The gravy train is a bubbling folks!

You can see why the club want to appoint him.

Wouldn’t mind losing him - barely got a game on his loan spell away, not fancied under three managers shame though as he was great for bets on to receive a booking

Yeah, he always seems to be playing within himself.

Venkys might think it's a ringing endorsement though, sounds like it fits their MO. Perfect CEO for Dysfunctional Rovers FC

If they are looking at appointing this former disastrous Sunderland CEO, will the Coalition voice concerns about the appointment or even release anything before it happens?

Logged on for the first time this window. Saw someone seriously link us to Carmo. Logging off.

Don't think Waggott appointed jdt that was Broughton. Waggott had been stumbling in the dark for weeks before.

I reckon Stokes is the only current test match captain who would have bowled having won that toss. For me what has happened in the past isn’t that relevant when the sun is beating down and it’s 30 degrees. The weather forecast over the 5 days was yet another reason to bat first. It’s a thin line between genius and stupidity and Stokes crosses it on a regular basis. Still, I suppose if any team can chase 500 to win in the 4th innings it’s this one.

Noticed the teaser for our story was next to a Sunderland one. Perhaps they can have our last CEO, he'll buy-lease them a brand-as-new coach then realise that's not what the issue is.

On the other hand, Bain was in charge when Sunderland were sold so....🤞

I believe the phrase is, "Champagne tastes, Brown-Ale pockets" Also known as 'Deluded as fuck' / 'In need of a good kicking' / 'Waste of space' About time we started Rovers 1875 between us, as a consortium of ex-players and using a fan subscription basis for funding, and applied for entry into as high a league as we could (hell we could even apply for Blackburn Combination if it meant we could eventually overtake the wastrels and restore the reputation of our town as a footballing tour de force. VENKYS OUT!

Oh, no, no nooooooo!!!!

Just hope certain individuals involved have not been got at and put off.

When I think of John Buckley...meh! A player who never seems to offer enough.

Chaddy, do you genuinely think the CEO of a club has little to no say in decision making? If that was the case, clubs wouldn't ever hire them. I'm happy to defend your point of view of a lot of matters where you get crap for it here, especially in relation to people judging players before they have kicked a ball, but please don't make things up to sugarcoat a potentially incredibly bad decision by the club.

Any update on where the coalition is at? Been very quiet the last couple of months now.

To be fair, his love of fancy cars, watches and suits will endear him to Gestede who seems similarly inclined...

Won’t have that issue here with the 10k cap so we can rule that scenario out

Thanks. I've never seen the Sunderland Documentaries. Sounds like now might be the time to do it.

The guy at Sunderland employed Grayson and allowed him to sign Steele from us AND pay money. I don't care where Steele is now he was rubbish at the time and poor for them as well in league 1. This fella as their CEO presided over possibly the worst era in their modern history but once he'd gone they started climbing back. He'll fit the mould well here as they continue managed decline under the Barnsley model gearing us for league 1.

Yes, hence the David Brent jokes. He seemed ok in the Docu but if you look at what he actually did as CEO he was a disaster. He kept offering ridiculous wages with no relegation clauses, continued to spend despite the reduction in revenue to Championship, appointed Grayson who was a disaster, and in general was more concerned with lining his own pockets and living the fancy CEO life than actually doing his job.
