HeyHudson Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Derby appointed Paul Tyrrell as their new Director of Communications yesterday, but it seems he has a bit of a controversial past, having compared Liverpool fans to the Khmer Rouge and targeting local journalists. For a man who is in charge of communication, it seems like a shocking thing to do. This from JayMcKenna, Chair of the Spirit of Shankly group I know it's all in the past and nothing to do with Derby, but it's not the most squeaky clean appointment the Club has made. Be interesting if they make any statement on it (although I doubt they will) Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21453-new-director-of-communications-a-bit-of-controversy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's no more ill-conceived an analogy than Graham Richards infamous "twin towers" remark. You can see what he meant but it was a poor choice of comparison That Liverpool Echo report is hilarious really - a textbook example of histrionic Liverpool fans making a mountain out of a molehill to compensate for the fact that they have been crap for the past 20 years Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/21453-new-director-of-communications-a-bit-of-controversy/#findComment-943098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's very unusual for liverpool fans to be over sensitive! And I wonder if any legal action was taken after that bloke from the farm's solicitors had looked at it or did he just tell him to grow up and stop being a puff.

Tell em what you're going to tell em, tell em, tell em what you told em. In summary, do an introduction, do the main spiel and then do a recap. Or when talking to scousers, a re-hubcap.

EDIT - also young as I was when I heard that commentary, even I realised at the time what Graham Richards said was pretty awful.
