So contradictory ffs
They’re having the Derby owner on shortly to discuss how the Bury and Bolton situations can’t happen again
Mel Morris and Derby described by that annoying presenter Jim White an amazing guy and a very well run club
Jeeeez if I had the time I’d be calling in.
The Derby model is a blueprint for what’s wrong with state of our game
Annoyed and sorry for the rant |  |

Hopefully they'll ask him what he'll do next time they end up close to FFP and can't sell the ground to themselves again. |  |

I don't think there's anyone I find more annoying than Jim White.
He comes across as insincere and you can get and yesterday I got no sense of empathy or any kind of attempt to strike a respectful or sombre mood. It was more like 'A club of 150 years is going to die, this is massive news and yippee I get to be the one making history and telling everyone'. |  |

I’m surprised they can keep him sober long enough to host a radio show. |  | | |

Maybe he will ask him if Derby could have survived financially if he had not injected £80 million of cash into the club to prop up a wage bill they would otherwise not have been able to support in their gamble to buy promotion? Or maybe he won't. |  | | |

I’ve just taken the time to text the show that exact question
You and I both know it won’t be asked

Jim White and Sky Sports are some of the biggest c**** going. |  | | |

As if Jim White wasnt annoying enough...
...they have now added Natalie Sawyer to the mix at TalkSport. |  |

I agree with that. He is a self important bag of wind. His clone on Sky who also does that transfer deadline day nonsense is up there with him.
Oh the irony of Sky’s reporting on this, given they are one of the root causes. Mind you, hypocrites like me who have had Sky since it’s start don’t help! [Post edited 28 Aug 2019 12:16]

I wouldn’t say “most “ bit others do act in that way
My point being the Mel Morris being in to discuss a club like Bury going down the pan
Perhaps could’ve had someone like the Accrington Stanley chairman perhaps who can actually relate to certain issues without being contradictory and hiding the fact that he just sold the ground back to themselves for twice the price | |

But they know what Derby have done. Adrian Durham mentioned it in his afternoon show with Gough, that Derby used the stadium buy out to chase the dream. |  |

Even more reason to ask him live on the radio show to discuss the ridiculous things that people like him are willing to do chasing the “dream” whilst watching other clubs going to ruin
It’ll bite Derby on the backside and the likes or Derby once their owners get bored after not being promoted to the promise land | |

Yep. A ridiculously high wage to revenue ratio of 136%, operating losses last year of £30m+ off the back of £20m+ the year before. Their operating losses last year were bigger than their revenue. Hence the need to perform some 'financial gymnastics' through selling their ground to their owner to balance the books (and presumably avoid FFP issues). They're the very definition of unsustainable. |  |

Yep that's fair.
I just don't see how a Derby model is much different to plenty of others, even our own prior to say 2012. | | | |

Crazy really, Sky and Talksport are both handling this in such a horrible way, the circus around the deadlines for Bury and Bolton yesterday was so unreal. |  |

What was our wage to revenue ratio in the early Evans years?
The ground thing, yes, but others have done that or similar. | | | |

I'm with you on that. I thought it was just me that found him a pain. He just shouts and obviously has no idea how badly he comes across. Surely someone should tell him! |  | | |

Doesn't putting Natalie Sawyer on the radio sort of defeat the point!?
Its like putting Raheem Sterling in goal when it comes to 'playing to strengths'. |  | | |

Jim White used to go to Rangers and celtic games when he was younger.
Blokes a wrong’un. |  | | |
