Mel buys the Rams

[i]re: Mel buys the Rams (ellafella)
Anybody who has any doubts about MM as owner just needs to buy into Ramsplayer & watch the full video. A brief resume:

1. As Wristslasher says, this guy is very astute, articulate, grounded, and has a vision for Derby County. He's not just a fan with cash. He is a top executive with vision who loves the Club.

2. He says he has a 3 year plan and he is 14 months into it. It started at the last play-off final.

3. He knows his role: it is to be the Club's de-stressor. he says he was involved before {2008) and learned a lot from his experience. He is now of the firm view that emotion will be kept out of it. He is aware that many have said "will his heart rule his head?".

4. The astute amongst us will have noticed that he started his vision by focussing on the Academy. Not the first team. He knows the Academy is the future and has set a vision for the Academy. He talks with vision about players like Will Hughes and Jordan Ibe being the calibr

Ramondo Thanks Ella - I don't have Ramsplayer and I can't see myself getting it at any point soon, so I have to rely on what I get for free.

It sounds decent, from what you said. We make a lot of decisions based on how we interpret visual and audible signals from people, so there's probably a lot to be gleaned from watching his interview. No doubt I'll get to hear it first hand at some point.

I remain cautious whilst trying not to be negative at the same time. I think it's both right to question as well as for it to be expected and understood - time will tell.

Ramondo, I totally respect your desire to keep an open/cautious mind. Anyway, those lovely people at Derby County have now made the [b]full[/b ] interview available so have a watch.... - view external link
