Of course, if this brings us success, all of that will be forgotten! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Best of luck Derby County. Morris gave them commitment and stability. Gut tells me Alonso may not over time. Interesting to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to know what substance, if any, there is behind him and what his plans are. I think most Derby fans are in the same place : we know that a change of ownership is needed, due to Mel Morris recent ill-health and his long-held desire to have someone else to share the financial burden with, but are understandably concerned that we don't end up with another Cap'n Bob or Three Amigos combination of crookedness and incompetence. I don't know if there's any truth in the "imminent Administration" claim, since Morris was reported to have secured funding to get us through to the end of the season, but with no new actual income, nothing can be certain (I'm sure there's a few other EFL clubs teetering on the brink too). We really just need to have the ownership uncertainty put behind us, along with this hellish season. It's bad enough not being able to go to the pub without your football team sucking what little joy you have left out of you, week-by-week. I expect the EFL will now drag their heels with approving the t/o so they get to slap a 12 point deduction on us after all. Alonso doesn't appear to have any money so you can only presume he's heading a consortium, difficult to gauge the future until you find out who they are. Good luck, you never know it might turn out okay, don't wish our predicament on any club........pray for us, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was doing a really good job with Derby. Particularly the commercial side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
