Abu Derby

We're going down, and we deserve it. If we're honest, we've been absolutely dreadful. In a huge amount of our games we've barely put up a fight and just rolled over. If I felt the players had given everything and we'd just been out matched, I'd be more okay with it. I still feel we could have given so much more all season. 

Sniff, cheers mate.

I don't know. I've never watched you in league one, suspect we will get used to it after a couple of seasons

Not been to the Abbey Stadium in Cambridge for donkeys years. Should be a hoot. 

Rovrums chairman right now. 

Always worth following Derby's squad. We buy high, sell low & are good for 'cast offs' that inevitably do well under stable & competent management elsewhere. It's the reason we're now skint & flirting with the drop.
Was particularly disappointed we let Evans go, thought he had the makings of a good Championship CB & Malone was nowhere near as bad as some on here thought, think stupidly high wages had a hand in that decision. Bennett had to go for off field reasons really & Pearce barely played.
Others? Marriott would definintely thrive in a Millwall side. Pretty ordinary as a lone man up top in a possession based team but in a side looking to counter with direct passes over the top, he'll bag plenty. Waghorn gets plenty of stick on here but he's another one I could see doing well in a more direct side.

My Sunderland mate thought that too

Everyone can see this but the EFL. 
Until they are removed you will always have clubs pushing to the limit, finding creative ways to balance the books in an attempt to get promoted. 
Owning a Championship club is cutting a hole in your wallet and watching money fall out as you walk. 
How’s it financial “fair” play when 3 clubs have millions chucked at them for failing saying go on, give it another go.

I think we will get 4 points from our remaining games, and can see it coming down to goal difference on the final day. 

We're not down and out but we are in desperate trouble and Preston becomes an even bigger game. If we can't win that it does make me question where we go from there. We're becoming ever more reliant on teams not picking up points than us securing our own safety. If Sheffield Wednesday win today they just need to pick up 2 more points than us in the next 4 games for our final match to be a relegation shootout. I think Rotherham have a solid chance of overhauling us at this point now as well- 4 points from 3 games is gettable for them with the fixtures they have. 

We’ll be back in 22. 

Think the fake shake had sommat to do with it. Couldn’t make it up could you?

We’ll be back in 22. 

That's Alan Brazil now...the previous Alan Brazil wouldn't touch you with a barge pole

Is it time to break this out again yet? 

I’ve heard another 48 hours or certainly before Christmas. 

Roberto Carlos would be a good buy except that he’s going on a bit, however he would have the effect of increasing the average age of the squad. 

One thing we are very good at is ending the winless run of other clubs ?

I think the decision to change so many players after the forest game for the Cardiff game has had an effect on performances. 

We won’t go down....but honestly I hope we do, anything for a change of scenery. It would be a right laugh in Division 3. 

Rotherham score goals - we don’t. That’s the concern. 

Rotherham score goals - we don’t. That’s the concern.

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.
