Boro v Derby: some bizarre ideas from the Derby fans forum.....

Thing is the idea that it is Middlesbrough who are preventing the takeover of Derby and hence dooming Derby is now entrenched in the minds of Derby fans. We are not going to change that. I still think Gibson should withdraw his claim now before Boros image is hit even more. As it is Gibson has gone from being the one everyone wants to being the destroyer of other teams.
Load of rubbish. That's because the Derby fans have been taken for a ride for so long by Doctor Eggman, there are even fans still on their forums sympathetic towards him. This is a bloke who wouldn't pay the tax bill and is now holding them to ransom for a stadium worth at least twice our (reported) claim. If MM drags his heels they'll be destroyed with or without us and Wycombe.

I know but my point was that Derby fans are entrenched in thinking Gibson is the one preventing their sale. If Gibson steps back now from his claim they will see the reality.

they were already looking to scapegoat, anyone they could. It was inevitable as soon as it got out about the arbitration case that we would be blamed. Regardless of what Gibson did or didn't do. In a post truth, social media age, emotion wins the war before truth even gets out of bed and puts it's clothes on.

Derby fans entrenched themselves on Morris's side a long time ago against Gibson, this is their easy way to blame someone without individually looking at themselves and why they didn't heed Gibson's warning about what was happening to their club.

They've convinced themselves the only way out of the legal block it that Gibson relinquishes his claim. But there are other possible ways out:
1 - the interested parties cut out Morris and admin and directly deal with Gibson. this appears to actually be in motion, possibly instigated by Gibson
2 - Mel agrees to arbitration with Gibson immediately to resolve the matter
3 - Mel accepts wrong doing and pays Gibson off to drop his claim

Options 2 and 3, are the responsibility of the person that got Derby into debt, got them points deductions, sold their ground, and pulled the plug unilaterally. so it's his moral duty to find a solution. Gibson has no responsibility to Derby County, Mel Morris, or even Derby's fans. His responsibility is to Boro fans, and dropping a claim that he believes is just, is at odds with doing the best for Boro.

So my point to all Derby fans, is let Mel pick up his own dogsh!t, don't ask Gibson to do it for him.

I doubt that mate. They've still got the word "Bamford" as an insult on their forum when he last played for them 8 years ago as a 19-year old kid.

"We're Derby County, we'll do what we want" anyone? Their fans are bound to come up here and make absolute fools of themselves whatever happens. Hell they've done it before without any of this mess. No one should be pandering to the bitter idiots in their fanbase. I'm sure there are plenty of sensible Derby fans but empty vessels and all that.

The only thing image is important to are those who are buying your product, and most of those think Gibson is doing the right thing, not all but most, from what I can see.
 
I really want us to drop this, everything is looking so bright apart from this, we are in the middle of a revolution under wilder, this stuff is a major distraction.
