Radiohead - If You Say The Word

Its not the fact that you was right or wrong to want Ismael out. It is the fact that you are so passionate about what you perceive to be a lack of patience and time given to head coaches sacked either 6 months or 12 months in, to the point of wishing one to be relegated, only to then ask for ours to be sacked after 8 games. The definition of hypocrisy. I think United appointed Amorim as a head coach, not as a fortune teller.

There are whispers that Amorim has offered to resign behind the scenes, JDT and Eustace style, as he's not happy with how things are being done there. They aren't going to have much money to play with (relative to their rivals). They will need to move players on and Amorim is expected to turn things around despite all of the chaos. Sound familiar? There are quite a few similarities emerging between the situations at United and Rovers for me. I don't think the state of both clubs today is a coincidence. We can't make direct comparisons, but in relative terms, the decline of both has been stark. Both are an absolute shadow of what they were (I don't mean us being champions). Both have utter clowns at the top who don't give a shit about on field success. Both are being laughed at and are left constantly embarrassed before the football world due to said clowns. Agents have been the winners at both clubs this past decade plus, whilst the clubs turn to crap. Pears to United? You must be joking. (They are welcome to him). Amorim even mentioned Rovers the other day, when he was trying to drum up hope for the future at United. I was surprised to see him bring us up, but he is feeling the heat over their awful League position. It really was a deluded point he was making, given how bad they look. He said something along the lines of there being clubs in Premier League history who were struggling one season, but who then became champions the season after. He cited Leicester as one example, which was correct. Mentioning us in that context was wrong though, as we built up to our title win over a few years. They were very lucky that the bottom three was so poor this season, otherwise they were in real danger of going down. Their club needs serious change at the top, much like ours does. It still bugs me that Wilcox is there. He can work for whoever he likes, I know. It doesn't sit right with me though based on our history. He's working for the 'enemy' as I see it, in a football sense I would love for them to go down next season though and if they do, it will be for similar reasons to why we have gone down (twice) under this lot.

All complicit,all sucking on the same Tit.

He has just won their first trophy for years. They are reasons why their league position is awful which Ange accepted wasn't good enough but he delivered on his target on winning a trophy, yes a trophy, something they are celebrate. clearly didn't read a thing I replied about United situation and what Amorim said at the start of the reign there. His prediction was right and it was say at Sporting when he took over mid season. Ismael proved my wrong with 4 back to back win and something happened at half time during Sheffield Wednesday which turned things around for our season. We were chasing a playoff place I think Watford and Hull were wrong to sack their head coaches as they did and I stand by everything I said every word of it.

Totally. If they had decided to voluntarily relegate a BRFC squad through underfunding it but been open and honest about it, inviting me and every other fan to an open house to communicate why they're such penny pinching cunts it would have been fine.

No surprise at all. You could see this from a mile off, especially with his egregious pension contributions of recent. Good riddance, hopefully the rest of his life is filled with pain and mystery.

Asking for a new CEO is pointless. The only thing that should be demanded is that the club is put up for sale. Also, I don't wish Steve and his family well. He's a parasite on society and I wish nothing other than pain and suffering on him.

Lack of class from the club again. Steve wasn't the problem.

Mismatch tbh.

Will it make a difference to the club? Nah. Not really. Will it make a difference to me seeing that leech miss out on pocketing hundreds of thousand more in ill gotten gains whilst swanning around in a club tie… yes, yes it will.

Of course it could be an issue if he doesn't know what he's doing, that's the whole point he isn't an experienced football administrator. I was referring to if something goes wrong at this end due to poor or incorrect administration the football authorities will then become involved. That's the danger of having novices running the show.

who says there is? what your info on this? what the power struggle been over? Care to elaborate why he is out of depth? Of course you need to communicate with your supporters and stakeholders regular. From your comments I take your CEO doesn't communicate with yourself over what decisions have been, why and what it means for the future. Fair enough. glad to know

Having thought about this a while today I think this might have been planned. They will have known that the announcement about the women's team would cause tremendous backlash. Sacking the CEO who is known to be the target of fan groups - and who is nearing retirement anyway is a win, win. Especially with the money saving element. I'm not fan of Waggot's at all but this feels a little convenient.

cos communicate to your supporters and your stakeholders is important. Does your boss or CEO not communicate to you regular at your workplace? The lack of communication of their decision to the Women's team players was shameful If you are a member of the WATR then asked the chair via email your question

Delighted hehas gone. Someone who has done untold damage to the club imo both deliberately and through incompetence. Glad he's had enough of the pressure of been scapegoated or whatever. Still feel he has escaped far too lightly for his abuse of Rovers as have many before. Problem is the bigger issue still own us. Until they go malice and negligence will reign at Ewood.

A return to the ‘benevolent dictatorship’ model favoured by GlennP and SteB?!

But again, why do you assume that specifically the CEO ie Waggott has total autocracy over that area? Similar to head coaches leaving, putting aside the fact that Lambert did the same before he came. Why are you so sure that they left because of him? Ticketing policies have been consistently shocking, but in the grand scheme of things, it is small fry compared to the owners providing peanuts as transfer budgets in the vast majority of seasons here, interfering to stop multi million sales and pocketing big sales without reinvesting. All clubs have wage bills that totally dwarf ticket money, the properly run ones promote reinvestment and that is how they cut the losses, by selling players continuously at a profit.

A pragmatic response to potential dissent…😆

I very much doubt the likes of Derby are offering more per week to a player like Batth, give or take a grand or two. Think the key to this will be having an option of a further year to get him to stay, at least he knows he's likely to be first choice here when fit.

Suhail is now the COO of Rovers now so that's not an issue Rovers isn't an India company so how could India investigations investigate Rovers paperwork. The owners aren't on the board of directors either. I don't know enough whether they could investigate over here in the UK or not. do you have knowledge of whether they could or not?

I definitely didn't say that about winning a trophy. I just think that for a team so expensively assembled, to have had such a bad league season (like I said, its hard to fathom quite how bad it is, 17th is ridiculous) and having consistently been so poor, I don't get how the powers that be would see Ange as the man to take them forward. I would love to know aside from all the generic spiel, what you have seen from United under Amorim in terms of green shoots to make you think that he is the man to potentially push them on? Have you seen anything at all that his tactics will eventually work? I hope they fail badly and from what I have seen, he is the man to do that so hopefully they keep him. And yes, I did criticise Ismael and would have welcomed a change. You clearly don't understand my point about hypocrisy if that's a counter argument. It is you that is disgusted when a head coach is sacked 6 months, a year or even 2 years in, so it is then a bit rich when at your own club you welcomed a change after 8 games.

Heard he's banned anyone who might be a no vote. Squash the uprising before it starts.

Because a better CEO might have the mindset that he or she can achieve similar results by attempting to increase revenues or at least bums on seats rather than just shrinking the Club and merely cutting costs.
