It could easily be any from Rudy, Jagdish (Balaji's son), another family friend who knows nothing about football, or somebody with the right agent connections. 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 Quote

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? Because hes done exactly what they have wanted. Your post reads almost as if Suhail has just become a scapegoat of Waggott's. Quote
chaddyrovers Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 12 minutes ago, roversfan99 said: The poor communication isnt the main worry. Its the continued dreadful running of the club. Will that noticeably change now he has gone? Do you think the club can run normally now with Venkys still here and Suhail/Gestede/Sufi still here? He actually does at least communicate, as bad as he is. Thats how you got that list of staff members you wanted. Suhail the snake hides in the background. Its a continious power struggle at this club, hired goons trying to have their say under the stewardship of negligent cretinous owners. Be surprised if Gestede doesnt get another unwarranted promotion. 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? Quote

Mattyblue Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Yeah poor comms with stakeholders ( 🚨 ) is the issue. 3 Quote

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. 2 Quote

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. 1 Quote
paullarrygher Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 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. 1 Quote

Its great news that hes gone in isolation but it will make little to no difference with the main problem still here. 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. Quote

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. Quote
Proudtobeblue&white Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 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!! 4 Quote

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. Quote

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? 1 Quote

Because a better CEO might have the mindset that he or she can achieve similar results by attempting to increase revenues or at least bums on seats rather than just shrinking the Club and merely cutting costs.

But again, why do you assume that specifically the CEO ie Waggott has total autocracy over that area? Similar to head coaches leaving, putting aside the fact that Lambert did the same before he came. Why are you so sure that they left because of him? Ticketing policies have been consistently shocking, but in the grand scheme of things, it is small fry compared to the owners providing peanuts as transfer budgets in the vast majority of seasons here, interfering to stop multi million sales and pocketing big sales without reinvesting. All clubs have wage bills that totally dwarf ticket money, the properly run ones promote reinvestment and that is how they cut the losses, by selling players continuously at a profit. Quote
Blue blood Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Delighted hehas gone. Someone who has done untold damage to the club imo both deliberately and through incompetence. Glad he's had enough of the pressure of been scapegoated or whatever. Still feel he has escaped far too lightly for his abuse of Rovers as have many before. Problem is the bigger issue still own us. Until they go malice and negligence will reign at Ewood. Quote

Does your boss or CEO not communicate to you regular at your workplace? The lack of communication of their decision to the Women's team players was shameful If you are a member of the WATR then asked the chair via email your question Quote
London blue Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Having thought about this a while today I think this might have been planned. They will have known that the announcement about the women's team would cause tremendous backlash. Sacking the CEO who is known to be the target of fan groups - and who is nearing retirement anyway is a win, win. Especially with the money saving element. I'm not fan of Waggot's at all but this feels a little convenient. 1 Quote

Of course you need to communicate with your supporters and stakeholders regular. From your comments I take your CEO doesn't communicate with yourself over what decisions have been, why and what it means for the future. Fair enough. glad to know Quote
