Given the abuse he is getting I for one don't blame him for wanting to bale out, armchair owners like you guys make me sick. He is not immune from criticism IMO. I don’t know of anybody on here that doesn’t recognise and welcome his contribution. But we can’t escape the fact that we currently are on the edge of relegation, under an embargo and no longer own our ground. If that doesn’t make you feel sick you must have a strong stomach.

I agree, although I would say the number of members giving Mel stick are in the minority....just. He will want to ensure the club goes into safe custody, as both a rams fan and having put years into it, and a great deal of money. We don’t know anything about the new owners yet, as Alonso it just the broker I presume. It’s good not to get expectations raised too much as with the mania over the Sheikh and being the next Man City. Certainly interesting times. Could be a good pre season for once .

Are you saying that he reads the comments on here, is so hurt by the criticism (haven't seen a lot of abuse) and so wants to sell because the nasty fans have said bad things?

Maybe a bit of respect is due to Mel with all the money he has ploughed into the club and let’s not forget his recent poor health??? Yes he’s made mistakes of course he has and he’d probably be the first to admit that...

The only reason it still needs bank-rolling to such an amount is because of the money Mel spent. I never asked him to put the future of the club in jeopardy. After the way it ended with Lionel, the 3 Amigos, and then getting the club back on a better financial footing why didn't he carry on that way? He chose to splash the cash. Fans trusted him.

If we are in that position, it's only because Morris is willing to put the club in that position. Wrong. We are in this position like many other championship clubs because the EFL, The premier League, Sky, BT and others have so skewed the fundamental business, wages and fiscal rules of this sporting contest that it was bound to happen.

If you can’t see the warped structure that lead to this over the last 15-20 years then I think you lack insight and logic. Anything Mel has done he has payed for in full. Finger pointing at the man man who’s used his piggy bank ( not very well) to try and realise some ambition is churlish. Ok so it didn’t work and the piggy bank is empty but all you bought is a ticket to a game. Mel has probably spent 20% of his net worth. He’s bailing out, I don’t blame him.
