Agree. Of course there was money involved. But MM would not want this disclosed 

That's a bold statement

Boss let me off early as long as I go back in Monday.

Presume the Coors is the starter, before a couple of Wainwrights, then moving onto the Doom Bar for the main session?

I should feel pleased about this but for some reason I don't.....

[Chellaston Ram]

When this is over we still need to help bring these clowns down 

[StantonRam]

Rooney is being the bigger man by saying that he will shake Gibson's hand tomorrow, should hopefully help to diffuse any potential trouble, I just hope he spits on that hand first LOL...

I get that.  There is always that little niggle that asks wtf Gibson should get a penny from this, if indeed he has. However, I'm trying to ignore that and focus on the fact we finally (hopefully) get a wriggle on.

Derby have dealt with Boro without fighting a legal battle or having to pay for one.

Even if that feels a bit like a hollow victory, I will take it.

Hopefully derby can beat boro on the pitch.

[Mr Tibbs]

A relief. Hope to see some takeover movement now. 

I’ll never forget what these two bell whackers have put us all through this season though.

Let's ignore Wycombe and hope they just go away.

Perhaps Couhig will fold cheaply now - he’s got no cover

In a bizarre turn, which wouldn't suprise me, it would be so fitting if Mel and Gibson decided to team up and take on and bring down the EFL.

I suspect that will resolve itself fairly quickly now.

It's still outstanding and needing resolved but I doubt the EFL fear Couhig the way they feared Gibson.

If Gibbo had simply caved MM would have had no control over the press release and it would have looked very different   Imho 

[mozza]

One thing for sure, if Mel has had to dip his hand in his pocket, the 'other party' involved will have had a detailed text message..

That did cross my mind...

Off topic, I just googled his image, Couhig looks a lot less Steve Bannon than I thought he would.

First, let me say that it's good news that Gibson and Morris have reached an agreement, particularly if it is sufficient to remove an impediment to a takeover of DCFC. If this also helps to reduce tensions tomorrow, that's no bad thing either. 

I do wonder though how this confidential agreement sits with those Boro fans who claimed that it wasn't about money, it was about principles? How does a private financial settlement address that objective? It doesn't, does it? No admission of "guilt", no public apology, no prostration of Mel Morris on the ground in front of Gibson pleading forgiveness. 

Just admit it was about the money all along and we can move on.
