"Look forward? They already have mate. Every single club!"

Interesting that he lists recruitment as something to look at. It is poor and overpriced recruitment by previous managers that are largely responsible for the recent financial position.

Betty Swollocks reacted to Gaspode in El DerbyCo
The couple of times I've heard him interviewed he's come across as an arrogant whotsit who loves the sound of his own voice. Not doubting his contacts and journalistic skills - just a bit too far up himself for my liking.....

Betty Swollocks reacted to Mihangel in El DerbyCo
He doesn't, none at all. He's a teacher after all, why would he? He does speak some obvious bollards that he isn't pulled up on....
The cheek of it, a journalist asking questions of the very person who may have some answers! Granted, he may not be honest but it's a better start than trawling Sheff Wed forums as per Maguire.

Exactly - not a fan of Conway but he does have contacts and does seem to be right more often than he's wrong. Maguire seems to trawl google and social media for his inside track.....

I don't believe that Maguire has any inside knowledge at all - not sure why people are so keen to hang on every word he utters....

Summary of Athletic article:
Pride Park included in sale.
Alonso family form part of consortium along with several others.
Dad was on Real Madrid board.
Family have experience of football business/ marketing
Morris likely not to be involved moving forward.
Formality it seems of passing EFL test.
Not part of VOX.
Role at Sheffield Wed involved engagement/transparency with fans.
Another good article by Ryan Conway, sounds promising.

More from The Athletic.
It is believed Alonso has sufficient funds in place for the transaction and no debt or borrowing of money would be required for the deal — a welcome relief to Derby fans who have spent the past two seasons weighed down by financial issues. Pride Park Stadium is also part of the deal.

More from The Athletic report...
They say the funds are coming from the Alonso family's personal wealth, plus a consortium of other investors.
So a direct contradiction of Kieran Maguire.
They go on to say they expect the EFL to approve the deal without any hitches.

The Athletic is this morning reporting that Erik has nothing to do with Vox and is stopping them for using his name.

Deporting immigrants who break the law is a standard approach in many countries.
Angela Merkel recently voted against same-sex marriage in the German Parliament, where the ruling party are her Christian Democrats and therefore religiously influenced conservatives.
In my experience it's standard for anyone on the left to label anyone who disagrees with them "far right". It's the nature of the polarized societies we live in, driven in large part by social media algorithms.
I'll judge him as I find him.
