Finding out by email because it was about to hit the press ... 😧

Maybe we should take a look at his other title?

We should just start calling the Riverside “The Tony Parkes Stand” even if the club won’t.

I deleted " ... oh wait" off the end when I wrote it 🙂

It was my first thought too tbh, but it's such an easy rule to get around, the NDA for starters will have a clause in it about unfair dismissal. It's such an easy rule to get around, I doubt even Rovers could stuff it up 🙂

It's not, it's been split into 3 roles so they're fine.

It's usually when you leave, to keep you quiet, it also usually says you won't go after them for unfair or constructive dismissal, in exchange for a better redundancy package.

If you click the thread title it should take you to the latest unread comments for that thread.

He was at a Q&A session with fans last year and made no secret that he was there to shadow Waggott and because CEO of a football club , someone asked if that was Rovers and he said something like maybe one day..

The Rudy thing about him taking over from Steve Waggott was discussed at a meet the former players event last season. He was on stage with Craig Conway and he was clearly there for another reason because all the questions were quite clearly written for Conway. He was asked why he was back at the club and he told us he'd been doing a course on football business management and was there to discuss shadowing Steve Waggot and wanted to become CEO at a club. I don't think anyone there that night was left in any doubt which club that was going tobe.

Oh, is he? What’s he done? The half time entertainment would be good though! Mark Rober is the ex-NASA guy that makes the fart traps for people that steal Amazon deliveries from porches 🤣
