Even more unprofessional when it’s probably false too. Won’t get another job after this one, only person I’ve seen do this is chansiri at Wednesday (talking to fans and lying on LinkedIn)

Strange departures from non playing staff, experienced players suddenly being moved on without being offered contracts. Young cheap inexperienced "Yes" players being brought in. We've trodden this path before in the dark days of SEM Kentaro and Anderson. Now were left with two men running the club.. Suhail Pasha, who was SEM from day one Rudy Gestede who worked closely with Steve Kean in Australia.. Maybe, just maybe its not over yet...

He will just throw his replies through AI and ask it to correct the English language and make him sound intelligent. Like I will do to this sentence. He will invariably channel his responses through an artificial intelligence model to elevate the linguistic precision and intellectual tone—much in the same manner as I shall with this very statement. Of course, AI was really made for this:- There once was a fellow named Rudy, Whose management bordered on broody. He shouted, not led, Left logic for dead, And ran the place poorly and rudely.

Not sure how professional it is to tell strangers on LinkedIn that players wanted to leave, and got offered contracts but went for more money elsewhere.

On the Rudy replies. key phrase- WITHIN THE CLUB WAGE STRUCTURE. The Pasha wage structure is such that ANY decent player at Rovers can double their wages at 50%+ of clubs in the Championship and not be the top wage earner where they transfer to. Rudy's first language is not English so he either has a damned good ghost writer or he is far more articulate in written English than 90% of native English speaking footballers

Don’t care if Rudy is “communicating” and “being honest” the facts are key players are walking away and the Hyam one on deadline day is a farce. My opinion will not change on him and I hope fans don’t start trusting him again over an interview which he’ll lie in as per (saying this will be an exciting summer)

8th November big sky game 150year anniversary against Derby, don’t go simple, should have a charity match ex players, Dunn, Gallagher, Derbyshire, Hendry etc 100s of fans, bands a fair everything to celebrate 150 years let them report on that and show an empty Ewood and packed pleasington for example

I’m yet to see anyone sound, sign an email off with ‘best’. Always the arrogant goons in my experience. Rudy Gestede proving my point nicely.

Mate have a day off. You don’t sell your stalwart centre half at 7pm with nobody to replace him! We’ve 1 fit senior centre half he’s an absolute fucking idiot!

Shows how thick he is! How can there be wrong facts? Facts by definition cannot be wrong

Why is Gestede wasting his time responding to individual LinkedIn messages and not doing his job or fronting up to actual media/fan scrutiny? It smacks of pettiness and weakness, picking and choosing which catered question to respond to without any risk of repercussion or pressure.

Bloody hell, have things got that desperate. 😁😁

No pressure mate but thousands are waiting for your updates. 😂

I think it’s easy for the influence of confirmation bias to trump everything else. Being able to step back and consider everything on its merits is important but not always easy to do. This only becomes more difficult when the subject is as emotive as the club we all support and want the best for.

I think there needs to be a distinction made between not believing what the club says, and not liking what they say. Some of the rumours people believe because it suits their purpose are mad.

Right it’s getting close to decision time. Should I set my alarm for 5am (when the court starts) or not??

What a plonker.

You’ve answered it yourself, “he’s not the nicest guy” absolutely Suhail and pasha are the problems but this fella is so far out his depth

Exactly this. It’s the same script every year. Wheel the selected puppet out to deflect all the anger and abuse for Pasha/Venkys agenda and once they’ve served their purpose get new puppets in with false talk of a new project. Same cycle, rinse and repeat. Hunt/Anderson, Senior, Shaw, Waggott and Broughton have all played this role before. Gestede is the puppet for this cycle. Once he’s served his purposes it will probably be Owen who they wheel out for the next cycle or get a whole new set of puppets in. We fall for it everytime and meanwhile Pasha continues to execute the Venkys agenda relatively unscathed

I'm absolutely dreading November. Another game to leave disheartened and being laughed at even by the new 'rivals'

As i said many times ....the owners are not in PUNE .....titleholder doesn't mean owners ...this is Mr Pasha's project ..previously he's behind the scenes and as pressure got more...he's been told to take a visible role...... the only way i could make sense of this bollywood drama running 15 years

Arguably the best performance of the season so far albeit against a young Preston team who for some reason don't have an under 21 team. Surprisingly no Matty Litherland for Rovers again and given the fact he hasn't gone out on loan I'm assuming he is injured. We were always in control thought and at 2-0 missed a host of chances and Preston scoring with a few minutes to go set up a nervous finish until Joseph gave us back the two goal cushion. It's been said before about Joseph but he really is a beast. He has a boxer's physique and seems to enjoy the physical side of the game. James Edmondson had a really good game alongside Dunn who, after a couple of indifferent games looked like he was coming back to form. Decandia also played well at centre half. To be truthful it looked too easy for Jake Batty as he didn't need to get out of third gear. I'm really surprised that he didn't get a move yesterday either on loan or permanent. He could well stagnate when he simply has to be challenged more. Overall an enjoyable watch and hopefully this improvement will be carried into league performances.

Is it time to express ourselves again

Bit of an odd one to wank to, no?

It is reasonable to point out (as we all know) that all financial constraints lead to Pune so RG/Pasha/VI (and those on here) are always going to say they are just carrying out orders –to cut expenditure. But surely the unholy triumverate have taken a more drastic decision to cut even further with no attempt to sell a different dream to the owners –one that could see the owners saving some face and exiting (ie promotion). It seems to me that a radical, arbitrary decision (do the owners know?) has been taken to keep wages under 10k and all the other stuff we know in the hope of what? Definitely, not promotion. League position is immaterial we have been told. Then what? One can only conclude it’s with the aim of treading water, maintaining Pasha’s control, massaging RG’s monstrous ego, maintaining agent fees and the whole merry go round of player trading. It would seem that promotion is not in Pasha’s/RG’s interest –I guess if it would lead to new owners then they know the party is over for them. Easier to keep their masters back in Pune in the dark and keep the gravy train flowing. I don’t know where relegation would fit into their thinking. Not a problem the same circus can continue? And then there is the court case. Do they know that things might be coming to a head so better make as much cash as they can while the party is still going?
