Makes no difference to me that George has learning difficulties, it's not Gibson he should be writing to. Whoever shared that post is a *** arsehole, same as whoever put it into that kid's head to write it in the first place. It's emotional blackmail and it's just spreading misinformation and hatred towards our club even further. I'm with DZ on this. An adult has stood over this child's shoulder and told them exactly what to write, then made the conscious decision to post it on social media to try and emotionally blackmail Gibson. Would a disabled 11 year old truly understand the ins and outs of this situation and even know who Gibson is? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Ask about dell, Mel Morris and stadium.. then you may have an informed article The most interesting quote from SJ: "If claim has no merit and no chance of success, incoming purchasers will see it that way too. Incoming purchasers who btw have already told MFC they will deal with them financially outside of admin." Derby fan presses SJ on the reasons for admins holding up... "Who engaged the administrator!

It sounds for all the world as if Quantuma are acting solely on behalf of Mel Morris, and everyone else be damned. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

My 10 year old daughter (who is not disabled granted) would be able to talk in great detail about subjects she is interested in.. Also we don't know what disabilities George has. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm led to believe he's washed his hands of this entire situation and is sunning himself in Barbados. I'm certain none of his old friends and colleagues would be giving him the inside line and acting out his wishes - that would be immoral. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think there is potentially more to come from this. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It is emotional blackmail and the situation has been clearly fabricated, if you look at the handwriting its obvious that Wayne Rooney wrote that letter. 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I've never wanted a club to be liquidated, not even Newcastle. But Derby's bahaviour pre and post administration and the stupidity of many of their supporters has changed that. I hope they are ripped apart and relegated to non-league. they are a club of cheats and Karens 2 Link to post Share on other sites
