MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 So people have asked if there's any truth in this rumour. Steve Nicholson replies with "Calls have been made" Then his latest article says "as of last night" So he didn't make any calls. Did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Not sure if it is true or not but I am taking no chances and heading off to the airport now to boo him off the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he’s referring to dcfc calls to the player / agent / club, not his own enquiries of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time that he wasn't a target as far as the Derby telegraph understands I remember it because I watched him for Charlton in play off final and thought he was quality so was gutted when Steve wrote it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it as him making calls to see if there was anything in the rumour? He says "Do you know how tricky it can be to stand these things up" I think it he's saying "calls have been made" by the club to the player or agent then surely that's the rumour being true?!

ollycutts1982 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Steve Nicholson is just about to release his latest exclusive scoop. England are to host the 1966 World Cup. Get you money on England to lift the trophy. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 No matter if Jozwiak are coming are not, the fact that we are actually looking players from Poland is refreshing. Ekstraklasa is a good league where we could find some real gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcfcsr92 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hopefully we have left his number 7 free for a reason so hope it's true and we get this transfer done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this Polish lad will be with us before we play our first League game.

Woodley Ram Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 9 hours ago, plymouthram said: Sack Steve Nicholson, lazy journalism I think people are a bit hard on Steve, he works for a small provincial newspaper and as such has access to one team, who are great at not saying anything about transfer plans, people like Percy and Nicholl work for national papers who have access to any team in the country and as such will have contacts that talk even if some of the information isn't that accurate. As the main sports person for the DT Steve has to provide copy and I don't see anyone complaining about his post match reports, which essentially is what he is paid to provide. as part of that he will pick up what has been said elsewhere about transfers (which nationals all so do). In these current times its unfair to have a go at someone who is just doing their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without every thread banging on about Steve Nicholson (it's becoming like Chris Martin) people have several gripes with him. The Derbyshire Live website is an advert ridden unreadable mess full of non-stories, rehashed vague rumours from 18 months ago and complete clickbait garbage. Whilst you may argue some of this isn't his fault, and it might not be, I'd be surprised if he took a well researched insightful piece of analysis and the higher ups told him to swivel. Second to all of that, is his staunch defence of it all and being rather argumentative with an air of superiority all over social media. I don't know about you, but if the place I was work was making me do something I didn't really want to do and making a mockery of me and my chosen profession, I wouldn't engage with anyone criticising it. I'd shut up and keep my head down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media is changing and I feel that the DT are doing anything they can to stay alive. I like Steve and always have. He’s one of us now and should be treated so.
