Comrade 86 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I dunno. It's like some folk think that some guy posting a piss-take tweet is going to turn the Wendies into Barcelona. We won't win, lose or draw because Alonso has taken a pot-shot at Chansiri. If we lose, it'll be for the same reasons we've lost the previous 7 games, that is to say, because we've scored less than the opposition. And last time I checked, this guy wasn't even our owner anyway. Also, why does anyone care what a bunch of no-names on social media think of the club? It's all embittered Leeds, Boro and Gump fans making the bulk of the noise anyway. For over a year now, we've also been serially slated by members of the tabloid press who've sought to smear us at evey possible juncture. We've also been painted as FFP dodging cheats who think we're above the rules by know-nothings like Kieran ducking Maguire, a so-called football finance expert who freely admits he grassed us to the EFL. So some of the poo being slung has stuck, in the minds of those who want to believe it's all true at least. So what? At this point in time, I don't give a tuppenny hump what other fans think about Derby nor do I see any need for us to be everybody's second favourite club. With all the other poo we've got going on right now, this kinda crap barely even registers with me. Win Saturday, get shot of Rooney, find a manager who fits the club and whom the players respect, beat the EFL rap, re-build the squad with players who actually want to be at Derby and begin to once again nurture our young talents, not destroy them. There are so many higher priorities right now than our sodding PR profile. IslandExile, uttoxram75, Ellafella and 9 others 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel has dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s & the ink is dry. All we can hope is Trevor Birch does his job and says no way Jose!

And it does quite bother me he doesn't appear to have 2 coins of his own to rub together and has a penchant for running his mouth off/courting press. If it was some 29 year old fan from Chad who also had no dollar pilfering the same claptrap across the web I'd be all in with you. Sadly its the new Chief Exec.

I just can't shake the feeling that the social media stuff is not the way anyone serious would do business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if our potential owner is happy to engage in that kind of behaviour, then he might well turn out to be an embarrassment should the deal be finalised. Would it be too much to ask for our new owner to not need media training before taking the reigns? A strip of gaffer tape over his mouth, and his hands firmly tucked into his old boxing gloves (to stop the tweeting) might be more effective.
