Abu Derby Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I’d choose the candidate with the largest financial resources. It’s not only about saving the club, it’s about having the resources to get us back to the top. Someone who is considerably richer than Mel is required. Enter that sheikh bloke.

Last season was all about sticking it to the EFL but next season on -15 points, it will be down to the new owner. No group of players will put in 100% every week when it's the owners fault and the fans will throw the towel in also. But the "bring Mike Ashley in" brigade don't see it. 15 points deduction next season will mean League Two the following season. It’s also the dispiriting sense that every Saturday is a fight for survival rather than a sporting contest.

I notice they are no longer calling us “Wayne Rooney’s” Derby. Wazza and Stretford are not saying a word at the moment. P.S . Prem fixtures are out in the morning. Lots of predictions flying about.

Surely a tear to the eye as an octogenarian legend duets with a former Scottish fan’s favourite central back. Amazingly gracing the City Ground turf and segueing to a rousing chorus of his ditty celebrating that part of Argyll that is now part of Notts ?

Thanks for the loving Hinton, I gather this is down to Steve Morgan and him appearing to be having talks, If this goes ahead then the information was down to a friend and not myself, I only passed the info on, Not ITK anymore and haven't been for a loooong time.

Now Ashley is refusing to pay the fees from that point onwards as it’s ‘shady business practice’ He has really got you sucked in to his media campaign against the administrators,just because they won't dance to his tune doesn't mean it is "shady business practice" . Was that Ashleys comment or is it yours,if it's yours i hope you have proof. May Contain Nuts and i-Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second time around in the depths of November with 15,000 at home v Accrington Stanley will be less so... jono and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, Albert said: Let's not pretend increased revenues were going to stop teams bending the rules; they'd just be even more empowered to do so. Morris likely pushed for the changes as he stared down the financial blackhole he created, and when that failed, he left us to die, as we've seen. The man clearly has no idea how finance in football works, as has been laid bare by this whole fiasco, and he lacks the honour to clean up the mess that he created. Does anyone really believe that his push for more TV revenue was based on anything but fantasy at this point? Agreed. But also when he reached the stage when his losses became uncomfortable for him he changed overnight from the benevolent benefactor who promised to do for Derby what the Coates had done for Stoke. He stopped talking to us and didn’t tell us that he was no longer covering his losses. Only he and Pearce knew the seriousness of the situation he had created. We knew things weren’t what they used to be but the sudden unannounced fall into administration was shocking and humiliating. Even Rooney found out through watching Sky. He filed late on a Friday and then buried his head in the sand like an ostrich. It was like the man who hadn’t paid his mortgage for months and who had stopped opening the letters from the bank, answering the door to the bailiffs and handing them the keys. It was extremely cowardly and that I am afraid is the measure of the man. Only in this case the charlatan got to keep the house.

StaffsRam Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 6 hours ago, Woodypecker said: but....the EFL resented very deeply the Mel Morris criticism (interference?) over low media revenues, and his aim to multiply the paltry EFL TV deal from putative competitors to Sky, upon renewal - it made him a target. Other clubs chickened out of the breakaway as MM suggested, instead of still picking up crumbs from Sky TV's dog-dish, so MM became a marked man - and the (new) EFL TV deal remained paltry. Not making MM out to be a hero, of course he became a destructive ogre - but those same EFL issues remain: low revenues, and the 'parachute' imbalance - which impels owners to go for broke on FFP and P&S. Even the most evil of folks could have some redeemable qualities or achievements if you dig down deep enough. I mean, Adolf worked wonders for the German rail infrastructure.
