Or you employ a head coach who wants more control in recruitment of players then leaves for a club that will give him that

He has said it on the record and now it can be used to see whether its true or not when we see the accounts Yes you say the same thing every time. no change here. You didn't expect us to spend last summer but we did and brought in some good quality players on permanent and loan deals Are all the transfer fees in the public or just guess what we think it is We didn't spend that summer cos if FFP commitments and we sold our STC to meet them and had that money to spend the summer after Rovers will get that next Wharton instalment plus Wharton could be sold which could bring in between £8m to £12m.

NOPE!!! Its basic business knowledge and understanding with your stakeholders in any businesses. A Football club is a business at the end of the day and need to be run as one Going back to a time when things were very different, English football wasn't a global brand, social media wasn't around and the amount of TV coverage and media focus wasn't what it is now. Our clubs are owned by a range of different people whether its Hollywood actors or NFL former star or owners from middle East, etc

expect a new head coach at Leicester City next season

You know the answer to your question. Stanley done good work in the community but so do Rovers. Yesterday, the club shop was busy with yesterday with player signing session and I would like to see more of them during the school holidays. Rovers community trust does good work in the community hence why they have won awards for t

Good ownership is having a plan for short, medium and long term, employing the correct people in key roles and communicating that plan to your supporters, good commercial plan and Good ST plan that engage with supporters, understands Supporters financial situation and bring through the next generation of supporter

Yes we need sign a number of new players who will fit into what Ismael(if he still here) style of play and I expect quite a few of signings from French, German and Belgium leagues. What is a competitive budget at this level and how much do you want? I think we have similar to spend this summer as last season(24/25 season). Around the £4-£5m transfer fee. Need a new keeper for sure, centre back, box to box midfielder, 2 wingers, another striker. Hopefully Weimann and Batth sign for next season otherwise we might another 2 signings there. Right back if Duru is loan out for the season or injured. Pears should be sold, JRC is another possible sale I would consider cos he hasn't improved, Maybe even a couple more Some of that money cover their losses over a season and some gone to the running cost of the club. Pasha said they spend £4.5m on transfer fees this season during the interviews he did

YES!!! Communicate to your supporters and stakeholders why you have made that appointment, budgets, etc. Effective communication Communication is crucial and being open and honest about decisions, why people have left, why appointments have been made would help connect, etc, etc For example if I appointed a new CEO, then he would do interviews with Rovers TV, Radio Lancs and LT, whilst me as the owner would do similar why they have been appointed and what they would bring the club and its stakeholders. Effective proper communication.

Matty asked me a couple of weeks a similar question and I said last summer I wouldn't appointed into that role in the first place as I thought we needed someone with experience in that role given our budget we had. That not against Gestede cos I don't see at the job but I would have appoint an experience DoF. my point was about Football as a Whole. What players were signed against Eustace desire? What was Eustace's role and did he caused the disagreements in recruitment cos he wanted Championship experience signings? Did Eustace wanted Gueye, Ohashi, Beck, Batth who proved to be good signings? Given that head coaches didn't last long within the game, you need a director of football to have plan for short, medium and long term, employ scouts and data analysis, bring him new players. Employ the right head coach to fit in with players but also the short and medium plan of the club if it such a bad structure to have in place why did clubs all over have the

Toth Montgomery Hyam Batth Pickering Travis Tronstad Dolan Ohashi Cantwell Gueye

of course it benefitted football as a whole.

from 15/20 years ago. Social media and online media is here and you can used to your benefit or not. Rovers should do more and communicate much better and communicate to your supporters. Waggott and Gestede should have been out there after Eustace left and when Ismael was appointed. Why Gestede was appointed. Etc etc Its about open with what and why decisions have been made and communicate those decisions have been made to your club supporters. Its called effective communication with your stakeholders.

I know what I said thanks RF99 but the overall point was footballing structure to prevent the Gallagher type situation and have more structure and scouting system to finding and recruiting potential players to sign. piss off? care to explain it more?

no one employ managers anymore. Its the head coach structure now with Sporting Director or Director of football. the game has moved on

ok thanks for sharing that. I apprenticed it 👍

Nathan Aspinall has been very good tonight, deserved to be in the final

Communication is part of the issue under these owners and it has been many different situations. The Eustace situation was one example or why GB left and the plan was after or the Indian Court situation. Plus many other examples Clean plan and communication with the supporters goes along way and explaining to us the supporters why decisions have been made.

The world has move on from those days. Clear, proper and quick communication with supporters is valid and making people feel part of their club and know is going on whether they like it or not

it was just one example of why the communication should have been better.

thanks for the reply. His profile is still on the website and says he is still on the board

When did Duncan resign?

had the communication been better for years and they communicate properly, we might not be here now For example Derby approach Eustace and Rovers on the Friday before the Wolves game but somehow he is allow to take charge of that game then he said he has just find out post game about the approach, which wasn't true. Rovers and Eustace didn't tell the fans the exactly situation, trust breaks down there. That situation was mis management by the club. Rovers should have put Eustace, Downing and Gardiner on gardening leave and Rovers should have put Lowe and Johnson until further notice. Rovers on Saturday morning release a statement saying Derby has approach us for Eustace and his staff, They want to hold talks with them so they have been place on Gardening leave and who is in charge of the first team affairs until further notice. Sadly we didn't do any of them and we didn't know who was in charge of WBA game until 2 hours before kick off. Then after Eustace move to Derby was done and confirmed, Rovers CEO or Director of football should have been in front of camera doing an interview with Elliott Jackson, Radio Lancs and Rovers TV explaining why Eustace left what the plan is going forward and the process to appointing a new head coach. Then why Ismael was appointed, Gestede and Waggott should have done a press conference with Ismael telling the fans why he was picked, etc, etc. Same with the transfer window, etc, etc.

It was post and point about how a football club should be run in my opinion. Not going how good and bad our recruitment has been this season cos we done it before and before, so isn't really going to get anywhere is it? 🙄

James Anderson isn't in the squad for tomorrow game.

Looking forward to another PL darts night. Hopefully Luke Littler will win.
