And have any teams ever been bought out by their supporters,and did they survive Only the weak die. Accrington, Macclesfield, Bradford Park Avenue, and perhaps Dover in the near future. Plenty of clubs go into admin and survive in one form or other. You are a well supported club and your future will be bright(er). Coventry City/ all other admin. clubs all fear liquidation. I think you will come back although you may have to fall further like we did. I'm certain the players withdrew their labour when things got messy. Whereas you are bare bones at this stage. You could bounce back quickly providing you don't pay stupid wages. How on earth a club like yours managed this is certainly a head scratch. Hold on to your playing venue. Owning the ground is essential for any company in charge. It could be the best part of 12 months before you are out of admin. Coventry City fans were shafted by the owners rebranding and buying the club out of admin and then still managed to duck it up by trying to stress the ground owners.

Orphanram Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) He clearly has no regard for the manager or the players. That he couldn’t look them in the eye tells you everything you need to know about Melvyn Morris. He should never be let near the stadium again.

Pearl Ram Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Well I’d like to thank Rooney for turning up if that is the case. He’s a better man than me, I’d have been like F U Morris if you haven’t got the good grace to inform me about such a monumental decision. Morris seems to be a piece of work for sure.

alexxxxx Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Frankly we knew something was seriously wrong financially when basic stuff clubs do like sell tickets and merchandise couldn't be done. Or when rammie wasn't there for some reason. Season tickets... Season tickets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icomeinpeace Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) As a Forest fan I feel for you guys, it's not your fault but you find your club utterly screwed by someone who has seemingly gone insane while in charge. We had a vaguely similar issue when Nigel Doherty, a lifelong fan bought us, pumped in over 100 million and made bad decision after bad decision, football's a hard hard game to get involved in but from outside it does look like MM has completely lost the plot. You can't blame the EFL, on the face of it Mel had all the right credentials to be a fit and proper owner and while there look to be many points at which he should have been stopped from what he was doing you have to assume that no one thought he was actually doing what he was doing and seemingly submitting at best vague accounts, at worst downright fraudulent. COVID didn't help anyone but its not to blame either. A 12 point deduction is bad but worse looks like its coming and you have to think you can't stay up. I wish you luck in the first division.

GB SPORTS Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 As I said yesterday he has blown it, but we have to turn the anger into something positive.
