You may have started something here 😁: The Shadow of Inquiry In shadows cast by justice’s gaze, A hatchery’s secrets come ablaze, Venkateshwara’s name in the wind, A tale of wealth and law’s stern bind. From distant lands, the whispers grew, Of illicit remittances true, Assets seized in dawn’s cold light, A battle fought in legal fight. Properties lost, dreams in the dust, In pursuit of truth, they place their trust, The enforcement’s watchful eye, Unveiling truths that none deny. A saga of power, money, and law, Where shadows dance with justice’s claw, Yet in the storm, hope’s refrain— That truth shall rise, and wrong’s refrain.

Absolutely correct

Those who wanted Gregg out should be ashamed...look.where we are now With Gregg and JDT and an normal CEO we would had been in the Premier League by now.

I've advocated this before, nothing screams more than emptiness. Nothing to celebrate whilst they remain.

It’s very important to note that Rudy Gestede points out that certain narratives are being created based on individuals’ desire for attention. My advice to those of you who fall for this tactic is the following: think very carefully. And try to read what I’m writing here. I have no insight into the club – of course not. But I do have a perfect example of a narrative created by the club which has no basis in reality. Earlier this summer, a narrative was put forward suggesting that the reason our midfield anchor, Sondre Tronstad, wouldn’t sign a new contract was due to family reasons. This was claimed to be the reason he wouldn’t extend. The problem, however, is that after this narrative was presented, Sondre Tronstad gave a completely ordinary interview in the form of a podcast with a local Norwegian newspaper. In it, he said the following: I want to stay abroad for as long as possible. I’d really like to stay at Rovers, I enjoy it a lot there. I have NOT received any contract offer from Rovers, there have only been some informal conversations. Yet Rudy Gestede continues to go on about “family reasons”. It simply isn’t credible, and it shows – even though it’s just a small example – how Gestede operates. And let me just add that in the same interview, Tronstad was asked about Eustace, about him as a manager and why he left. Tronstad replied that it was said in the media that he left the club for family reasons. He then added that Eustace told the players the real reason. We all know that “family reasons” is a false narrative, but it’s worth reminding ourselves who we’re dealing with.

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'
