I repeat, and will continue repeating, Mel Morris should Foxtrot Oscar, and have nothing to do with our Club again. Nobody wants him, but if push came to shove and its liquidation we wouldnt have aclub. Not the Derby that I love anyway.

CBRammette Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I suspect we are all getting our knickers in a twist about an asset transfer for deferred consideration. I would be shocked if the rumours relate to MM being actively involved n management of the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s far worse than that. But indeed that is the question. And my answer stands. Liquidation. Please don't tell me what my response means, are you a mind reader.

Can't get on board with this downplaying of liquidiation. I know what you're saying in that the vast majority will treat the phoenix club exactly as they'd treat the original DCFC, but it would still be absolutely horrible to see us liquidated. Like seeing Pride Park burn down in front of your eyes - it could always be rebuilt but it would be horrific to watch.

Old club dies/new club starts up. It will still play in Derby, it will have the same badge, and it will be called Derby County. I am bowing out now, as I have made my feelings clear.

OK, we might start up a bit higher, but I really don't want to have to go through this if it can be avoided. Good luck to Bury, though. Hope they make it back in their supporters' lifetimes.

It depends upon your perspective on whether an AFC Derby would be 'Derby County'. Personally, I think if Mel was to return it would be akin to some regimes that are so rotten they simply cannot function. You'd have a massively divided fan base to the point that I wouldn't be surprised to see either a mass boycott or violence at the ground, a demoralised playing staff and a coaching staff that would certainly walk away. What would be left? This doesn't even touch the ethics of him actually trying to still play a part in the club's future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles the ram Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I am in my mid 60s and I want to see and shout my lungs out for a Derby County who will still hopefully be playing in the EFL. That's all! Call me a hypocrite but whoever stumps up the money to save us from liquidation I will doff my cap to them,even if it involves MM. A year from now ( please god let us still have a team by then), if MM was 'part' of the financial package, a lot of supporters will still be angry,hurt and exasparated to what he had done to our beloved club, but thankful he did something right in the end. He will never be seen again as a 'fan' in most of our eyes but his lasting legacy could reduce in time the hate directed at him right now. This week Mel do the right thing for all our sakes and make the correct decision (for a change!).UTR IslandExile, Rammy03, Foreveram and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe right, but you would'nt be able to say you were one of the teams to start the league, win 2 1st div titles and play in europe, its prob the older fans that think the history of a club is something special.

PistoldPete Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 There are no circumstances in which I would accept or tolerate the involuntary liquidation and / or expulsion from the League of DCFC, or any further punishments imposed by the EFL.

We're going to have to tolerate further punishment by the EFL if the bids don't meet the threshold for creditor repayment (and arguably rightly so).

For a start we do not know what that threshold is since whatever those rules are the EFL do not publish them. So no I will not accept a punishment based on dodgy rules with no transparency or accountability. Plus our prospects of getting a decent deal on takeover have been sabotaged by the EFL (and Boro ).
