What on earth makes them think they have the right to pick the LT's reporters for them?

Personally Im not a fan of Jackson's reporting myself, but this is totally unfair, his liveliehood is at risk.

I really hope the LT dont cave in and tell the Club where to stick it and that they will choose their own staff thank you very much.

Well, the transfer window might be closed but one thing this club desperately needs is to sign up a competent CEO.

Seeing them use official club statements like some kind of deranged social media feed to advance their feud with the LT is honestly embarrassing.

Let them keep digging they will eventually get where they belong.

Hopefully Jackson will be able to carry on doing his job covering Rovers, but he won't be allowed access into the ground / training ground under media duties.

You can only imagine that it would have been the 'Suhail has blocked me from doing an interview post-transfer-window', as he name-drops Pasha directly.

What kind of egomaniac acts like this?
Oh yeah, Pasha.

Nah, let them keep digging. I'm interested to see how far they can go.

I still don't understand what Elliott Jackson has done wrong and why he has been banned for. 

I like Elliott and think he has done a good overall job. 

Rovers and LT need to resolved this issue on Monday and sort it out ASAP

The 2nd Rovers statement suggests “this time…it’s personal…”

It sounds like he may have told the truth a bit more than some at Rovers would have liked

If he had stuck to the narrative of exciting transfer window, and greedy snakes, I am sure he would have been left alone

Jack said think big... All this shows me is just how fucking small time things are at the club these days... If you've got that much of time to be getting aggro about a local reporters words then fuck me, tells me everything I need to know. 

 

Gestede is absolute fucking fairy. 

 

[den]

The Club’s concerns about the local sports reporter don’t come close to the concerns that the fans have about the people banning him.

Not even close. Go think about that.

The only resolution to the 'issue' is for the owners to clear off and take their disgraceful henchmen with them.

I had no idea about this story until about 15 minutes ago, just read through 8 pages of posts and the club/LT's statements.

It's another new low for the football club.

• Plummeted out of the top tier of English football due to gross incompetence from owners and senior staff.
• 15 years of the least ambitious ownership in English football, perennial also-rans who also had to spend a year in 3rd tier, because of incompetent ownership and appalling staff appointments.
• Club now run by day-to-day by people with no background and credentials to be operating a prestigious and historic club at this level. 
• Horrible relationship between the fans and owners for 15 years, the owners and directors never once apologising for any of the shite and embarrassment they have forced on the town. Owners must know deep down how problematic it all is as they haven't been back for a decade.
• Yearly admin cock-ups have the entire country laughing at us
• Relegated and completely decimated the womens team to the point they're getting beaten by teams we've never heard of in a regional Sunday league. For the cost of a few hundred grand from our billionaire owners who 'love the club'. They then blamed the fans.
• Last two managers walked out on the club following a moving of goalposts and aforementioned lack of ambition
• Haven't beaten local rivals the entire time we've been owned by Venkys, they're now miles ahead on and off the pitch and an example of how to show ambition and make progress, while we're the opposite.
• 15 years of having absolutely no idea why Venkys own us and don't want to sell us. Never explained why they bought us, never explained why they still own us, so very bizarre.
• Now we've banned the local newspaper for daring to say something that Moscow/Pyongyang didn't like. Whether you think Jackson should get a Pulitzer or whether it should be used for wrapping chips is beside the point. It's pathetic behaviour from a club run by incompetents (I think EJ if anything has been much fairer and more protective of the club than he needed to be, but I don't mind him).
• EDIT -  I forgot to mention that thanks to lack of infrastructure investment from our billionaire owners, we're also no longer able to play home matches if it's raining.

I've had a season ticket every season now since 1998 and if I am absolutely honest, with the exception of the season in League One (which it was a disgrace that we were in) I haven't enjoyed it for probably a decade, I can't really explain why I still go.

Do you think the clubs actions are at all proper ?

[Bronzed A Donis]

I always thought Jackson was basically a meek reporter being fed fluff pieces by the Club, if this trivial stuff is enough to spook them to this extent, Imagine what kind of real dirt and damage a proper investigative journalist could do...which they may have just unleashed on themselves, by inadvertently making Jackson a journalism martyr, (here's hoping)

[Commondore]

I’ll eat my hat if the LT weren’t already under strict instructions from the club leadership to not put Rovers in any kind of negative light, but this is a new low.

Elliott Jackson disguise v Swansea this coming Tuesday:

 

[DE.]

Does seem to suggest there is increasing paranoia and insecurity within certain people at the club.

Waggott only sprung into action if there was unrest in the stands (who could forget the infamous impromptu fan group meeting) - he and Mowbray would lay down the occasional guilt trip and everything would settle down. I don't think Waggott gave the LT a second thought, because he knew as long as he had the fans and the owners onside he was set. The local press was just noise. 

The current regime don't seem to feel that same security.
