Christmas card of Rooney covered in nothing but a leopard print blanket in the middle of the Christmas dinner table eating turkey with Eric Steele while they try to one up each other on how much of a god Rooney is. I’m surprised he hasnt been on radio Derby sport scene talk in with Eric yet maybe missed the chance now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about right really. Rooney can't be blamed for having such a poor and inexperienced team to deal with, whereas, this whole fiasco is down to Morris' abysmal tenure Sport Billy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 28 minutes ago, ScubaRam said: Its a messy situation. I don't think I blame the EFL for these embargos, and whatismore, actually think they are actually helping Derby. Yes its far from ideal that we can't sign players and have a threadbare squad, but when we owe money, and not paying that money back, to every man and his dog, why would we be allowed to start building up new debts in additional players wages? I've been going to watch Derby for the last 20 years. My bar is so low that I've accepted relegation and would rather just have a fairly stable club that is able to start the league next season. Do you think we will go under Scuba? ScubaRam, Ramarena and Gritstone Ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 In the limited feedback we heard from the Supporters Charter Group meeting, Mel said he'd be open to a fan led consortium taking over. I wonder what model of fan ownership he'd be looking at, and what steps he'd personally take to facilitate such a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case, then there will be no sell on fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t really learned anything from that meeting and then more stories come out so it’s still the same worry as Morris won’t give assurances he will see the season out. Only assurances are from David’s story but he’s probably being choked from the club in releasing it which I don’t think it will be put out for us well not before we get updates in a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 One has to ask why Mel bought the club 6 years ago in the first place. I’m absolutely amazed that a so called “business man” couldn’t see that if the gamble to get promotion failed, then he’d lose money. He can’t be surprised by it. It needed to be a long term project; it wasn’t and he is bearing the consequences. Fla Ram, WoollyJumper, Derby blood and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego I’m absolutely amazed that a so called “business man” couldn’t see that if the gamble to get promotion failed, then he’d lose money. He was very confident he would win, within 3 years. He can’t be surprised by it. I really think he is. Shell shocked. It needed to be a long term project; it wasn’t and he is bearing the consequences. True See above. Had two good wins has Mel as a businessman. Well done him. Royally ducked up his third effort. Tough luck. With investments some you win, some you lose. No need for him with his wealth though to bring the whole club to its knees. Rev, Ted McMinn Football Genius, Derby blood and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
