Gee SCREAMER !!

Weirdly having seen a few promotions and relegations over the years - I've been accurate each time to memory apart from when we lost to Blackburn - hope lightning strikes twice and I'm wrong against the same side, as I think the pressure on these players will be to much - they don't have enough character.  Even when most were pretty certain prior to the 06 playoffs we had shot our bolt I thought we would do it.  When we had to beat Millwall to stay in the division I thought we would have no problem.  The difference is those sides had determination and some cohunes and on the whole played to their strengths.
This side really needs to raise it's game over the next two and I don't think they have it in them.  Players out of contract in a few weeks, a kindergarten on the bench and playing week in/ week out and a senior squad amongst that lot that aren't leading by example bar Byrne and Clarke. Shinnie tries but is limited.  Our goals from midfield ratio is shocking and the attack is slightly better.  Finish that off with a manager who seems to offer little in terms of game management and you have another 4 points by my reckoning and we probably need 6-7.
Hope I'm wrong and they dig out 4 points from the next two to keep the wolf from the door.  The spider sense says 1-2 points at best. 
 

3-1. Don't forget the goal difference .  3 points in real terms.

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.

The 36 year old Fernando Llorente who according to Google currently earns 4.5m euros per season playing for udinese in serie A? 
What's he taking him for...is he building a coaching team of really expensive ex strikers? 
Ibrahomovic being lined up as kit man..... ?

A 29-year-old Spanish businessman has acquired Derby County from the English second division. He is a former professional boxer who left his career and has now launched himself into the challenge of football: "A very interesting opportunity has arisen for us, I am moved by challenges and I said why not. I want to make Derby County a success. I have some partners in a holding company and we decided to buy together. I think the response from the fans has been very good, and I have noticed good words. In the end their luck will be mine. I would have understood that they doubted me because of my age but they have not been like this ". He tells us about the competition, he believes that economically it is far above Spain and to prove it he gives us some figures: "The second Spanish division cannot be compared economically with the English one. Any team that rises from the Championship to the Premier has 170 million euros. euros. That is the objective. Second, we received about forty million euros in television rights " The coach is the mythical Wayne Rooney and Erik says that he has been very surprised by his great predisposition and his sense of humour. As for signings, he says he would like to take his countryman Fernando Llorente.
Contrary to saying nothing till the deal was finalised Alonso now intends to take a full page ad in every paper in every geographical location on the planet.
Alright the last bit was added.

Ikechi Anya has really let himself go hasn’t he. 

Last week. You certainly weren't the ' big wave rider from Hawaii' like you promised.

Excuse me?

Who the bloody hell owns it then.  What's going on ? .  No wonder this bloke can buy us for two quid .  The only thing we own seems to be the old baseball ground doors at the Lionel Pickering entrance and Craig Forsyth. The doors are 1.99.

This from a Sheff Wed fan who obviously had a gander last December when he was interested in them .
hmmm - a bit murky to be honest.
 
According to his Linked In he's worked as a marketing person for a bunch of companies - including Real Madrid to be fair, but he managed their events by the looks of it. Before that it's hotels etc. His CV screams employee/freelancer to be honest. It states he's the CEO of WBD Capital, but only has 2 employees listed, and the link to the company website doesn't work. Interestingly, he's listed as a majority shareholder of Muangthong United Football Club, a Thai football club. Finished a masters in sports management in 2018.
 
I dunno - assuming the LinkedIn is legit, he certainly doesn't fill me with confidence. I've met tons of 'startup bros' with delusions of grandeur. Might be wrong, but I get that vibe. Fingers crossed he's the 'face' to a larger family network. That's worked out well for us so far.

I'm not really sure why any business would invest millions of pounds in state of the art facilities on land owned by a third party.  Obviously it can't be picked up and moved.  Perhaps it's a 99 year lease or something .  Even so it seems odd and considerably more expensive overall than utilising space elsewhere that's purchased outright even if it's paid off over a number of years.
 

Clean the dogshit and glass of the Ramarena and sell the whole of moor farm to a developer. Get some cash in for a striker. 
 

Do they get two concussion subs ?

They aren't going down.  I've forgotten about them till we play them.  QPR 2-1 up
