rufus Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 He ought to accept liability of the Middle Wanderers problem ( any artists to design the Middle Wanderers kit, should be yellow of course) If he would accept liability of Middle Wanderers that would solve everything. He must know they will eventually amount to nothing, probably. Unlikely he will though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimeram Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) He does not care for DCFC. He was in it all for himself and the publicity he got on TV and Talk Sport. I saw him for what he is right from the start, but folk on here would hear no wrong about him because he gave some members a free bacon butty and he was pretending he had a heart and cared about the club, which is utter rubbish. I can't blame folk on here for being taken in by him, he was probably very convincing in his sincerity.

WestStandStartTheBounce Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Mel Morris is responsible for the mess we are in. If he is a Derby supporter then he needs to take some responsibility and do his bit to help sort this out. I doubt it will happen but if he was a true fan he wouldn't be letting this happen. It's time he showed some backbone. Edited January 20, 2022 by WestStandStartTheBounce IslandExile and Gordamn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonwright Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Wonder if he still thinks administration is "very probably" in the best interests of the club? This was from the same interview where he said: "From the moment I announced I was prepared to effectively let the club go for no return to me, that left no room for negotiation." IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO LET IT GO FOR NOTHING WHAT ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION DO YOU NEED. RoyMac5 and RAM1966 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't blame folk on here for being taken in by him, he was probably very convincing in his sincerity. I don't believe that. I believe he started with good intentions - if you're not doing it for the love of the club, you don't pump millions of your own money in, you do what Mike Ashley did at Newcastle. I believe (from things I was told) that he got disillusioned gradually, exacerbated by the Pearson affair, and started to look for a way out sometime after that. He then, apparently, had serious health issues, death of a close friend (I know personally how that can change your outlook on life) and that's when it became "me or them" perhaps. It doesn't excuse the bad decisions, the deterioration of relationships with sponsors, the EFL and other clubs, and ultimately leaving of the club, staff and fans in a dire situation, but it does help to explain some of it. observer, Alph, angieram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
