Jackie DeShannon - What The World Needs Now Is Love

I totally agree Dom. The Owner/CEO should run the show and people under them answer to the Owner/CEO. Simple structure is need here Owner/CEO with deputy CEO under that with a couple of directors on the board like Financial director and non-executive directors then the head of department reporting the Owner/CEO and the board. Agree? He's been doing it since he was appointed here COO.

In that case i'm now worried.

So it's a CAO they need to run a specific department not a CEO to run the whole show.

Reform and Brexit voter. Why do they go abroad where they know there's even more more furreiners than at home?

The request made to India for funding several months ago.

Suhail under the CEO so he has someone else to blame but over CEO with all the decision making power.

Eureka! I've found the answer - SALT! Oh yeah.. what was the Question? (How do we get Venkys OUT?)

All by design. There is no interest in negotiating new deals here. A first team player hasn't signed a new contact here since December 2023. Can probably more than halve the wages of them 4 by replacing them with a couple of low cost foreign signings.

Wrexham will double or treble his wages. We have left it too late to negotiate new deals. Fully expect the quartet of Tronstad, Brittain, Travis and Hyam to be sold. To be replaced by loans or older players on 1 year contracts. Venkys out

And they get to vote. Just as an aside, should somebody with ulcerative colitis be eating bacon and sausages ?

Del Shannon - Two Silhouettes

It's like picking up a new book and reading the last page first, we know who dunnit. Watching others getting excited at the thrills and spills of actually reading the thing is comical to us - we know the outcome. Been here many times before with Rovers and the transfer windows, it's pointless even going through the motions. The only new things are the interesting plot twists that explain WHY someone wasn't signed or WHY someone left but it's always Colonel Mustard in the Library who's behind things. 6 candidates for the crime, 3 in Pune and 3 in the boardroom, though I guess that doesn’t quite work now as Professor Plum has left the building. In case you can't wait to get to the last page it ends in tears and frustration and the perpetrator gets off scot free.

The women's youth teams are already based at UClan, York City play at the Uni, small stadium in the middle of an athletics track. York City u23 play there also. Surely we'd be better playing at local clubs in step 2, 3 or 4 with 3g facilities, investing in local infrastructure rather than carting to UClan, who fund Macclesfield and PNE academy.......

Now draw Rovers

Similar to last pre season, let's see what happens instead of tuning into another episode of Jackanory.

You looking forward to seeing what Suhail can do with the commercial side, Chadster?

The answer to this should be along the lines of 'to strengthen the squad as the player won't sign a new contract' but unfortunately it's more likely to be 'to keep overheads being paid and reduce the financial burden on the owners'

…and a load of the fanbase will lap it up.

I said the exact same thing on twitter

The CEO should have accountability for it all. If he wants to delegate it out elsewhere that's fine but the buck stops with him.

They can split the club a million ways if they wish. It’s still supposed to be the CEO in overall control.

This is like something you'd see on the onion. If this is real then I fear for humanity knowing there are people out there who are that thick and ignorant that are walking around free.

Anyone who thinks they wouldn't do this to the mens team as well is living in an alternate reality. They already deliberately relegated the club from the premier league. Get ready for the messaging being put out that the championship is too expensive for the club to compete in and we've got to adjust expectations accordingly. It's coming.
