Love the man. Properly down to earth and humble, but there's a steely determination that's palpable and you can tell what was in part, an act of mercy, has now now morphed into a grander vision. Far from feeling the pressure and weight of fan expectation, the man seems positively enthused. Seems to me he's loving it really and I did worry about that a little. That said, he is a fan himself, so he's every right to feel chuffed!
As for the vision, well it seems that these days more than ever, sustainability is absolutely key to a successful football operation, so to hear him echo that ethos is also really reassuring. It's not sexy, but for me, above and beyond all other considerations, are the checks and balances that ensure we never make the same mistakes again. And talking of mistakes, I really hope I'm not wrong again, as Clowes does seem to me at least to be the perfect custodian for this grand old club of ours. Please can I not be wrong again!
In all seriousness, I do have enormous faith in the man. Listening to him talk, I think it's safe to assume that there won't be the overnight change that some seem to expect, but rather incremental growth, built on solid foundations. I get that some folk want to see us challenging in the Championship straight away*, why wouldn't they, but slow and steady is all music to my ears, as I believe that a more measured and strategic plan is far more likely to yield longer term success, than the bang or bust approach adopted by so many clubs these days. And if Clowes, whose first year losses amounted to £7 million, is prepared to be patient enough to build this club back up the right way, as well as footing the bill, surely the fan base should be too? It's food for thought.
*Irrespective, we do still have a game to negotiate on Saturday and hopefully all the players and coaching staff are fully focussed on that right now, as this is potentially a huge step back towards whence we came and if any supporters are due a party, it's us lot 😋

The bit that makes me blink, is D.C retelling the story of how he got the nod on a London business trip, him and wife welling up in tears on the tube; yep we’ve all been there, it’s that realisation of a special moment just happened, that causes full grown men to blink hard, as something is in their eyes.
Great reminder @BuckoBeast

Stability...Integrity...Progress... 👌

Jeez ,, almost brought tears listening to the above, really puts Saturday into perspective

Thanks, BuckoBeast, that brought it all back - it’s a much easier listen when you know there’s a happy ending! David Clowes, sounding so sincere in offering us a future . I hope we never take for granted what he did in securing DCFC

Emotionally gearing up for the massive weekend ahead 🙏🏻 Again, thank you David for saving our club 

 
 

1st of July.. when the commentary got to that bit, I welled up. Not ashamed of it. Just shows how much a part of me DCFC has been since my first game back in 1961. I don't think I'll be the only one to feel that emotion. 
Always have been, always will be... Derby Till I Die

He is a Notts County fan...

Nothing. Its like betting against your family. Let’s just get out of this god forsaken division. I tried it a few times, it’s like an insurance policy against your emotions. It leaves you’re skint and happy or with a few quid and unhappy.
Either way, it left me feeling either dirty or pee’d off. 😂

Thankfully ours will be, it’s all going to be immaterial come Saturday 🐑 

Not a new video, but the club tweeted it out today. Great watch.
 

None of this means diddly.
It's in our hands, we're at home, we need a point against bottom of the league

Have a look at the Cambridge forum ! Want thd efl  to investigate us for fielding weaker team
That is not going to happen. 
Hasn't there been clubs in recent years that have started the season with a bunch of kids (Reading & Derby?). Later in the season their squads were strengthened significantly, but later opponents had no redress for having had to play a team of different strength,.
There may have been a reason for that you dozy bellend. 

Thankfully ours will be, it’s all going to be immaterial come Saturday 🐑 

It should really make no difference to us, our task is simple. If we have to rely on others after losing at home to bottom of the league, then we wouldn’t deserve to go up after all.

I said as much (that he was tweeting as a Forest fan and club mouth piece), he promptly blocked me!!! 🤣 Think he’s blocked a few rams fans!! 

It's not really a Premier League microcosm - it's a football one, though it is amplified beyond all reason in the premier league.
Footballers and managers exist in an environment where they never have to grow up. They play a game in childhood that someone pays them to do in adulthood, surrounded by similar people and those employed to perfom parental tasks like do the shopping, fix stuff etc.
Whilst this doesn't necessarily apply to all players, there are a lot of children in adult bodies, who never develop emotionally and are used to getting their own way, throwing tantrums etc.
The premier league and media endulge all this like rubbish parents.

Or, of course, it could be the fact that nobody outside of West Bridgford is in any way arsed about a couple of marginal decisions and no one has really paid attention to the clubs faux intimidating tantrum

Jesus H 😂
More than anything, though, it is the spoiled and self-entitled response of a club whose owner has a history of this. It is only three years since Olympiakos, also owned by Evangelos Marinakis, criticised the “darkest days of Greek refereeing ever”. A specific target of that criticism was the president of the “central refereeing committee”, who Olympiakos said they were withdrawing “confidence” in. The individual? Mark Clattenburg, who by 2024 Marinakis had enough confidence in to employ as Forest refereeing consultant.

This is Percy openly acknowledging his loyalties and true colours with regards ourselves. When we as supporters were going through a tough time, he wasn’t so supportive defending our plight, he’s in the same bracket as that over rated accountant; nice to see Percy is feeling it here.
Hope he gets pelters from all angles, his credibility will slip the more he pins his colours to the Forest charade playing out.

Very unfortunate with the disallowed goal today.
However, when they were in the s*** and about to be bought by asset strippers SISU for a pound,  they got a lot of support from Derby as we had previously been their target.
When we were in the s*** and a few months from going under, they gave us a rounding rendition of Derby County die and started throwing s*** at our fans.
So feck em
