I agree the claims by Boro and Wycombe should be dropped. Just seem to be piling on while the club is in a mess. The league allowed this to happen, Derby just took advantage.
Was reading about Mel Morris and the mess he got the club into. I know he was chasing a dream, but effectively could have put the club out of business and no impact to him financially
Having seen the Gary Neville piece, the part I agree most with is where he says over ambitious owners should be held to account for the costs incurred while chasing their ego trip. In my opinion, this should be kept separate from the club as an entity.Was reading about Mel Morris and the mess he got the club into.

Almost that if you want to run a football club, you have to do so as a shell business. If you want to buy a £20m player with ongoing costs of £5m wages, you are liable for it. The name and tradition of one of the founding members of the league should not be dragged down and destroyed because of a Willy measuring contest between vain millionaires.
I don’t know enough about business to flesh it out, but these people ought not to be able to walk away while the club they professed to love goes down the tubes. Their mismanagement, their responsibility.
And all the while the league should hang their heads in shame for watching it happen.
Excellent performance from all the lads and now we're 4 points from safety!
Well deserved MOTM for Festy, and a rather promising glimpse at the academy's Ebiowei in the few minutes he had. Watch this space.
Forsyth saying that this is the most exciting time in his 9 seasons with us just goes to reiterate the attitude shown at training and in the dressing room with all everything going on so huge, huge credit to Rooney.
