Steve Bloomer's Washing Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi everyone We're (hopefully) getting the Telegraph's John Percy on SBW for our next episode, where'll he'll fill us in on covering Derby, transfers, being ITK etc. I wanted to throw this one out to you guys - does anyone have any burning questions they've wanted to ask the man most connected to Derby's transfer activity (Alan Nixon aside)? We'll put the best ones to him on the phone tonight. FYI, 'Who are we signing next?' doesn't count. Cheers! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Could you get him to shed some light on where "reported fees" come from for undisclosed deals? It's always quite revealing how the selling clubs local journos report it has higher than the buying clubs local journos, but it would be nice to have some general sense of the accuracy.

thederbyram Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It would be interesting to know if, as a journalist, there's an element of not wanting to put information on Twitter, or whether it's more important to be "first" to report, as opposed to putting the information in the Telegraph and selling the paper? Or maybe his tweeting helps to sell the paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'd be interested to know just what lengths journalists go to to get their information. Do they have a spreadsheet with their number plates on and have spotters? Do they hide under their beds? Do they take a complimentary commemorative gold (plated) Diana coin to their mother's house and grill them for information after softening them up? Or do they simply just ring the player's agent and said agent is more than happy to give them the info and spark a bidding war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Ask him why Alan Nixon calls him a fud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id ask if clubs are all corporate line these days, or if some are still straightforward (careful with sensitive stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 What are your thoughts on the current state of football journalism with the growth of social media and click baiting. Have you felt any pressure from above to get involved and drive through more traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This is a great coup. You guys are doing a fantastic job for us fans. He is probably fairly limited in what he can say... but I'd love to hear any insight he has on the Sam Rush saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Does he ever get contacted directly by any footballer's agents trying to put their client out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 When there is talk about a player being unsettled...possibly going ..having talks (eg Vydra). Where does the information he gets come from? Is it direct? Official? Ie the club..the player, his agent. Or is strong rumours eg other agents, other team's chairmen .. office staff .. player's teammate's???.... or is it all just word of mouth ten times removed?

Nuwtfly Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'd be interested to know what his thoughts are on the current FFP system and whether he thinks it works/doesn't work. He'll have seen the transfer market and the way teams operate change dramatically over the last few years, so it would be interesting to know what his thoughts are on that. Also, isn't he a Forest fan? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
