Its weaker cos other leagues aren't a strong as our league is and your better teams are in champions league, that's what the clubs and UEFA wanted No, I want to give them time to build a team and I think some clubs are far too impatient On Ismael, Yes I did but so did plenty of others. I did cos their performances were poor and I could see our playoff place slippery away. Yourself did plenty of comments on Ismael's early games and you were unhappy about the results. SPURS WON A TROPHY. End of story and that is what Football is about, winning things. On Spurs, their league performances weren't good enough as Ange has said but having a number of key defenders out and attacking players didn't help them plus they win a trophy and got champions League football, Ange set winning a trophy as the aim, and he and the players delivered that. I would take poor league position if we won a trophy, cos you will never forget winning it or being at Stadium celebrating that win with the fans, players and staff.. From your comments you clearly wouldn't. sad really United only made a change during this season and they knew this squad didn't ft how Amorim's style of play and tactics but they accepted that and appoint him. Now its need signings to make his tactics work. Also Amorim warned that this would happened when appointed there and he was right. All what you seem to forget again. The problem started here 12 months when they were indecisive over Ten Hag going or staying, even speaking to a number of different managers about the role including Amorim supposedly.

Im not saying they micromanage everything, as you say they clearly dont care. But they clearly have only one objective, to cut costs. Why though do you focus and place the blame solely on Waggott and not Suhail, if that is your line of thinking?

Until we find out hes already been running it from his laptop via Pasha for a few years. There's a lot gone on in the last few years when before that nothing went on for years so something changed a while back and i've often wondered why, beyond just the court case obviously.

Shell of a club going into our 150th year. Absolute shit fest, well done Coalition. Still hate Loons. Fuck off Pasha and take the Loons with you. Can't wait till you go!!

It is technically possible I suppose that they could appoint someone just as bad or even worse. Id suggest they'd have to go go some though if it was anyone external.

Because some clown will make some monumental cock up at some point then try and cover it up. It's absolutely amazing we didn't end up in trouble when they clearly had a 3rd party running the club in plain sight. They'll not get away with it again and they've had Suhail hiding in the shadows running things but obviously he couldn't have a proper title for years due to whatever. That kind of thing won't go unnoticed nor will the investigations in India, which so far hasn't involved the club, but how long before someone over here wants to investigate BRFC paperwork if some administrative cock up draws attention to the club.

So do you think the owners micromanage the Club from India on a daily basis and Waggott just sat there not doing anything other than what he was specifically told? I'm sure for £300k p.a. (initially) he'd have had a lot more latitude than that and neither do I believe the owners show enough interest in the Club to have that level of involvement.

Balaji's son graduated a few years back - if the plan was to install him in any sort of capacity at Rovers then I think they would have attempted it by now. If it is Gestede/Yasir or any sort of "internal" appointment, then pressure needs to be ramped up massively. Get Pasha gone and we might finally have a chance of getting rid of Venky's.

What power struggle? Between him and Suhail who is still here and doesnt communicate with the (I will use your favourite word) stakeholders at all. Sufi is another incompetent arse kisser getting jobs he is out of his depth in as a result. Run the club properly and you wont need to "communicate with your stakeholders" as no one will care.

You think hes managed 7 years under Venkys reign just doing whatever he wants? I look forward to how well we will now be run now this one bad apple has been removed. I dont get why youve always been keen to pin everything on him and deflect away from the real source. You even put driving away managers specifically on him before. That was happening before he even turned up. Its great news that hes gone in isolation but it will make little to no difference with the main problem still here.

Of course i do but that doesn't alter my point..... that being they'll always install someone here from over there.

Waggott is lazy and as done as he is told for the past 7 years, without rocking the boat. He is not the devious mastermind that you seem to think he is

Yeah poor comms with stakeholders ( 🚨 ) is the issue.

Who apart from you and WATR care whether they communicate? It's whether they do the right thing or not which matters.

Waggott has done exactly what HE'S wanted for years.

How many times have you sat in Suhail’s office and been fed scones?

What is the Fan's Forum take on the coalition out of interest? Are they in or out ?

Waggott did one interview in the 18 months FFS, that isn't communicating with your supporters and stakeholders. No, I don't expected the club to be run differently now he has gone, but the club communication and the PR is a disaster. The way the decision around the axing the Women's team was PR disaster and any Media relations person would take you this. They couldn't even communicate with the Women players over their decision properly, FFS, that's basic stuff. I expected the club to communicate much better and more regular if you want to improve some things. What power struggle? What the issue with Sufi aswell?

Because hes done exactly what they have wanted. Your post reads almost as if Suhail has just become a scapegoat of Waggott's.

I agree that Champions League teams shouldnt drop into the Europa League. But the quality of the Europa League is undoubtedly weaker as a result. You are fixated with the idea of just backing any manager ever, aside from Ismael. A manager only warrants backing if he shows enough to justify that time and those resources. There have been absolutely no signs whatsoever that anything is building under Amorim. His record is worse that Steve Kean, they are 16th in the league. He is stubbornly sticking to a style and formation that doesnt suit the majority of his squad, why that is a positive trait im none the wiser. Im glad they are keeping him because its funny, but he certainly hasnt done enough to warrant millions to spend and another season. Its not like either Spurs or United have slightly underachieved. Its hard to even fathom quite how dreadful they have both been, 16th and 17th in the table, both on less than 40 points with a game to go. On what planet that warrants more time and a big transfer kitty, I do not know. Lets hope they both keep their managers and their woeful form continues into next season because it is certainly very funny.

I think Andy is right cos they will someone with experience but not someone who wants full control. Its will meet EFL requirement. Rudy isn't experience enough for me, If he wants to become as Chief Executive then he needs to go in as deputy CEO somewhere

The likes of Suhail employ them.

https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/80230/steve-waggott-appointed-chief-executive-of-blackburn/p4 Looks like the Charlton fans had Waggott sussed many years before we ever heard of him - and not a Suhail type villain to be typecast as the main culprit in sight. Unbelievable he cost them c£500k for two years of not very much as well. How do people like him keep getting gigs on those sort of salaries?

Surely they would only put their son in the position if the plan was to be ambitious and try to take the club forward I don't know them but they are hardly going to put their son as their face on the ground when they know the majority of the fanbase want them out and leave him to face the supporters anger as they continue to sell anyone of worth and replace with freebies,loans and signings with a fee no greater than £1 million

I watched last night game and it's wasn't the best game for neutral but I am pleased Spurs won it and pleased for Ange who I think some of the media criticism cos he said he wins things in his second season cos he set a target to actually win something over finishing top 4. Ange has played different in knock out games like the League Cup semi final against Liverpool or in the Europa League game against Frankfurt. I think we have seen it already that teams are playing very different currently like Liverpool or Newcastle getting good results Ange accepted that the PL performances haven't been good but they just lifted a trophy and got a champions league place which I'm sure every Spurs would have accepted. Why would you sack him, surely its the time to add 3 or 4 quality signings and build on it not rip it up again I can't comment on the overall quality of the competition as this is the first game I have watched of this competition cos of 2 English teams but I would say that Champions League drop outs shouldn't be entering this competition, They are in the champions League and when they are knock out, they are knock out for the season. You are right that Amorin isn't under pressure at United as Ratcliffe has said previously, they knew this managerial change wasn't a short term appointment and don't forget Amorin didn't want to take charge until this summer cos he knew his tactics and this squad isn't suited to his formation and he said this is formation and he ain't changing it. The board are backing him with some signings and overhaul of the squad, they have already lined up Delap(who has been for talks there) deal from Ipswich and Cunha deal from Wolves, but they need much more than those 2.
