Anyone volunteering to summarise on this thread? Out and about so won't be able to listen, hoping it'll be on catch up soon after

I *think* the interview was jointly given to DET too. So if you don't want to listen, my impression is that Nicholson will have a write up published at 1pm too.

I'll make some notes for you, @Sidd10! Though judging from the above post, Steve Nicholson is probably more eloquent.

BBC Sounds app. Just plugin headphones and go!

Really good app actually. You can rewind live radio too, so if you miss the start or think 'did he really just say that' you can just skip back q bit.

Cheers.
I do have the sounds app, and in fact was only using it yesterday, on my trip home.  I think I've got some headphones lying about somewhere too!

Now... If you think I can concentrate on listening, whilst simultaneously trying to ensure I get every item on the shopping list, you're giving me more credit than I deserve!  ?

Don't forget, the company has a CEO who should be dealing with such matters.

Hired by?

[Yani P]

Oh ffs just started listening..

Hi Ed..my first selection is... I will Survive by Gloria Gaynor..

[Woodypecker]

I'm appalled too by Me's moves to put the club into admin and for the horrendous consequences - but it will also be interesting if there are strands of the interview that real journalists will explore in relation to EFL/Rick Parry's attitudes and conduct in the saga.

Yes - Mel has taken DCFC from heaven to hell but I make no bones about wanting Rick Parry's head on a stake, as well.

[Yani P]

Currently just waffling through the failed deals

[Yani P]

Now he is moving onto Covid..

[DanS1992]

Just excuses so far.

[Yani P]

Saying he was selling for the cost of the debt. Less than he originally paid for it.

[Yani P]

He isn't going to talk about the EFL..Thats a different story.

But talking about late payment of wages..we were 2 weeks late another club months late..same punishment..he says unless he agrees to leave Derby will never get a fair deal from EFL.

Look forward to reading about it across 50 baited micro articles

[Derbados]

So far we’re 10 minutes in, he’s not apologised for anything yet, taken on any blame and is currently (predictably) ranting about how much the EFL hate him. 

he’s absolutely deluded 

[Yani P]

Football finance model is broken...Mel talking about his challenge about fair deal for rights..top champ game nets 1/20th the money than lowest prem game..

Because I believe with older records no payment needed to broadcast them and also no decent music made after 1978

Quite the claim, and a rubbish one at that.

[Don't Panic]

Its a great question !   Sounds like an MP 

[samwcave]

“It’s absolutely all about COVID” 

answer me this then Mel… why isn’t every other club in admin? 
 

he. Is. Clueless.

Blaming COVID when we’ve spent millions on bang average players and virtually made nothing back..

[Yani P]

Dawes led with that EFL vendetta question by the way..

Why only Derby when Covid hit all clubs?

He is saying lots have parachute payments and it hit the club's who were ambitious lolol
