I'll take your word for it but I struggle to get my head round the concept that anyone could possibly come over worse than Waggott.

Always came over like a dodgy second hand car salesman and all you ever seemed to get out of him at the meetings was either a reason why something couldn't be done or "We weren't aware of that" or "We'll look into it".

I think that's why K- Hod said what he did about it not being high praise.

I think Pasha is as bad as it gets, with no clue on how to run a football club, no concept of how the cost cutting impacts on the chances of the team and is also frightened to death of confrontation

Waggott was all you describe and probably a bit more, but Pasha is a whole lot worse and a whole lot more devious and damaging.

Poster above this, had nailed it, but to confirm- I never rated Steve Waggott at all, but I still think he had more about him than Suhail Pasha, so that should hopefully clear up any doubt about my feelings on Suhail Pasha.

Now where’s that clip of Mick McCarthy?

What about anyone visiting the memorial garden? my late father, season ticket holder for many years, 60 cup final attendee, and the reason for my 55 yr love affair with the club (last 15 yrs not so much) has a plot in there which my 86 yr old mother visits regularly, and parks as close to it as she can, is she going to be billed every time she goes?? 

I emailed the club yesterday about this, and to be fair I have received a response saying that there's an iPad in the Blackburn end reception where you can put your reg in for 3hrs free parking on non-match days, I have replied saying they need to communicate this more widely before they start implementing the charges.

Any news on when the meeting notes will be available?

Everyone in Spain.

Be a couple of weeks before anyone can edit them.

I know you said early this week, so clearly there is a hold up.

Given the feedback on social media, I am jumping to the conclusion that the club, are not happy with something and that’s caused a delay. 

I know you are caught between a rock and a hard place here, but have you any comment to make at this stage?

[RevidgeBlue]

Just a box ticking exercise from the Club's point of view.

The longer the release of the minutes is delayed the greater the chance that anything vaguely unpopular and controversial will either have been partly forgotten about and yesterday's chip shop paper or superceded by events and fairly irrelevant.

[only2garners]

There is a delay as must be obvious. I'd rather not comment at this stage otherwise.

[roverblue]

These meetings feel far too secretive from my perspective and it comes across like club censorship and a lack of transparency.

If the club are happy to drag this out every time then I don’t see why the agreement for those that attend not to comment beforehand is torn up.

[roversfan99]

Hard to argue with that.

A meeting took place and minutes were sent to the club. There shouldnt be a delay from there unless they are trying to mislead.

Cheers I had assumed so.

Has it gone through iterations already?

Or are they coming to you to make more changes and agree on them?

Fair enough. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on and I understand your reluctance to comment further. 

[Forever Blue]

The control-freakery and paranoia at the club must be toxic. Makes you long for the days of Waggott. Things, as is being proved, can always get worse.

Don't be silly.

Knew that was coming.

Basically, none of the paranoia or anything said above bears out reality.

Please simmer down, ta.

It is the lack of communication, that causes the paranoia.

Nothing said above?

So to clarify, the club were perfectly happy with the minutes, but there is a delay for some other reason?

It’s all rosy down at Ewood.

All hail the Venkys!

The state of that sign!

That’s a poor faith comment, K-Hod is far from overly positive and never an apologist for the owners but he’d also be fair with the truth
