[Archived] BRFC Action Group

You guys make me laugh. It's obvious they are referring to Gary Bowyer. The statement separated the one man from the boardroom, and the first person that should come to mind is Gary Bowyer (though it should be two if you want to include Terry McPhillips). Unless you guys are saying Gary Bowyer didn't do a hell of a job and pulled the club off the floor, which would send me floored with the utter ridiculousness that has been engulfing our club since Venkys took over..

Sometimes people are so blinded by their hatred (okay, maybe that's too strong a word) or whatever that they see weird faults in perfectly innocent statements.

I hardly see how saying ''While one man has tried to pull the club off the floor others in the board room have turned the club into a national laughing stock by undermining him" points to Gary Bowyer. They very well may have meant Bowyer and if they did fair play my bad but to me reading that makes it sound like one member of the board has tried to pull the club off the floor where as others are against him.

As for BRAG I don't hate them. Like I said in an earlier post I feel they set themselves up for all the right reasons but I think their heads have been turned since they formed a relationship with Shebby. They have no place releasing these statements and threatening the club because of the managerial appointment. They should have concentrated on their initial efforts to oust Venkys and Kean instead of trying to cosy up to the club.

That was a very inclusive post GE4Life.

No, I don't see much wrong with the way Shaw has gone about things. You could argue that he shouldn't have put out that statement last night, but the odds are that he was just putting it into the public domain before it came from elsewhere - which it inevitably would have done - speculation was already rife that Appleton was on Rovers wish list. What else has he done wrong? I don't see anything at all.

As for Bowyer, well he'd said he didn't want the job and was told about the move [granted, only a little] earlier. All stand in managers are open to a full time manager replacing them at any given moment.

Bowyer said on sky that he had been kept up to date with what was going on - which s fair enough.

All Shaw said last night is that Rovers have a approached Blackpool - not Appleton - about the rovers job. Nothing wrong with that. You aproach the club first to gain permission to talk to their manager.

I also do not see what Shaw has done wrong. Anyway it has also been reported that Appleton has quit blackpool.

If you're happy with the way this approach and the manager search has and is being conducted Den then OK. Not going to argue with you about it.

Bowyer may not want the job (the players comments certainly suggest otherwise, mind) but the fact is he, McPhillips and the team are being messed about. Watch us go to pot again once Appleton comes in, easy money if you can afford a few bets.

"While one man has tried to pull the club off the floor others in the board room have turned the club into a national laughing stock by undermining him"

I didn't see that in the press release on the telegraph but it appears on the BBC site?????

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20973892

Did BRAG actually say that about Shebby??

Wow

[G Somerset Rover]

The only aspect of this Appleton deal that I am enjoying is seeing Shebby/BRAG having their noses put out of joint.

Come on DE4LIFE, you know I'm not happy about the way the club has/is being run into the ground.

Your criticism that I replied to was about the way Shaw has handled this appointment. I don't think he's done much, if anything wrong.

[T.J.Newton]

Can we please not just close down this thread and ignore brag, the more attention they get the more petulant and obnoxious they become, they need to change there lead members and re-think their priorities otherwise they will become as hated as kean was(which is slightly ironic!)

OK Den, fair enough, snappy comment on my part.

From what I understand Shaw has made this appointment behind the back of one of the decision makers (Shebby), which has the potential to cause huge trouble later on, as I don't think Shebby is going anywhere. He's also gone back on his belief we need an experienced manager to sign another "up and coming" manager.

I still find the statement on the website bizarre, but the main problem I have is that Shaw is creating a ton of future problems by 1) going behind Shebby's back. and 2) changing his mind on needing an experienced manager.

"While one man has tried to pull the club off the floor"

[Paul]

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that......proves one thing!!!!

Regarding the statement it clearly can be read in two ways which demonstrates why it is so important professional PR issue such statements. The confusion created means the motivation behind the statement will always be in doubt.

All these problems need sorting out DE4. It's down to the owners to get off their backsides, come over here and sit people down in front of them. Deciding who's running the show at Ewood has to be paramount. Why that isn't obvious to them is anyone's guess.

Sadly the owners have no intention of doing this so I imagine the confusion and disharmony will continue for as long as the punatics own the club.

Don't be daft, it says 'others in the boardroom' - that does not include GB.

The statement is a disgrace, stop making excuses for it

Hahaha, you think that refers to Bowyer? Who has been in post a month.

Why was it removed from the LET article then?

[Black Burn]

I have no choice but to leave it to the Blackburn Rovers Action Group to clarify who that one man is. I apologize if I was the one who was mistaken and they really meant Shebby Singh.

However, I have good reason to believe that they were talking about Gary Bowyer......though that isn't something I can guarantee.

[Tyke87]

I can't see how the Action Group could come out and admit they meant Shebby even if they did. That would only prove the theories that they've snuggled up next to Shebby and damage their credibility even more so.

Wont be long before Venkys out is replaced with BRAG out if they continue to act this way.

[the original david brent]

Is anybody from brag going to answer re the BBC press release?! I'm intrigued

The article quite clearly states that BRAG are relating to 'internal pwer struggles' ie. the boardroom. It has nothing to do with Gary Bowyer.

[Andy]

It's clearly referring to Singh.

And it's cringingly biased towards him.

[Rover_Shaun]

Now what is the plan of action. Obviously Glens resignation is first on the agenda followed by the election of a replacement but how soon after that will communication end and hostilities commence?

[SouthAussieRover]

Agreed. It is clearly referring to the boardroom.

Really Black Burn, I can't believe you thought it was referring to Bowyer.

IMO after the protests certain BRAG members started to get political and their egos started to get the better of them hence starting to annoy other fans then along came shebby and it got all cozy alienating fans even further and after their latest outburst they've alienated other fans even more

[blueboy3333]

it would be great if BRAG could explain how Singh 'has pulled the club up off the floor'???? I wonder if BRAG's memebership agree with that statement?

Also that BBC article states that according to Shaw it was Singh who appointed Berg. Glen Mullan said it was a joint decision???

BRAG are very odd.

[SouthAussieRover]

I'm sure all you little scamps realise that BRAG was referring to Bowyer

What are you on about you Grumpy Old Fart?

[Rover_Shaun]

I need to retract my claim that it was referring to Bowyer.

A head must roll for that
