Me, very interesting and the bit about the structure of the deals makes sense especially as player inflation has always been worse than normal inflation, even now!

Indeed it does, Currie.

The reason the majority of us don't work in the financial sector ;-) ;-)

Maybe so, he gives an insight to how our club is run, explaining the reasons for certain actions.

Desperate for money so sell players, I can do that :roflmao:

I've watched him before, just find him really smarmy and unwatchable

Fair play for coming on but he is a politician in the football World.

Don't trust him at all.

Didn't watch it but gave it a listen on Spotify. Thought it helped my understanding of certain things but also gotta give credit to the club for their two top directors putting themselves in the firing line.
Was educational even if he is a bit political.

He did and along with the Radz one it helped me understand a bit more about the goings on behind the scenes.

I wish more would listen to the two podcasts we dont have to agree with what they say but it might cut down on the amount of cheap shots we read on here which in the main are based on a lack of understanding about how a football club is run.

Catch 22 I suppose.

Yes. Surprised that most of the replies on here were about "What does a CEO do?" The simple answer is just listen to what was posted. Either that or walk away - leave the comments to people that have listened to it.

Finished listening to/watching this, this morning.

Fair play to Kinnear, he fronted up and answered the questions Dan put to him.

I know some don’t like/trust him, but I thought he came across pretty well, explaining aspects that fans perhaps don’t really consider/appreciate when criticising how the club is run.

Well done folks for finding the time to listen to Kinnear's interview.

Maybe an eye-opener for those who haven't watched/listened to it.

Dan is an excellent interviewer & a genuine nice bloke.

Yep, some things never change, different transfer window but the same bullshit.

Forest are new to the EPL after a twenty year absence but seem to be finding lots of available players 8-)

Does seem a bit strange....

Majority of PL clubs are signing players left, right & centre, but we can't find a No.9 or a LB :shock: fans at other clubs experience exciting transfer windows whilst we stutter our way through them & when a signing comes along we think "he could be decent" as with the majority of the ones we sign, we've never heard or haven't seen them play before!

Raphinha, Hernandez & Ben White were delayed surprises :-D

I'm waiting for a signing to take my breath away, a wow factor star, one day. I suspect I'll have a long wait.
