Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
lraC replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I can’t guarantee it is correct, but I heard from 2 different people who I know and trust and a 3rd person, who claims to be inside the club, who I don’t know personally. That’s about O’Neil. -

After last nights win for Derby, we are rock bottom of the table, using results posts Christmas. Even if we win tomorrow, which I very much doubt, we are not suddenly, going on a winning streak. -

Some good points in there and hopefully, someone will pose these questions that you have raised. There are that many issues, that it is unlikely that these will be addressed in the pre match meeting that the trust have with Waggott on Friday. I have first hand experience of meetings with him and his tactic, will be to waffle on, avoid the issues and run out of time. I suspect that is the reason he chose Friday and not a more convenient time, when there would be no reason to rush anything. -

There will be a new fan from the third generation of my family born in June and his brother my current Grandson, is a fan, due to me. For all those who have walked away, these generations will be missed and lost forever. It is vital that those who love the club, but hate the regime, are targeted for a return, which is unlikely, until they sell. -

I can't bring myself to watch it, to be honest, as I am angry enough already. Did the actually admit they would be open to offers then, as that is a first, as far as I know, as I am sure they have always stated that the are not interested in selling. - 
	Spot on. Fleece the fans for all we can and two fingers up to what that does to the future of the club. Attracting new fans, seems to be the aim of the game, yet they have no idea how to do it.
 - 
	All the very best getting straight answers to those questions, which are all very well thought out and fair play for this statement overall. It is incredible really that the club are now threatening to disengage, due to the criticism, you have quite rightly given them. I know the term, critical friend has been used, to describe the relationship between the trust and the club, but I think they are now showing that they do not consider you to be their friend at all in fact you appear to be the enemy from the looks of things. It seems it’s a severe inconvenience, especially to Pasha, to have to engage at all and despite their duty to do so, it looks like they want to close down these meetings, as they do not want to accept any form of criticism, especially one that is aimed at the owners selling. Given their stand on bringing back lapsed fans in favour of attracting new ones, how do they think they can do that exactly? We had around 20,000 when they took over and now by their own admission there are 6,000. So getting 14,000 completely new fans, is laughable, especially when you look at a club like Bolton Wanderers, who are far more likely to attract new blood, due to their pricing structure, which has shown for 3 seasons in a row now DOES persuade people to give it a go.

Pasha is without doubt the most dangerous of anyone at the club. He has now surrounded himself with Gestede and Ismael, so much as I dislike Waggott, he is now isolated and won't be around for much longer, I wouldn't think. -

I am as close t being 100% certain, as I can be now, about Gary O Neil, being Waggott's choice and Pasha over ruled him, as Ismael was cheaper. There are two different sources, who have since confirmed, this as being accurate and before anyone asks, no I won't name them, but I 100% trust them both. -

I’m not too sure he will be anywhere near as skilled at playing the press as mr crocodile tears, but it’s a real coup getting him to speak. -

I promise, I was being facetious. Kean and Gestede team up in Oz. Gestede and Pasha are good mates, by all accounts. Pasha and Kean are both connected to Kentaro. Gestede gets himself a trainee gig at Ewood and promises to improve communications but doesn’t, although at least he went on video to wish us a happy Eid Mubarak. Rumours start about Gestede replacing Waggott, who in turn has recently been overruled in the choice of manager. I can’t wait for Pashas press appearances tomorrow. I hope he is asked to explain a few things, that aren’t adding up. -

That’s an interesting development and well done. Do we know with whom and at what time? -

Yep, Melbourne Victory. It could all be pure coincidence of course. -

I didn’t mean at Rovers. It was when Kean was managing abroad. -

I wasn’t told to be honest, but was told that Waggott choices were overruled by Pasha. Mhead has stated O’Neil, who I suspect was Waggott’s preferred option. -

lraC replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Thanks. From what I was told, there was more than just O’Neil, but as stated Pasha overruled this and Ismael was recommended to the owners, due to his wage fitting the budget. -

I missed an S off the choice, as there were choices, but Waggott was overruled by Pasha, who chose Ismael due to his wage fitting the budget. Thanks for accepting your words to me were harsh. Im not too sure what you are asking about Pasha and Gestede, but if I have got what you are asking right, Gestede possibly got the job he did at Rovers due to their friendship, but I’m guessing there. Gestede did play under Kean at one point and of course Kean and Pasha, both have a connection to Kentaro. It does feel like the people around from the very early days, have not all disappeared. -

If my comments are unfair then don’t you think yours are too? You said that my post that a record of one win in 12 games was pathetic was harsh and that he had them 9th in the table when he was sacked. That record is not only pathetic, but you have made an excuse for it by stating the position of Watford in the table was acceptable, yet stated they were 4 places higher than they were. You also suggested that you researched this, so why try to defend him by lying for him, or have you made a genuine mistake? There was more than one manager ear marked for the job and very much like the Coyle for Warnock situation, Pasha persuaded the owners to take Ismael, as he fits the budget. we all know how Coyle being brought in after another manager was promised the job, turned out and I would suggest, history will repeat itself. On another note, Gestede and Pasha are good mates and have taken a holiday together. -

He was cheaper than the original choice, who Waggott had signed off. Pasha overruled him.
