Ambitious Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I can't stand Mel Morris, honestly think putting us into administration when he didn't need to is sickening - especially from a so-called fan of the club. I could not care less about his CBE - as long as I don't ever hear from him or see him again then I will be better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 We need to let it go. We're rid of the major issue at the club (Mr Morris). Enough is enough. Put your energy into backing the players and the manager. r_wilcockson, Gisby, Kathcairns and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mels business failure at DCFC is hugely upsetting but he has been a long time charity donor and despite what anyone says .. he tried with Derby, he failed spectacularly, has been unwise, but to engage in petty spiteful revenge is to me small minded and unworthy. Yuk ! Long time charity donor who left St John’s Ambulance (a charity) £9,000 worse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to live in an echo chamber where we fuel each other’s sense of self righteousness I think this suggestion (the thread) isn’t pleasant but others feel sufficiently aggrieved.. so .. let’s all talk about it and air our opinions. Isn’t that what a forum is for ? ( Even though I am right about everything, obviously) Tyler Durden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knows bloody everything, and I can confirm it is either a) a small, sharp broad-headed nail, or b) a long stitch used to fasten fabrics together temporarily, prior to permanent sewing.

It doesn't make any allegations, or cast any questions over Mel. Certainly makes no accusations. It doesn't even suggest the poster agrees with it. Are people allowed different opinions on here?

Subsequent posters have said they have signed it indicating they agree that Mel Morris has done something wrong sufficient for an honour to be removed. The only thing that Derby county has been found guilty of by any independent body is a breach of an accounting standard . As Mel Morris is not an accountant I would suggest even that breach is not directly his fault. on what possible grounds can any reasonable person allege there is currently any evidence for the honours committee to remove an honour? such a penalty is normally reserved for convicted criminal offenders .. and usually quite serious criminal offences too. I think it is a fair challenge for the poster to ask how is this thread allowed since it is fairly obviously a personal attack by any reasonable interpreatation. hintonsboots and GboroRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Thrust Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Let’s not forget that he was awarded the CBE for his contribution to business and charity. His contribution to charitable causes includes buying a £1.2m robotic surgeon for the Royal Derby Hospital. He also supported the Colin Bloomfield Melanoma Appeal, set up in memory of the BBC Radio Derby broadcaster who died from skin cancer in 2015.
