DCFC27 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Genuinely the more I think about what Mel has done, the more it makes my blood boil. Mel is reportedly worth £515 million! Source Sunday times. Lets assume they’re wrong and he’s “only” worth £200million. The man has more than enough to run the club in (his word) “Perpetually”. This really is a man who has the means to pay but won’t. He’s openly admitted gambling on promotion yesterday! At the very least he should be made to pay off the clubs debt, and leave the club how he found it. My understanding is the club under GSE only had the mortgage outstanding on the ground and it wasn’t a significant number. I don’t think we should protest at the games as I don’t feel it’s fair on the team. Could we organise a march through Derby city centre to the ground on a non Matchday, try and get some national press to take notice and apply some pressure. At worst we might disgrace him to the nation… ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should’ve happened after we saw the likes of Blackman, Butterscotch and Johnson performing years ago. De22Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Perhaps an area of Pride Park can be allocated where fans can place a white flag as a lasting tribute to Mel’s abject surrender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 It just feels very very sore. I could understand if he had lost his fortune or this was taking him down too. He has the money. How?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's make ourselves heard, in the stadium, through our support for Wayne and the team. r_wilcockson, Ted McMinn Football Genius, LazloW and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De22Ram Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Protests dont work to get national media attention! Unless you cause mayhem like these insulate people on the m25! Kicking off about it, while tempting wont do any good ? Were all angry and frustrated, in my opinion the best way to voice our opinion and get media attention is like what that other post says! Fill the ground, sing our hearts out and get behind wayne n the lads!! Edited September 20, 2021 by De22Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SillyBilly Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Mel is yesterday's news, moment he put us into admin is the moment he in effect washed his hands of any responsibility for what comes next. We shouldn't waste any energy on the past now. r_wilcockson, AbuDerbyDave, CollyerDCFC and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst we might disgrace him to the nation… What someone is worth and what they can access are two very different things. You may have 200k house and a 20k car but you don't have 220k until you sell it and clear any credit. Jeff Bezos, is worth 120bn, but only when he sells absolutely everything to do with Amazon. Which would make upwards of probably 100,000 people redundant! And that's assuming everything would sell. I'll bet the 200million spent is the majority of what he can access.
