And just go back a week and if we had beaten Ipswich, its would another different story and Ismael got his tactics spot on against a team should be automatic promotion contenders. 

Chaddy. We'd still be 14th? 

Wow what an impressive manager we have.

Now I know that you won’t explain why you made that strange comment (I presume you misunderstood what Ghost7 was saying,  but as you don’t hold your hand up and admit that like almost everyone else would  I can’t be sure) I will move on. I don’t think I was being unreasonable trying to get clarity.

What is unreasonable, is expecting clarity from Chaddy.

read the comment I reply to, should give you the reply

I have gone back and read the comment - still don't get it how the two things are remotely related.

Yeah if the game had been seen out against Ipswich and Rovers had won - brilliant result....doesn't change any of the crap going on behind the scenes though, does it...?

I believe from memory, that the main post that was taken offence at was one on twitter just after the transfer window closed, were Jackson stated that Suhail had rejected Jacksons/the LTs approach to speak with Rudy Gestede about the transfer window.

Rovers then stated that Jackson had made it personal.  With the issue being that he named Suhail specifically, therefore drawing more unwanted attention to him. 

"This culminated in a recent social media post in which matters became personal"

 

Edit  - If I am misremembering, can someone let me know, apparently Jackson later deleted whatever post it was, so there is no physical evidence of it, just my age addled memory 😉 

I think you're right - and I'm sure that Jackson mentioned it in one of his podcasts as well, around that time.

Seem to remember him namechecking the Radio Lancs guy, as having made a similar request.

[AAK]

If you aren’t happy that’s his email, got a reply off club via emailing him on that suhail.pasha@hotmail.com

[miqaayil]

Guys the lynchpin is Suhail....has been from takeover... Gestede or Vi or even Venkys are just the symptoms ... i personally belief Jackson and Lt shenanigans kicked of the moment Jackson said on X , "Suhail refused the sitdown with gestede" and waggot got booted while pressure mounted on waggot and suhail was mentioned in same sentences .......i won't be surprised if Gestede is linked to Kentaro.....

What would this prick pasha do then if all the fans changed for him too fuck off, non-stop for ninety minutes? Would he ban all the fans?

No doubt, he would try.

He's already made most of them ban themselves.

I wonder if we have now basically reverted back to the original plan whereby Venkys are the legal owners of the club and top up the running cost shortfall every year but aside from that the practical day to day management of the club is 'handled' by a third party - it appears that back at the start the intention was that certain 'consultancy groups' were given that job, nowadays it is the shadow man doing it.

I thought it was interesting / strange when the shadow man mentioned that when it comes to a new CEO it would be India deciding on this and he would simply find out about it when it happened. That stacks with the above - perhaps employing a CEO is a job reserved to the India side of the equation and such an individual is 'their man' on the ground at Ewood, beyond the responsibilities of the management.

Would explain the numerous power struggles and different approaches over the years. One being implemented by the  management group and the other being implemented, albeit at some distance and slow pace, by the legal owners in India.

[Mercer]

I think the behaviour of Rovers through Pasha and Gestede is totally indefensible.

How any supporter can even remotely try to defend Rovers, Pasha and Gestede is, IMO, staggeringly beyond the pale.

IMO, as a club, we are now morally bankrupt.  I think Uncle Jack's legacy is in tatters.

There could be a hint here that they are willing to do an expose.

The Telegraph conducting themselves with dignity and professionalism with what must be an extremely challenging development for them.

Unlike the cowboys running Rovers who wouldn't know the meaning of the word professionalism and continue to drag a once proud institution through the gutter

[lraC]

Perhaps with Glen's permission, the LT could run a story about this.

Yep this is where we are at yet again i think.

'Oh we need a complete reset to realise all the assets, reduce the losses and replace with cheaper younger players to grow for the next firesale' ...., also applies to staff behind the scenes.

Waggot won't agree to such changes all at once so he's out, now who can we call to do this radical restructure ????

The old regime is back in favour and snouts are back in the trough courtesy of the man from the shadows who has always still been in place.

The usual nobhead comments from the have your say section.  Blaming the reporter. These have to be plants surely

Excellent statement from the LT.

Not gone down well with the Club plants in the comments section.

It does feel like a threat of some description, so I wonder what the club will do now.

This could be a very big own goal if the LT take their opportunity.

How much, must they know, that they decided not to publish to retain the harmony?

There has been a long standing assumption that the shadow man is a Venky man. 

To me this appears to be based not on anything concrete but rather a combination of the fact that he has been around the place throughout Venky ownership, that he originates from South Asia, and that he has a direct line to them.

None of the above actually mean he is a Venky man. It would be the natural and logical assumption that he is, but if we think outside the box maybe he isn't a Venky man at all, maybe he's representing other interested parties. 

His Asian origins may just be coincidence, his 'direct line' to them may be a business arrangement for their management of Rovers rather than him being their dogsbody reporting back every now and again.

When we look at things from that angle whilst it may make some feel uncomfortable and might be suggested as implausible it is certainly possible and would stack up with some of the things we have seen. 

If he was the 'broker' that got Venkys to the table, that they trust and always have done, and this is his project, things start to make more sense.

The installation of structures that compete with his little fiefdom - like Mowbray and Venus, Broughton and JDT, Waggott, all to varying degrees handed their own power independent of him - all swept aside. This is how he likes it - just as it was back in 2016/17 after Shaw, Myers and Bowyer had been removed. 

Whose interests was Waggott representing and acting on? I am inclined to say the Indians, as he  was allowed to go out there with Mowbray. I don't think the shadow man has ever liked other people getting a direct line to India and he will stop it whenever he can.

A huge own goal!

Think it shows how little nous and foresight Gestede and Pasha have.
