Steve Waggott

[JHRover]

Expect PR overdrive in the next couple of weeks with stories of how Waggott was a problem and poor old Venkys have decided to address it.

No mention that they employed him for 7.5 years .

The operation now will be to shield the Indians from hassle or attention so looks like Rudy or AN Other are about to be thrown forward as the latest human shield. 

Broughton was doing that quite well until he actually wanted to do his job and build something which was no good at all to these people.

Paul Senior another, skilled in talking and putting on a show to distract from the Venky shitshow, only lasted a few months however, then they hit the jackpot with Uncle Tony.

Who's next...Rudy already starting off on the back foot after the laughably bad interviews a couple of months ago.

So reading that North west business magazine article it sounds like the new model on the horizon is a COO working with Head of Commercial operations to increase increase income.

Presumably via corporate stuff, sponsorship, commercial sales etc.

So what about the football ?   Who runs that the novice Sporting Director ?

Haven't they actually twigged yet that it all revolves around the stuff on the pitch, get that right and everything else will follow.

Our best hope is Waggott hasn't signed an NDA and goes rogue, shining light on just how dysfunctional Rovers are behind the scenes.

Sadly this nightmare doesn't end until the authorities step in.

That's exactly what we want though. He's useless, unbelievably bad at communicating and seemingly quiet dense.

It further adds to our argument that the ownership is not fit for purpose and needs to be removed by any means necessary.

Seemingly quiet dense?

The irony????

Was this revelation that Waggott had outside investment for the women's team sourced in the public domain previously or has it just emerged since the statement he was leaving earlier in the week? Don't recall hearing this before.

Was it really Waggot that brought in Mowbray? Thought Waggot arrived after Mowbray was already in place (seem to remember misgivings about Tony deciding his own boss)

Yeah he's got his timeline a bit off there, Waggot came in after Mowbray.

Very convenient but they were adamant Mowbray had nothing to do with his appointment, I never did believe it.
