[Rover_Shaun]

Has anyone ever made a simple timeline of 'mistakes' made by the owners?

Mistake 1 : Buying the club

Mistake 2 : Sacking Sam

Mistake 3 : Promoting Kean

Mistake 4 : Alienating John Williams and Tom Finn to the point where they felt they had to resign

Mistake 5 : ??????????????????

I am sure I'll think of a few in between but for now..7 Singh..OMFG!!!! 8 Agnew..well, honestly!! 9 Snowballgate Having the lack of emotional intelligence to roll up to Ewood like they were attending the Oscars...Reminded me of buffoon public schoolboy officer, arriving at the Ypres aftermath with a bottle of champagne.... Oh and yes..this is therapeutic!!!!

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Allowing Coco to buy Danny Murphy and Etuhu, on longer than necessary contracts and on those wages, thinking they would help secure promotion at the first attempt.

Keeping Coco in situ, following the last day win at Wolves.

Not sacking Coco at Christmas [Man Utd result aberration aside] the following season.

Not sacking Coco at any point during his tenure.

Appointing Coco at all

Coco/Anderson/Agnew/Shaw/Singh/Existing at all/thinking they could run a football club/lack of communication with the fans/treating us with contempt/lies...could be here all day!

[Roverall]

That awful chicken ad. 'Bit of a laugh' some said. No, it wasn't.

[broadsword]

kNoCKING BACK THE qATARIS, PLUS NUMEROUS OTHER WOULD-BE BUYERS.

trying to run the club from Pune

appointing singh, shaw and agnew and keeping them in position

[OJRovers]

Listening to Jermone Anderson ahead of John Williams is the crux of everything that has gone wrong since they took over.

[ChrisyG]

I'd put breathing quite high up on the list.

[onlyonejackwalker]

Coco, Black, Berg, Bowyer, Appleton, Bowyer.

Has there ever been a series of such baffling and crazily expensive management decisions in professional football before?

[John]

The Kean payrise/new contract when we were declining fast was an act of (JA) genius.

[Tom]

Vineeth Rao

What was the point of him?

[Bucksrover]

Listening to Jermone Anderson ahead of John Williams is the crux of everything that has gone wrong since they took over.

I would agree this was the key mistake.

I sometimes think some representative of our club should be able to take legal action against Anderson and Co. for professional negligence or something like that.

[Amo]

Technically, the Trust have to take the blame for JA, as much as Venky's. They're the ones who hired him to find a buyer, right?

[broadsword]

Believing what they were told about John Williams being behind the protests.

[Majiball]

Being born was mistake No.1!

[speeeeeeedie]

Their Brazilian chicken executive who was supposed to unearth South American gems? What a joke decision that was. Was he called De Souza?

Not Venkys, but what about Allardyce bringing in Kean as a coach? I wonder what would have happened if he'd have hired somebody else.

That's an interesting scenario. With Kean's feet already under the table, it was too convenient for JA to fool Venky's into thinking he was some kind of visionary coach who Rovers had to thank for bringing through the likes of Jones et al. I guess they would've installed an out of work SEM client, but no one springs to mind right now.

[John]

John Jensen probably would have been made gaffer.

[FGS5635]

Someone off the soccer saturday panel would prob have got the job

[J*B]

Someone needs to actual put together a serious date ordered timeline of events. If someone can put together a date ordered list starting with the date they bought the club, I'll make one.

[Tom]

I'm sure the action group or similar once outlined it in a press release

[Dreyski]

Having coco and his Mrs regularly fly over to Pune (ever heard of conference calls or Skype?)

Sacking Paul(?) Hunt after his letter to 'Madame'

Retaining Shaw after the court case,
