If this is his actual job title then in writing I'm not going to another game until whoever is responsible is sacked.

Go and get Marek Rodak. Good keeper at this level, just released on a free from Fulham.

Stanley have tickets on sale to home fans because they’re a well run club and Rovers can’t work out how to sell away tickets is my guess.

Loan, I assume? Pushing the problem back another season.

It doesn’t matter if we signed 13 players if they’re all terrible Chaddy. We could have signed the entire BRFCS messageboard if it was simply a number game.

Add to this that seemingly - much like Jude Bellingham at Birmingham - Adam was sold to keep the lights on at the club.

Would be interesting to know how many full-time working, ST holding fans within 5 miles of Ewood Park have had a real world 33% wage increase since 2015!

I love Adam as much as anyone but I don't think there's enough evidence to start him in the Euros. He's got 4-months Premier League experience. Southgate will take him to the Euros because he's nailed on to get the United job next and his remit will be young British talent. Thats why he's suddenly ousted all the regular old guard and brought in Wharton, Eze, Braithwaite etc.

Palace got him cheap because many of the top clubs have FFP issues in Jan. Would have got more for him in summer, but also we'd have gone bankrupt!

Distinctly average - hope not.

I recently worked with INEOS and was told by staff how senior management turn up to sites unexpectedly and do walk arounds with sticky labels saying things like "this isn't up to our standards" and "this is not acceptable to our brand" and the site have 28 days to fix it. Wonder how many sticky notes they've leave around Ewood and Brockhall.

Will any of my season ticket renewal go towards a new sign for the training centre? It's been like this for years and seemingly, despite driving past it every day, nobody seems to be in a rush to get it fixed.

I’ve absolutely no idea, there’s been so much change I can’t begin to understand it. You’d hope that there would be some clear communication via the website once the structure has been complete, but I don’t hold much hope.

Oversees player development and coaching? As in, makes sure the coaches turn up on time and coach? I am so confused by this, it feels extremely convoluted to me.

cheers Chaddy, so tell me again, what does this Adam Owen do?

Trying this a different way - and I’m not being facetious: 1) Who is in charge of scouting the players? 2) Who decides if we make an offer? 3) Who decides the maximum offer we’re willing to make? 4) Who completes the paperwork and submits it?

I’m not entirely clear what a technical director does. What is this guys role? Is this replacing Silvestre or Broughton!

You’re assuming we’re not planning on starting him.

What does he gain from that? He would have lost 2 years of 8 times his salary. He's already contracted to a top premier league club. He was Plymouth's young POTS (from memory, might be wrong) and will have the opportunity to go to a club at least as good again this year. If he performs well again he will get a loan to a top championship club then an opportunity to either prove himself at Spurs, or get a loan to a bottom third Premier League club. All the while earning 20K a week.

I really hope this is the case, but I would be astonished if it was.

Another championship team, likely similar to us

As opposed to say, Phillips, who chose to leave, got 8 times his salary and then loaned out to plan more games for Plymouth than he was for us in the same league?

Taking supporting Rovers out of the mix here - because he doesn't - what about the last 12-months would make the 15 version of yourself think it wise to commit to Rovers in what is a very short career where key decisions have a huge impact?

We're imposing a £10 tax on buying in person so that staffing levels are not needed, but instead people are talking fans through how to avoid it over the phone? How long is that taking? Am I going insane?

The kids (U12) pricing is clearly a big success story and thats where they catch the bug. I'd argue they become a fan is a little later. When you crunch the cheapest EB prices based on an adult and 13 year old: Adult & 11-18 = £425 @ PNE Adult & 12-18 at Ewood = £405 @ Rovers £10 Waggott Tax Rovers are £10 cheaper than PNE for an adult and child. Come Phase 3, the prices for an adult and 13 year old at Rovers is £574, plus £10 Waggott Tax, making the final price £179 more expensive than Early Bird and £14 more expensive than PNE. Regardless of my issues on pricing - i.e. even with the £30 discount (£30 is not the difference between a really expensive ticket and a really affordable one), the bigger issues for me are: 1) If Rovers are happy to sell a seat for £349 in May, why is the price £100 more expensive in July? How many people do they expect to pay £100 extra in July for the same product? What makes it more expensive later? 2) If they couldn't release STs earlier due to not knowing what league we are in and submitting budgets for approval to Venkys - why didn't they extend the early bird to counter this? I guarantee there is record low uptake this year and for me that is down to: Nobody know what time the games will be on - not the clubs fault Everyone is thoroughly pissed off with Waggott, Venkys and Pasha - the clubs fault If they couldn't afford a ST in the 4-week period of early bird then they're being asked to pay £100+ more for the exact same product - the clubs fault
