I would never have had an issue with Derby fans in the past but there seemed to be so many awful ones about on social media when Mel was deliberately exploiting loopholes, lauding him for finding ways to outmuscle the rest of the Championship and stay just about out of trouble for it.
In reality he moved heaven and earth, taking all sorts of risks, to pay exorbitant sums to a bloke who, as for most of his career, is a hired gun who doesnât really give a ****, and is no longer even any good at football. I hope the whole league learns a lesson from this disastrous strategy.
