which is?

was it Gary Bowyer after match comments about meeting the owners and would he take the job?

or his Rhodes staying at rovers next season?

[Rover_Shaun]

I seem to recall they interviewed some fans. One younger fan was particularly strange looking at 16.30 :/

Was it to do with Paul Agnew showing the "owners" onto the pitch when they were first introduced?

[glen9mullan]

Watch again, some footage in there which gets shown a lot , but also poses questions

This raised a question for me...

[Roverall]

This raised a question for me...

Agnew is a prize @#/? and he seems to have been at the heart of a lot of this...

But he was press officer, what's so incredible about him introducing them?

[Rover_Shaun]

I can't even recall even knowing who Agnew was at that time. What was his role then?

[glen9mullan]

This raised a question for me...

Bingo , from contractor to being the one who introduced venkys as the new owners of Blackburn Rovers , hope this opens one or twos eyes at the pure size of certain task

He didn't technically work for the club at that point

[Roverall]

Any progress in the last few weeks of said task, gents?

He's certainly had a swift ascent up the ladder...

[thenonda]

club press officer

[Stuart]

That was my thought.

Features again...

Working hard on things , especially overseas , things are being put out anonymously , and have been for last 2 weeks .

We are in talks with certain outlets and are interacting with informants as we cut through the red tape .

Whilst its my understanding the FA have made direct request to the owners

[John]

Agnew

The man who stood by Steve Kean

Awful at PR and widely ridiculed by all respected journos in the North West

Twisted PR and blocked real fan comments protecting the Rao family

Promoted above ability to board

Put forward close pal Shaw for MD

Revolting individual who needs driven/hounded out ASAP.

[K-Hod]

Paul Agnew in being a c**t shocker

Fantastic. Keep at it. We'll bring this house of cards crashing down.

[chaddyrovers]

Agnew was the Rovers press officer when Venkys took over.

when Murphy was doing his press conference, Agnew was General manager/Operation director at the time

[Amo]

I'm pretty sure Agnew was already press officer at that point.

Not exactly that telling. We all know he's a worm who's had his feet firmly under the table since Venky's took over. Probably not the best analogy now that I've thought about it...

Why didn't the then chairman introduce Venkys to the Ewood crowd?

[Rover_Shaun]

Agnew was Press officer according to this pre-venky article

I assume he was sub-contracted from his Papr company

[donnermeat]

I always thought they used his PR company therefore he wasn't officially an employee, on the payroll etc until he joined the board of directors. Then the club started using another company that I think is run by Andy Nield?

Whether that is the most recent one attributed to when Appleton was hired I don't know.
