Tomphil2 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Well we know how paranoid some are at Ewood over protecting their little gravy train so if they are forced to be taken down legally, they're real. 1 Quote
Popular Post glen9mullan Posted 12 hours ago Popular Post Posted 12 hours ago 2 hours ago, Hasta said: I’d need to hear the full call, because I’m fairly sure even Gestede would want to know who he was talking to before going into any of those details regarding players. Plus that negotiating is like what someone on work experience would do 👀 Having heard the full calls, and there are many, to both Suhail and Rudy. The caller clearly states who he is and which clubs he's from etc. The X poster, i'm not sure who it is, but this story emerging has been mentioned on BRFCS before, I guess timing, rainy day, top pocket for better words, is critical given the clubs current state of affairs. Many people are peed off at Rovers, and needle in a haystack springs to mind now, in terms of where the bombs originate from. I suspect given various conversations ive had in the last 12 months, others would have had similar or different ones where more skeletons emerge. To underestimate the true reach of supporters or indeed their intelect has been a trait forever associated with Rovers. Its full hands to the pumps on Boycott saturday, some articles in national press due out Friday/saturday. All we can all do who support this action is keep spreading the word 14 Quote

All we can all do who support this action is keep spreading the word Let’s hope there is some real traction here, with these calls and the boycott. They are still on Twitter at the minute, so as yet, perhaps no legal threats for them to be removed. Hope the press are on to this, as well as the ban. On another note, I did hear from someone who I know personally and who posts on here and is close to the Wharton family, that Crystal Palace described their dealings with the club on Adam’s sale as being amateur.

Ismael, Pasha, Gestede, the owners and the agents, all taking the fans for a ride and some are prepared to sit back and do nothing. 2 Quote
ageoftherover Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago The most egregious part of that call is Gestede calling Pears a "good keeper". That has to qualify as straight up commercial fraud at this point. 3 Quote

London blue Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Given how arrogant he evidently is, this coming out is bringing me joy. To be so horrendous at negotiating that someone literally repeating your price back at you causes you to half that price is... hilarious. He's that dreadful combination of incompetent and confident. Wanker. 2 Quote
Tomphil2 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Kind of backs up what the Peterborough end said about buying Leonard and how they were preparing themselves to pay more. Gestede is just desperate to sell anybody he can, bring money in so he can look good to the owners whilst spending a bit of it again on his united nations cheap punt scheme. What's he getting out of it ? 1 Quote

Mattyblue Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Obviously we knew anyway, but it does lift the curtain to what an unprofessional/out of its depth set-up it is. 1 Quote

Wanker. Imagine employing someone as naive and incompetent as that as your negotiator! He literally gave away all his leverage (and probably his annual salary) in one sentence. Multiply that by the number of deals he’s done. Just who the hell gave this no mark the job? Perhaps we should send him ‘Negotiation for Dummies’ or ‘ The Art of the Deal’.😂😂😂 1 Quote
JHRover Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Oh yeah absolutely. I'm convinced that all three of Pasha, Gestede and previously Waggott are being paid in part based on how much money they save / make for the Indians. Certainly in the cases of Gestede and Waggott I think the Indians only agreed to put them on the payroll on the understanding both would pay for themselves on money saved. 4 Quote

See Kean, Singh, Hunt x2, Agnew, Waggott, Pasha, Rao, Senior, Coyle. We're a vehicle for people who should be nowhere near the Championship / a club of this size - people who wouldn't have got close to equivalent jobs at any other Championship club and haven't after leaving here. 5 Quote

Agree it's a complete farce. Jack Walkers success in business and football was fuelled by hire the best you can get and pay them properly. Then there are no excuses but these lot operate a hire the cheapest friend recommended you can get. And they'll cost you a fortune in the long run in failure, cock ups and pay offs whilst in return you'll get nothing but a declining valueless product. Quote

I'd imagine all of us here wouldn't do good at our jobs if we constantly see negative things about us and our manager/employer talks behind your back etc. I'm not saying he is a world beater but he is a championship standard keeper. it won't help he constantly plays with a different defensive pairing as well. Would Friedel do as well as he did if he had a different defensive line most matches and had negative messages etc? Same for Raya. 1 Quote
Lancaster Rover Posted 33 minutes ago Posted 33 minutes ago To be fair, Raya used to get pelters on here as well 1 Quote

At the moment in our squad nobody stands out like that, hence they aren't worth any money. Not discrediting any of our players as i'm sure under certain conditions they can perform. But how many can perform at the Ewood circus? Evidently not many. I got pelters for saying Ohashi is guff. Just because he presses does not mean he is a good player. Quote
