When? I've been hyperventilating into a brown paper bag for 30 years already now. After all, who needs perspective when you can have melodrama? 
What is odd though, is that I'm sure I can recall darker times at the club and yet by some massively strange quirk of fate, the world has just carried on spinning. Go figure... ?‍♂️

It’s not really. We always release our shirt late. Has been that way for years.

New kit announcement coming soon...

I can’t believe how many seem to be going into meltdown, worrying about crowds next season, commenting on the fact there hasn’t been an update on the official site for x number of hours, feeling disengaged etc
Yes, I’d like to know what’s happening with regard to all things Derby but, if there’s a few weeks radio silence then it’s not going to damage my engagement with the club.
The only risk of disengagement for me is with this site. I’ll click on one of the important threads only to see a barrage of new, and increasingly less funny puns. 

I don’t get the big hoohah about its not being published yet. 
there won’t be any surprises in there. Jozefzoon and Carson will be released.  All it will say against wisdom, Davies and Waghorn is that they are out of contact but are negotiating a new deal.

So, per inch Kieran Lee's gives $1 million total. Does your £3.50 really impress us?

No, good god, no. 

Haven't read the thread so apologies if this has been alluded to already, but the Union Berlin model seems to me to be something to aspire to. It was, however, predicated as much upon the unshakeable support of the fans as their financial contributions and with our fanbase descending into the realms of Month Python-like splinter factions, it's hard to see any such endeavour working at Derby.
Let's be honest here. Fan ownership would tear this club apart quicker than any number of poor owners, that's how fickle we've become.

That will be because it is essentially a jumbo sized can. Gone through the same pasteurisation process as a can rather than a keg. 
that’s why cans last up to a year and kegs a couple of months at the most. 

Starting up his own Estate Agents

Excellent translation of the text, however like many transcripts of interviews it is very limited to what it quotes.
In the interview he gives an outline of his background:
His father owned Logroñés football club when he was very young and so being around a football club is normal for him.
He moved to Indonesia when he was 16 for family business, and as he knew the trainer of the national boxing team ( his grandfather was Spanish boxing champion and the trainer also Spanish) he took up the sport to get himself fit. He went on to make 5 professional fights, winning all of them by KO and becoming champion of Indonesia. He became a father at 21 and as he felt that he couldn't give the sport 100% decided to finish.
He moved into the family business in Indonesia of real estate, mainly construction of villas in Bali after studying business.
If he were to buy a club for love it would be Logroñés, but the opportunity to buy DCFC was too interesting to pass up. If however he could buy any club in the world it would be Atlético Madrid.
He spoke to Ramon Calderon recently and they talked about the tie in the European Cup.
The interviewers then asked about the money side of the deal and although he didn't want to give out the numbers for buying the club he did leave them almost speechless with the amount of money in the English game. He is however buying the club with the help of partners he has in a holding.
When asked about the reception he had received from fans he was delighted with the response, although he would have understood if they had said "who's this youngster who has come here and bought our club? What are his intentions?" (@DarkFruitsRam7 and @Millenniumram, your tweets didn't reach him).
They then spoke about Rooney, basically saying what was said in the transcript.
"Is there a Spanish player that you would like to take to Derby County?" was then asked to which he answered Fernando Llorente. After the incredulation of the interwiewers he did say that he had not spoken to Llorente, but that as someone from his region and someone he admires very much he is "the type of player, for his experience and what he would bring" that he would like to sign, but at this moment the club doesn't have that kind of money. However he would be his dream signing.

 
That more or less is the interview. What would I say are my feelings after listening? He is a young man who has known nothing but success. He always gives 100% to whatever he does. He's not in this on his own, but although he didn't say who the other backers are (in no way did he avoid the very brief question, he just didn't elaborate)  or how much input in the day to day running they will have I got the impression that he will be the one running us. He does seem to want nothing but success and does understand how much it could cost. If he has half the success he has had up to now and his ambition would suggest then we're in for quite some ride.
My worries? He may just be too enthusiastic, and although as I said he appears to know the pitfalls, he does seem to drop things when he feels he can't give 100% (take his promising boxing career).
I haven't been to an amusement park in almost 15 years, it looks as though I'm about to go on the biggest and newest there is around.
