You should have all of those positions you mention & a board of competent business people who mark the work. We don’t have that. We have Suhail - he is his own boss - the rest are not present or not interested That we have not appointed a CEO yet is evidence of this. Waggott would have been required to give plenty of notice as you always are in those types of positions - this does not catch other clubs out. 6 months and no CEO is a result of an uninterested board of directors.

After it announce he was left, it was 5 months after when he finally left Rovers according to companies house Yes a CEO should have been appoint before start of the season Quote

Without a proper organisational structure, with key departments headed by board directors who are willing and able to challenge each other openly & honestly, what you end up with is the sort of shambolic processes & outcomes we see at Ewood on a regular basis.

But on this occasion you are just wrong. This is not how it happens anywhere else. You share this space with Venkys. I don’t know of any other football club that operates the way you want it to operate. Plus, this all depends on the owner being interested. Ours aren’t.

You seem to still think its imminent and that any appointment if and when it does happen will be anything other than a token gesture. Just to back this up. The 22nd June was when the Sunderland Echo published an article that the ex-black cats CEO Martin Bain was 'close to being appointed' as the new Rovers CEO. Although I'm glad he didn't get the position in the end. That just about sums up the urgency of it all. 1 Quote

JHRover Posted January 3 Posted January 3 The last time they relegated us, back in 2017, they used the January window not to deliver significant improvements to a weak squad or to get rid of the failing manager and give the new guy chance to rectify the mess, instead they offered a token gesture of parachuting in Paul Senior on a consultancy deal. You see this is how these owners and this regime operate. They know all too well that using the January window to address our issues (tick tock) requires solid cash commitment, as does firing a manager with a terrible record. So they'll do neither of those things, instead offering a few short term loans that other clubs don't want. It wouldn't surprise me to see a Paul Senior part II arrive if results don't pick up and quickly. Not a serious, long term appointment but a short term emergency window-dressing appointment of someone good with the media and fans, who can do the routine of walking around the corridors of Ewood before games and listen to concerns/promise milk and honey at an undefined point in the future and calm people down. Sadly plenty will fall for this stunt as they did the last time around but really all it is designed to do is pass time without them addressing the main issues and keeping the culprits protected in the background. 4 1 Quote

Well a number of untruths here, RF99 again! firstly, I said actually that whoever is appoint to the role with tell you what power they have and whether it is a token gesture or not. Secondly, Nixon posted during the summer that we were looking for CEO and the Job description appear online and the role was nothing more than GM role not a CEO role as I posted actually on here. He also said they were no takers for it. So now they are looking for one as reported a couple of weeks ago by him. Quote

Just highlighting that some football clubs don't have a board of directors or small number of directors like Birmingham City of 4 people or Coventry City who have Executive Chairman, Chief Business Officer, Chief Operations Officer on their board of directors the Coventry City board is similar to what I said i would employ if I was the owner of football club Quote
roversfan99 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Exactly. Just take everything exactly as it is without questioning it. We dont need to wait and see on any appointment as to how much power they will have and how much change will be seen. The answer to both if it even happens is none. Nixon is at least earning a bit of money from constant stories from a continious non story for the more gullible to pay for the privelidge of reading. Quote

Maybe saying you were wrong in posting what you did as it was untrue of what I actually said. You obsess about Nicko, you slagged him off but can't resist and comment on his stories, if you don't want to read them, why comment on them Quote
Dreams of 1995 Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) 6 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said: Coventry run it very similar to how would run it. I don’t really give a shite about how Coventry are run or how you would run a club. Your original post I quoted says you “don’t need a board of directors to run a football club”. Every club you have referenced has a board of directors who are involved, informed and interested. Doug King at Cov goes every week. Our owner hasn’t been for 15 years. I won’t respond again because I honestly cannot express how little I care how Chaddyrovers will run a club. I care about Rovers - ours isn’t ran properly and that is very clear. You removed the end of my last post so I’ll repeat it so it sinks in - This point has been twisted anyway. The volume of directors is secondary to the involvement and knowledge of those personnel.
