Mr Clowes I wish you every success When he mentioned his first match , I guessed Charlie would be his first hero. Nishfan and Curtains 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Clowes is such an unassuming guy. He was at Matlock Friday night. Said a quick hello Pete we have been through a lot as fans but I couldn’t be happier now .

Chester40 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Things I enjoyed... Genuine fan with decades of supporting the team Nice hint of a Derby accent Spoke well of Mel's 'team' Didn't criticise Kirchner Talked about how emotional he was at buying the club Really creating a decent relationship with the EFL Gave credit to Lionel Didn't promise anything but talked about progress and stability. Not much more you could ask for. Hope he stay fairly quiet and enjoy the ride back to the top!

Gritstone Ram Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 He sounds like he knows his football. I started watching Derby around the same time maybe a few years later but Bobby Davison was the man in the 80’s. I was half expecting him to talk in the quietest voice you’ve ever heard and you could hardly make out any thing apart from cruise at 37000 feet. angieram, Elgin_Ram, Rev and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoooMarkWright Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I’ve watched the interview about 3 or 4 times now, it’s absolute brilliant to have such an honourable man in charge. Our saviour looks to have very little ego and is such a massive breath of fresh air compared to the previous car crash. He’s a proper fan, not a fake. Knows his football. I imagine Morris to have read the latest football sports science info then retell it to the press with that annoying smirk. He was like Brent and Dostoyevsky! He’ll listen to others, he won’t run it like a one man toy shop. He has a huge amount of respect for the club. He won’t let us down. We are so, so lucky to have David Clowes as our owner. Thank you!

DRBee Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Great to hear him say " I will be listening to people in all parts of the club" Don't get the impression that Mel Morris did enough of this and it is clear that his team from Clowes Developments are playing a big part. Just as important was his intention to act with integrity and admitting that they won't have all the answers. His tribute to Lionel Pickering was welcome. We are very fortunate to have him as our owner and after all the garbage of the last twelve months it is hard to believe it has turned out like this. In the interview he seems such a genuine, likeable bloke. Owen87ITK, Chester40, Ken Tram and 11 others 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewetube Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I particularly liked the part of the interview where he spoke of shedding a few tears, together with his wife, when it was confirmed his takeover had completed. Also made me laugh when he said about taking his family on holiday to some weird destinations to coincide with Derby's preseason friendlies. Really comes across as a down-to-earth, level-headed, unassuming character who really does have our club’s best interests at heart.

eccles the ram Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Listened again to his interview. His humility and down to earth approach comes over in bucketloads.! I think his tenure will far exceed our expectations. If the team on the pitch can replicate the confidence he exudes we are in for a great few seasons. I don't think he will be around for the long term (he will want to go back to sitting in the North stand) but he will hand over the reins to someone who he believes will have the best intentions of this club. Really excited about this season especially . Expect some ups and downs but we will be there or thereabouts at the end. Thank you again Mr Clowes for putting your money into an iconic club with fantastic and loyal fans.I hope you will enjoy this and a few more seasons at the helm. UTR!
