Derby Canary 3 Posted February 5, 2017 Come on Delia,'' let''s be avin you''....out of our Club!A couple of recent wins may placate a few of the fickle fans but realistically you have turned our Club into a shambles.Whatever we thought of Moxey (he was yet another costly wrong appointment) we have now lost two chief execs and a decent chairman under your watch and we are back again to a board without a clue about football.The real problem with our Club sadly remains!

Thisisbabyish 0 Posted February 5, 2017 If I was a successful, multi-millionaire business woman I probably wouldn''t be looking for advice from Derek from Derby on how to run my empire, or any other yokel, poundworld dwelling inbred looking to spew his two-penneth after a few dodgy weeks at the office!

Derby Canary 3 Posted February 5, 2017 It matters not how much money she''s got (that was accumulated from her ability to bake buns/write decent cook books). The fact is she has proven time and time again that she knows nothing about football. As I have said previously this would matter little if she recruited those that did, not from her list of so called celeb friends (politicians/comedians/family) who have generally even failed at what they did. The key people that DID have football knowledge have all left, probably out of acute frustration! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It''s her ability to run a Club, hire and fire appropriate board members/management with which we have an issue! Please don''t tell me that she does not make these decisions, Delia makes the final decision on everything much like Fred Goodwin did for RBS. Unfortunately the end result for both of these ''institutions'' is likely to be the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derby Canary 3 Posted February 5, 2017 When there is a family shareholding in excess of 50% it does not matter a jot whether the other shareholders are happy. Thought you could work that out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted February 5, 2017 Actually it does.Directors would simply resign en masse if they actions were routinely taken that they disagreed with.The idea of a board of directors is to share knowledge, discuss and implement the ideas that arise - otherwise why is there a board of directorsThat you don''t seem to be aware of this might explain many of your other idiotic posts....all of which seem to be attacking the club in some way or another Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derby Canary 3 Posted February 5, 2017 Directors would simply resign en masse..........Did I imagine it or is n''t that exactly what every Director with a modicum of football knowledge (and some others) have done over the past 24 months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted February 5, 2017 I don''t think it is a massive leap to suggest the majority shareholders will have final decision on most things. Of course they surround themselves with directors and other board members to offer advice and expertise, how much notice they choose to take of it is up to them though.I am a tad concerned our board is now three family members and a friend of theirs from outside of football.

Also a spread of knowledge to cover all scenarios. Not just because they are celebrity mates or relations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted February 5, 2017 I would imagine thats what they think theyve done Kingo. And, although you can always find a few clubs doing better at any given moment in time, they have consistently made good decisions to enable the club to fight above its financial weight.

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted February 5, 2017 Sorry Kingo. That was was Fox Derby.If you are in Derby perhaps you could comment on a few of your local clubs who consistently fail to match ours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derby Canary 3 Posted February 5, 2017 Have a look at the League table at the end of the season Nutty! Did you not see the Newcastle game yesterday, played them off the pitch in their own back yard and were extremely unlucky to lose. I will never be a Derby fan but I know good football when I see it!

nutty nigel 7,509 Posted February 5, 2017 Lets not worry about what may or may not happen Derby. Let''s look back over the last few seasons of what HAS happened. I assume you use that to form an opinion rather than pie in the sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
