Mattyblue Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Just not a normal football club. Those long standing employees that remember the BV era must have seen some serious drop in professionalism and basic standards . 2 Quote

I know he is the manager of some Rovers staff at Ewood and they have never even met him. ok, Maybe he didn't moved to the area for the first 12 months for a range of different reasons, but maybe he has now given ParsonBlue's comments. If he is now at Brockhall then you got what you want Edited July 20 by chaddyrovers Quote

(with the correct software etc) This is how it will be justified by the club I know but the club secretary has to sent the paperwork through as he has the access card Quote

Perhaps so but how it wasn't stipulated that he moved before then is bewildering. On match days and the lead up to them the club secretary is one of the most important people at any club. 2 Quote

I had a site manager who was moved out cos he wouldn't moved more locally so they forced him out before 6 months down the line going back to him with another job offer and promotion to regional manager 27 minutes ago, wilsdenrover said: Do we have one of those?

I’ve just looked this up and apparently even this isn’t a necessity (even though Rovers seem to have always previously done this) My main mistake was assuming that Silvester was replaced ‘like for like’ rather than the role seemingly being downgraded. You’d think I’d know better than to do that but there we go 😁😁 Edited July 20 by wilsdenrover 1 Quote

MarkBRFC Posted July 21 Author Posted July 21 Probably because it's just hearsay. Until either club confirms it, we'll just presume there is no game that weekend. Quote
