It was my mistake to the extent I thought it was you who'd coined the phrase "witch hunt". Maybe it was chaddy? On checking you actually used the phrase "outright harassment" which imo is equally sensationalist. Why is it a crime to wonder why Forum minutes "appear" to have been edited or doctored or even embellished to make the Club look better? And In what sense does 02G not have the opportunity to comment or defend himself? Im sure he will once he returns from holiday.

Did we have any left footed CBs in 94 - 95? I don’t think we did. -

Agree they don't want relegation. They just don't care if the current plan ends in relegation. If it does then they will just make further cuts. -

Agree with that bit, still dont think they WANT relegation, which imo they're taking a hell of a risk on. -
I think they’re fact that you’ve described it yourself as ‘a witch hunt’ tells its own story. I disagree with a poster being rounded on without the opportunity to defend themselves. As should any right-thinking person. For a good couple of days certain posters have practically been begging Glen to throw O2G under the bus. There is a tone of ‘Go on Glen, name and shame, who should we hate next?’, and I’m glad he clearly has the restraint to have not done so. Whatever people may think of the minute-taking, I got the feeling from a number of posts since the first mention of his being on holiday that they wanted specifically to target O2G for some sort of character assassination. Perhaps my post was an over correction, but as a Mod, I want this place to remain a welcoming place, particularly for Rovers fans, and especially so for those fans who give their time to more than most fans do. I also felt that if K-Hod were to have made a similar post, he would have been accused of nepotism or sticking up for the club or some other nonsense. I was simply trying to nip in the bud any suggestion that O2G has maliciously done anything wrong, and (as I stated) focus ire on the actual wrong-doers. My own takeaway from the most recent minutes is that the mechanism of them being delivered needs to change a bit. As an example: When I take minutes of RT (or other) meetings, I make sure anyone who wants specific things mentioning to write them down in real time and pass to me at the end of the meeting. That way I collate everything agreeable. If anyone wants something omitting that someone else wants mentioning, then tough, it gets mentioned in the interests of honesty unless it specifically needs to be off record.

venkys don`t want promotion,hence val and his team are doing a great job,sign a lot of players from the various 2nd divisions of europe then sell your best players,,it`ll kerp you away from those nasty promotion places,they`ll mosr likely give him a new contract next season for all his good work🤧 -
And "the Club" poorer. Just thinking Ira's theory through - hypothetically if the Club was really owned by agents then you'd have no need to transfer money outside the Club as you already own it. However if Venky's own it but have given unscrupulous types licence to run it on their behalf then you'd need to get money out of the Club to prosper and that's one pretty decent way, to needlessly appoint yourself as agent for the Club on any sale. IF any of the above occurred you'd expect the other appointed Club officials to step in and stop it.

But surely you are interested in reading what the Fans Forum members say happened in the meeting? They will show you the absolute incompetence of Suhail Pasha and the extent that the football club will go to in order to avoid publishing the truth. So please make sure you read the ones I have linked you to. I posted the link because it's been 4 days since they have been on here and you haven't commented on them, which is strange considering their content. Therefore I thought you may not have seen them. You're welcome 👍 Of course feel free to read them in your own time. -

Yes we need better crosses and passes into the box but I think we need just 1 holding midfielder and one getting forward to the box trying to score or playing that final passes. Yesterday our 2 holding midfielders didn't get forward much and try to be goal threat -

Groundbreaking stuff. Identifying an area of weakness and looking at signing players that will resolve that weakness within the set budget. Hope we're ahead of the curve on this, don't want other managers catching on. -

He's pretty much the only person who gives Chaddy the time of day, most can't be arsed anymore -
Im going to "do a chaddy" on this one if you dont mind and refrain from ploughing through those. It still seems odd to me that any Club would need to employ an agent when selling a player. Surely the CEO/Club Secretary etc should be capable of handling it? Is it standard practice within the game do we know?
