wilsdenrover Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago 1 hour ago, Comfortably numb said: Not sure where to post this or if it's already been mentioned, but we appear to be finally stepping up the search for a CEO. Blackburn to step up chief exec search 29 minutes ago By Alan Nixon Blackburn Rovers are to revive their search for a new chief executive. The post has been left vacant for months after an initial round of short listing failed to find a suitable candidate. The position was being reduced to little more than a stadium manager which put off many football figures. However Rovers now realise they need an extra body behind the scenes with more adverse publicity recently over the postponement of a second game. Blackburn have been running with a reduced management team since Steve Waggott moved out but now they will renew the chase for an extra pair of hands. Did I read earlier that a certain someone is supposed to be in India? Coincidence?? I doubt it. Quote

JHRover Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago More window dressing to come then. Panic stations with the humiliation of the pitch and stadium making national news. Solution - invest serious money in sorting the issue out? Oh no But drip a couple of tales to Nixon about spending money in January, looking for a new CEO and getting advice from the Man City/Man Utd consultants - costs nothing but keeps them quiet for a few months. 2 1 Quote

JHRover Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago 1 minute ago, ... said: Made national news where? Well both postponements were all over Sky Sports and football channels/twitter with lots of people questioning why it has happened not once but twice, and apparently the EFL are investigating. This is the sort of heat the shadow dwellers at Ewood don't like - questions and pressure from outside disturbing their comfy existence - and probably the only coverage that risks getting back to India HQ and some questions being asked. Best way to head it off is to drip a few bits to the friendly reporter and nip it in the bud 1 Quote

That's was my overall point, The fact that for the first 7 years of their ownership and for the last 7 months they haven't had any CEO tells us everything. Things only ever happen either when the pressure/relegation threat starts to get significant (Paul Senior, Coyle fired, Mowbray comes in) or when someone gets out to India and has a word. Route one of that is happening right now just as it did in 2016/17 so expect to see more of this for keeping up appearances. Quote
RevidgeBlue Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago No indication from Nicko's piece that anything has changed and that that the new appointment wouldnt still be purely ceremonial. After the debacle of the pitch fiasco, they just want someone to cop the flak the next time the **** hits the fan. Which probably won't be very long. Quote

Ah yes, someone prepared to be a willing patsy for allegedly going rogue for the purposes of a Court case (and then not being sacked) Bit like Broughton taking the blame for catastrophic happenings (and then not getting sacked) Quote

That's was my overall point, If Suhail is still around? Of course he will. He is bullet proof. He is a snake who has been attached to Venkys all this time. We could get a brilliant CEO and he would be set up to fail here. Would be like appointing Pep Guardiola as assistant manager to Steve Kean. Quote

I like said previously, we will see how much power this new CEO appointment by who we actually appoint Quote
roverblue Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Sounds like the role is that dummed down nobody actually wants it. Which means either it stays vacant or we get another no mark like Gestede into the role who has no skills or background in running a football club. 1 Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) 'Failed to find a candidate' What a shambles..nobody wants the job it seems,nobody wants to work under the Punatics. Everything that is wrong with our Club laid bare. Now,NOW is the time for the Coalition(?) to be stepping up the pressure! Edited 1 hour ago by SIMON GARNERS 194 2 Quote

Depending who we will appoint and what sort of level of experience will determine my opinion and whether its just CEO title or whether they do have the sort of responsibility I would expect? No I don't believe the CEO or DoF should have the sole responsible to sack the head coach but it should owner should be involved and back decision in conjection with the CEO and DoF Quote

And you always caution us wait and see what will happen when he Club/owners make a big decision., but the result is always the same----gross disappointment. I expect nothing from them but more disappointment. 1 Quote
Mattyblue Posted 27 minutes ago Posted 27 minutes ago So the opposite of what happens here then. 1 Quote

Tomphil2 Posted 10 minutes ago Posted 10 minutes ago (edited) The only club in the league that expands its club management/head of/corporate positions whilst its non player income is sliding to a new modern day low. Trying to run it like a chicken nugget corporation when it needs a bottom upwards rebuild. WHEN will they realise it ALL revolves around what happens on a playable pitch with a decent team ?
