to lesser facilities that wouldn't cost as much to run.

Or... the number of times we were within 90-270 minutes of promotion to the Premier League, compared to the number of times we were in that position in the 6 years prior to Mel? @Derby blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Is your glass half full or is it half empty are you one of life eternal optimist or a gloom pessimist. Life and all its its different aspects dependent upon YOU as person and how you approach them. Anyone can make out an argument for anything just take Hitler,Stalin and the like.
