cos communicate to your supporters and your stakeholders is important. 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

Totally. 

If they had decided to voluntarily relegate a BRFC squad through underfunding it but been open and honest about it, inviting me and every other fan to an open house to communicate why they're such penny pinching cunts it would have been fine.

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. 

 

Explain how what happened could have ended up as good PR?

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. 

If it was planned you'd have written more than a 2 line club statement announcing his departure.

Kean, Agnew, Shaw, Senior, Chesterton, Singh - did any of them leaving really change the trajectory of the club? And if the family read Glenn’s WhatsApp messages, why does it matter which empty suit is in charge here?

There's definately a link between the 2 happenings. Anger over Women's team so throw the fans a distraction bone.

Interesting from tonight's "Coalition" X space.

We had one caller who was brought in by what was alleged the owners to provide a different broadcasting option after they'd claimed they felt the fan pressure was getting too much air time on Sky, whilst they were challenging sky's one sided approach by showing protest during live games etc.

The caller now believes this was Suhail who wanted to send alternate pictures back to India than the ones being beemed by Sky , and he was under strict instruction to film no banners or audio of unrest!!!!l

Absolutely incredible, as in essence wanted to paint a false picture back  to the Raos

So we have enough money for a bodyguard for Waggott at home games, and enough money to film our own games and beam them back to India (assuming this is done professionally with a director / gallery this is NOT cheap), but not enough money to fund the Women's team?

This club is an actual joke.

What is a stakeholder?

Somebody who holds a stake?

Beyond that I'm no wiser than you are. Trendy buzzword for something or other I presume.

It seems to be a new word that has sprung up in recent years. Fair enough communicate with supporters who ultimately pay people's wages and fund the club but not sure who counts as a stakeholder who isn't a supporter. 

[RoverDom]

A stakeholder is just anyone impacted by what you do so supporters are the obvious one but it would also include staff, sponsors, local businesses, residents that live nearby. In our case its largely irrelevant as they all get equally ignored

[Salgados Hair]

Stakeholder. 🙂

The absolute levels some people will go to in order to protect their own self interests. Insane

I have a feeling that may well be the Rovers TV coverage.

I bought a season ticket for Rovers TV with living in Spain and was able to watch all of the league games home and away for £180. When the games were live on Sky, the coverage I got was different, as was the commentary.

Champ, PL clubs approach Alalshikh for investment

Championship clubs and at least one Premier League club have approached Saudi Arabian billionaire Turki Alalshikh seeking investment.

The chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority has a wide range of business interests but has never invested in English football. 

That could be about to change with a growing number of Championship clubs attempting to attract Saudi investors to help them win promotion to the Premier League. 

Alalshikh has become one of the most influential powerbrokers in sport after staging some of boxing's biggest bouts.

Until last week Alalshikh was also the owner of Spanish club Almeria.

He bought the club in a £20m deal in the summer of 2019.

Ownership of the club was transferred to Saudi investment group SMC last Friday.

I've only ever seen Chaddy say it, all the years he has been on here he's never used that word and all of a sudden in the last couple of months he say's it on every other post!

[Vinjay]

Waggott's last act was to arrange 2 pre-season games at Ewood. Foggia and America De Cali.

employees, shareholders, owners, etc (anyone with any interest)

Personally see the term as meaningless "corpospeak" which is designed to make those who cannot think critically, feel like we are all in this together

I would be delighted to upgrade from chickens to turki. 

It won't happen.

I can't imagine Pasha would have been too happy with this being included in the official highlights from the Wednesday game.
