Episode 123 of the EPL Talk Podcast features an interview with Tom Glick, the President of Derby County FC. Host Kartik Krishnaiyer has a free flowing discussion with Glick, including conversation about why Glick choose to purchase Derby County, what the Rams marketing strategy is, what derby day versus Nottingham Forrest is like, as well as other general English football conversation. We also get a sense of Glick’s background in American sports, and discuss the victory by the Derby County Wolves in US Soccer’s recently completed Development Academy Finals.
Update: During the episode, Tom Glick is referred to as being the chairman of Derby County FC. He is actually the president of Derby County. Their chairman is Andy Appleby, who is also Chairman of General Sports and Entertainment of Rochester, Michigan who were the actual buyers of the club. We regret the error.

Enjoyed the podcast. Newcastle & Boro are big clubs in the North East though.
I like fo follow Derby as I am from Michigan and know of the different buisness ventures of Mr. Glick. I hope to see them in the Premiership within the next couple of years.
Great podcast. Interesting stuff.
I like these middling teams that have great local support.
I was able to talk to him as well and he is a great guy, to talk to the average fan like he does shows the class in the Derby County board room.
