 its Robert Coar running the club like it was for a period of time of the summer.  

What knowledge makes you said that? 

[wilsdenrover]

The club are way past the point where they can appoint someone and I’ll think ‘let’s see how this goes’

I now assume anyone they bring in will be shit.

Of course I’d be delighted if this person went on to prove me wrong.

Glen Mullan comments on the kidder street podcast said Coar was running the club during the summer

For fucks sake, Burnley Bob is now running Rovers 🙈

[Tomphil2]

Very much doubt Bob is running the show at all more like just filling in the bits of official stuff that Waggot did that Shadowman can't.

I get the overall message and have no problems with that but that first sentence is just a complete and total fucking lie.

[Mattyblue]

Exactly, signings docs and the like as he’s a Companies House named Director.
 

Running the club, no chance, he’s nearly 80, he didn’t even run it back in the day once John Williams came ih.

The abuse is a lie, they think fans criticising their lack of ability to function a football club is abuse

[Mattyblue]

‘Passion’ and ‘standards’ at the club? Where?

[K-Hod]

Let’s raise the standard- aye, shall we start in the boardroom?

Or people from the club not creating fake twitter accounts calling fans ‘spice heads’?

A really sneaky move calling ‘criticism’ ‘abuse’, too.
Abuse is out of order, but criticism, is to be expected.

Just there to cover whatever company rules apply in the absence of a CEO or MD i assume.

There must be some sort of rules that have to be adhered to in title at least.

[Mattyblue]

The players (and manager) must think this is a right mad house… at least they get well paid to be part of it.

Bob Coar running the club?

Good heavens. Things are really getting to comedy club status if there's even a shred of truth to that.

And if there is any truth to it I find myself asking, for the umpteenth time, what on earth does he get out of this sordid arrangement to make it worth his while covering for, assisting and legitimising this disgraceful regime other than a title and his lunch and drinks paid for every other week? Surely at his age and with his history at the club there's more to life than carrying on with this charade?

Answered your own question there

Id imagine maintaining any status he may hold at the FA is his primary motivation.

Any freebies lobbed his way will be a nice little bonus. Might even get paid a relatively tidy sum for signing a few docs every year as well.

Luvvly Jubbly!

[JHRover]

Pretty sure he isn't on the payroll at Rovers, so any perks he gets must be along the lines of comps, a free lunch and the status of being a 'director' although I'm not sure that really carries much prestige or weight in the world these days given the types we've had in the Ewood boardroom in recent years.

Does he do anything with the FA anymore? Can't imagine there's that much benefit to being involved there.

I'd just imagine/hope that a 70 something year old bloke, closely involved back in the days when we were a respectable and professional club, who surely isn't short of a few quid, would perhaps decide that a comfy seat upstairs isn't worth the hassle and more importantly the support and legitimisation he gives to a regime actively dismantling what was once a proud club

People surprise you though.

[Mattyblue]

He does seem to have been wheeled out this season in a far more prominent front of house role in his club tie.

They must think that adds some kind of sheen of respectability and normality to their dysfunctional set up.

Yeah, from a Venky's point of view it's a

" Look the hierarchy who were here before us approve of us type thing".

Whatever he does or doesn't get, he obviously doesn't mind.

He's been doing it long enough without resigning or speaking out against them at any point.

[RevidgeBlue]

Maybe wishful thinking but I wonder if Suhail has decided he doesn't fancy the limited amount of criticism (or in Club speak "abuse") finally coming his way and has retired hurt back to India?

To either direct operations from even further in the background or pursue opportunities elsewhere in the Venky's organisation.

Could that explain the renewal of the search for a new "CEO" with no actual authority?
