WATR (The Rovers Trust)

[G Somerset Rover]

If either of them told me the sky was blue then I’d have to stick my head outside just to check.

[MarkBRFC]

Where are the minutes?

That's just a brief summary of what was discussed.

I'd like to know what Suhail actually said.

[Ossydave]

Fuck me as if this just flashed up on my phone, what a memorable occasion. 

Fucking rat.

Try weekend, what an anti climax

Sounded like WATR did most of the talking and the CEO/COO did a lot of head nodding from that statement. 
Haven’t we been here before? The only difference being that the COO bothered to turn up this time?

'Hello i'm Suhail but i'm not really here i don't really exist, Steve will fill you in on everything, goodnight'

He may as well not have done if this is all they're going to say.

Surely the time for improved communication is long gone? They need politely informing that the only positive outcome now is putting the club up for sale immediately.

Typo

[whalleyrover]

Neither, Waggott, Suhail or Venkys can be trusted. Why expect change now?

The only way forward is new ownership.

 

WE WANT OUR ROVERS BACK

Thanks for update @Mike Grahamand @Miller11

Intrigued as to why he's only just agreed to it?

Wasn't it down to Gestede to improve the Comms? After being lauded as a legend at the last meeting too

Because he is frightening what the supporters are planning. He wants details, to use against the fans.

My basic take on this issue is this UNLESS your a paid up member of WATR you should NOT expect anything by demand!

Be grateful that these supporters do what they do, free and for the love of the club - they do not in anyway deserve criticism or demands by timelines🤬

very true. The WATR is there to represent its membership. 

[Upside Down]

Excellent work getting the shadow man into the picture.

Put pressure on the bastard. Also, his links to Kentaro. Make him feel the heat.

[cesus]

I might be going mad here, but doesn't somebody else have a tiny share in the club? Like 0.1%? If there is a 0.1% are they not privy to the goings on?

Shareholders are entitled to attend the AGM but private companies don’t need to hold one apparently.

Venkys have just under 200 million shares.

Blackburn Council are the next highest with 250.

There’s over 300 shareholders in total.

Since Covid there hasn't been an AGM/Shareholders Meeting just like there haven't been and Supporters Consultation Meetings.

Perhaps that’s when they realised they didn’t have to have one.

Got to agree. They'll talk forever but nothing will come of it. Nothing good anyway.

Got to pressure them to sell. I'd advocate an empty stadium but we've been here before.

I suppose it is some progress, forcing Suhail out of the shadows and letting him know that the heat is coming. In two weeks time we have the Court case and subject to the outcome, that is the time for proper action.

[tomphil]

I wonder how much his own pockets have swelled in that time ?

Hes always been the de facto Chairman if you ask me and there are a lot of questions to asked, some of them of a legal nature.

[RoversClitheroe]

Genuinely want to know on the outcome of the meeting.

The outcome was genuinely just to set up another fan forum?

I thought we were actually going to hold them to account for lack of funding, failed January signings.

Sales of key players and no replacements - hell we're still waiting for Brereton Diaz to be replaced let alone Gallagher.

So I'm struggling to understand why such key things have been missed, we've got a high high chance of being relegated currently so need to be asking tough questions.

Rather than giving Waggott another chance to say "I'll look into it" and then never hearing anything more.

Also, fantastically encouraging to hear that this court case 'old chestnut' is actually a wonderful opportunity to strike a deal whereby our benevolent owners will finally be able to transfer all those millions over that they've been so cruelly stopped from doing due to their (alleged) breaching of actual laws. Thank goodness this long-delayed opportunity is coming round and we will imminently put a stop to flogging off our young prospects, and anyone with a half decent wage, to the first offeror and begin to maintain our stadium, spend a little bit of money on transfers, etc. Exciting times. Roll on the next 14 years of Pasha and Venkys, lets have a chat with them every now and again during that time, which will have absolutely no bearing at all on those in Pune. 

They need to fuck off and stop killing our club. That's all.
