We heard about him passing the test and the club released a statement the same day but the is no indication of when they first started the testing process. Also, as mentioned already, Birch is now in charge of the test whereas he wasnt around during the Sheikh fiasco. Pretty sure the statement said subject to EFL approval, and it was reported that was discussed and passed the next day. Maybe discussions were underway before then, I don’t know. Pretty sure it wouldn’t take this long if it was all clear though, so Birch is obviously investigating something. Hopefully he’s more thorough than the previous lot in charge!

Millenniumram Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Not going to lie that Collymore tweet is very very concerning. I said in other thread earlier that I was still very concerned about the prospect of administration given our off the pitch issues, this is going one step further. We might not even have a club to support if things carry on the way they are, yet alone a League One team! Things could still get a whole lot worse... Mel has well and truly ducked us over. Makes a total mess of running the club, then leaves someone else to clear up his mess. Given up on us when we needed him most to save the club from potential collapse. Not what a true fan would do imo. sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can’t just abandon your club when putting the money in doesn’t work. He’s crippled us financially then left us to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckram Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 If you believe Stan Collymore’s tweet then you have to also consider Alan Nixon’s tweet. angieram, Millenniumram and r_wilcockson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what a true fan would do imo. Why is it concerning? Why are you assuming a.) Collymore actually has any sources within Derby and b.) he's not just winding up fans who don't like him? I personally won't treat anything Collymore says with any credibility whatsoever. Questioning whether he is a ''true fan'' is complete nonsense too. Having a blue checkmark on Twitter certainly doesn't mean you know anything. Millenniumram, archram and therealhantsram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you’re right of course, it’s been deleted so it may well be false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it could be made up, but it’s not just him that’s saying it, East Midlands today are as well. It’s not that I’m taking what Collymore says as gospel, that would be stupid. But you know full well my feelings on Mel, I’ve been consistent in those and I have my reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really read as anything to me. But we've all seen people randomly make stuff up on the internet before and football fans are awful for just going along with every rumour, I seem to remember many on here believed Barry the ram. East Midlands today said nothing like what Collymore did. I don't really care whether you like or dislike Mel, saying he isn't a true fan because things didn't work out is just unfair. What is a ''true fan'' anyway, and who gets to police it? jono, BrudeRAM, LeedsCityRam and 5 others 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
