Gritstone Tup Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 11 minutes ago, Albert said: It's a negotiating position. If the club needs the ground, Mel can demand whatever he wants. He clearly hates the club, and would let it die for a few extra £s, so there is no leverage on the 'do it to save the club' angle. Taking the position of 'fine, keep the white elephant if you want, it's worthless as a stadium without the club, but the club isn't worthless without Pride Park' gives him something to think about. Really though, I was suspicious of him buying the stadium from the start, this kind of nonsense was always the risk. Was always in it for self enrichment, and when he failed to get us up to sell, he's just asset stripped what little he can and has left the club to die. Correct!

I'm guessing he thinks he can rent it for a few years then charge the club whatever he feels to buy the stadium at a later date, maybe even the full and mythical 80mill. Especially if we got back to the PL at any point too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 May be a song to ‘if you happy and you know it’ If you’ve been ducked over by Mel Morris clap your hands If you’ve been ducked over by Mel Morris clap your hands If you’ve been completely ducked over and you really want to show it if you’ve been ducked over clap your hands.

EraniosSocks Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Just seen someone saying on Twitter, that Radio Derby have mentioned Mel Morris has gone to ground and no one can contact him regarding the status of Pride Park Stadium. Hate is such a strong word and is used to much in todays society. But for the first time in my life I can sincerely say, I hate you Mel Morris. Stronger vocabulary would have been used if it was not blocked. r_wilcockson, strawhillram, Indy and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, MM could sort this in a heartbeat. Honestly, who doesn't hate Mel Morris at this point. To top the list of 'worst owners of Derby County' took some doing. Kirchner clearly tried to negotiate in good faith from the start, but Morris wasn't having any of it. He's going to send this club to the wall to line his own pockets if he has to. Imagine trying to basically extort the council. Seriously, the guy is like the stereotypical bad guy out of children's books at this point. I fully expect to see him finding some way to profit off an orphanage next. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do that he wants to sell the stadium to someone else probably the council. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 3 minutes ago, Derbados said: Ed Dawes stating that Morris has gone to ground, not communicating with anyone regarding the ground. Shameful if true Shameful is being too kind. We're of course not privy to everything going on but it all points to MM blocking the deal with his demands over the ground. If true, and it appears so then shameful doesn't cut the mustard. He's coming across as a self-absorbed, egotistical little dictator. We already have one of them in the news. Hate is a strong word, and I usually only use it talking about marmite but I'm adding Mel to that list if he really is the one factor leading us into oblivion.

As you say Mel could sort this now and is clearly refusing to do so. Miggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts County being founder members of the football league has zero relevance. I know,it was just a bit of sentiment surfacing.I’ll rejoin the miseries now and put it back in place!?
