Buxtonram Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Did anybody hear the interview between Colin Gibson and Tom Glick on Radio Derby today. What struck me was Gibson, who used to pride himself on not being frightened of upsetting anybody at Derby in his questioning, asking questions that in reality everybody already knew the answers to. This leads me to one of 2 conclusions. a. Gibson is not doing his job properly in asking questions that need answering mainly the future of Brayford and Ward and if sold would Nigel get some money. b. To get an interview the questions are known and approved by Glick and so the slick politician style answers or non-answers are easy to give. All reading will draw their own conclusions but if as I suspect b. is not far off the mark it is a really sad state of affairs for the fans.

Boycie Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Let's be realistic, what did Gibson expect Glick to say " yes we've got a sack of money in reserve, but don't tell the other clubs or they might hold us to ransom" It was a waste of time, except for finding out who may be leaving, which we knew anyway. The maguire bit was embarrassing, what was he supposed to say? That the investors had lost confedence in cloughs scouting network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtonram Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 What questions would of you liked him to ask? I would have liked him to ask about what is the policy if big bids come in for our players. Also if they are will it drag right to the end of the window like last year with Commons. This accidentaly/deliberately allows no time for spending on replacements. He wouldn't rightly have got direct answers but it is fair to ask. My view of the bid for the Wigan striker last year is it was a red herring to appease the fans, as Nigel seemed less than keen in interview. Others may have wanted different ones answering but it struck me how easily he side-stepped the questions. To me he either knew what they were going to be or he is an the same class as Tony Blair or David Cameron in media interview skills because he sounded very good.

Buxtonram Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Gibson has the easiest job in radio, what does he actually do? Not a lot other than a couple of interviews and reading the scores out, which the commentator could surely do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Radio Derby? Is that the station where the "match commentary" tends to include regular weather reports and also some deep discussion on pies while a corner is being taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtonram Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 New year, new moan. No leaves being turned over on this board then. Not a moan just a legitimate question. I thought forums like this were to encourage fans to discuss and debate. Some fans are bound to have concerns, it's not as if we have not been misled plenty of times before. At least forums like this let them know that we are aware of the way they might do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtonram Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 RD's never been the same since the great Graham Richards hung up his microphone. No doubt about that but Gibson is the only guy left really worth listening to, shame if he is now effectively gagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Is this interview anywhere? Presumably Gibson is confident that we won't sell Brayford & Ward. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Derby County must be the only club in the world whose fans analyse the local radio presenter's peformance as enthusiastically as the club's players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
