The link doesn't work for me, the white tab appears to have disappeared on the Fans Forum Section.

Fair enough, obviously been made more difficult to find though as I always went via that route.

So, published then. Eight ‘Chiefs’ and ‘Head Ofs’ for the Fans Forum, if ever there was a neat example of how you stumble upwards at Ewood Park.

No final figure for ST sold, perhaps the magical figure of 9,000 wasn’t even hit.

RG said all the senior pros wanted to leave, hmmm, yeah nothing to worry about there and he will ask about January ‘in due course’, yeah no rush not as if we could be deep in a relegation battle by then or anything.

So all in all the usual deflection and ‘can’t, can’t can’t’

Anyway. What I was alluding to.

The question really is Why did all those senior players suddenly want to leave.

Another set of major coincidences, again ?

The Forum's an utter sham these days in general but FWIW members should if nothing else try and get a straight answer next time about Lynsey Talbot's ambivalent comment that work on a drainage sleeve was due to start "that week".

We've heard nothing whatsoever about it elsewhere  so presumably this isn't taking/never took place.

Yep...perfectly normal.😯

Nothing to see here, happens at most Clubs crys 'the Ego 'Gestede!

They really do take the fans for fools,more front than Blackpool promenade this lot.

They're just bullshitters whose sole purpose is to retain their 'Head of' status, that they have no right to occupy to start with, for as long as possible because they know full well they wouldn't get anywhere near equivalent status at any other Club, in any other league.

One look at their past roles tells us that. Yasir Sufi doing 'community development' roles for Lancs CC and Rovers, next news he's 'head of' commercial.

Shadow man Pasha, I doubt even he knows what his job is these days as his title seems to change every time he speaks, but I'm sure his little kingdom beats driving cars for Balaji or whatever he was doing before coming here (does anyone know yet what his background really is?)

Talbot, once secretary to proper executive staff, by process of elimination finds herself as 'Head of' operations

Gestede, a random ex-player with nothing to do after hanging up his boots, suddenly finds himself 'Head of Football Operations'. His favourite excuse of 'the previous players didn't want to be here' shows him up. He's playing to those who still want to boo those nasty ex players and staff for leaving, without addressing the bigger issue of WHY all our players wanted to leave, which of course (even if true) ultimately comes back to the rotten regime at Ewood.

Truly scary stuff but striving for excellence, growth, improvement has never been on the agenda here.

I'd forgotten Brett Baker even exists

The lesson to learn is that saying the right things and being willing to tolerate the freak show here sees you get a nice title and cushy number, the only inconvenience to which is having to turn up to these sort of meetings and blag your way through it with a litany of excuses and hard luck stories.

there is no ambition at all at rovers,if you want to try and have a go at promotion as a player it`s pointless,they`ll just do anything to stop it,as illustrated in past seasons,so any player who desires playing at a higher level is wasting his time,hence anyone who`s any good will eventually decide to leave as soon as possible

Yes, so the only way to try and keep them is a decent contract in both length and wage but they aren't doing that either.

It'll come to a point where some decent players will leave here for the same or less wages just to go for ambition or the security of a longer contract.
