[Archived] New Sporting Director Rumour

[MGAndy]

Ouch!

I hope you are limping better on that new knee pal 😜

[47er]

Venkys seem to like to sub contract people in rather than take them on board permanently. Like having agencies run it, loaning players etc and i'm sure there are other examples through the club via the downgrade. This SD probably fits into that way of doing things, wonder if he's training his replacement out of his own pocket

They sound like the Conservative Party!

[MGAndy]

They sound like the Conserative Party!

dont mix football with politics or religion

I am a Tory and a Satanist

[tomphil]

Politicians and religious leaders all think V's are a bit suss but strangely the football leaders don't, odd that eh

[MGAndy]

Pasha out !!

Do you even know who the LT Reporter is or where he is from? suggest you do some research for once and stop moaning as per usual.

the reporter is Rich sharpe. he was writing for the Sentinel and reporting on Crewe Alexandra.

Moaning !!! that's a bit rich chaddy dont you think considering this season's painful performances and the lack of talent on show.

Rich Sharpe

Blackburn Rovers writer at the Lancashire Telegraph | Former Crewe Alex writer at the Sentinel

Don't worrying, Chaddy only knew that because it's in the fellas Twitter description. Not through any research or effort to merit the better than you attitude.

Didnt I take the time look on his twitter profile? Shame others didnt before asking questions

[tomphil]

When Cryer started writing about Rovers they were a much bigger club than Bristol City now i'd say they are becoming bigger than us. Rather ironic that the last two scribes/rehashers or whatever they are formerly wrote about Chester and Crewe seeing as that's the size of cluub Venkys & partners seem intent on creating in Blackburn.

When the writer for Accy or Barrow or someone steps in after this guy we'll know it's game over !

[AllRoverAsia]

If its on Twitter in must be true..a bit like the Sun.

About as accurate and honest as Coyle presser.

Get behind the Journos FFS!

lot of people don't use twitter. How would I go about looking up this guy assuming I was interested enough to want to, which I'm not. I do have a twitter account but rarely, except to post the anti Venky's stuff, use it and wouldn't know how to find out about Rovers reporter at the LT

Thats why people who do use twitter share info.

Why not do a simple Google search? It will show some of his reports up that he did for his previous job.

[gumboots]

I wouldn't have known his name in the first place as I haven't read the Telegraph for years, and certainly not since I stope working in Blackburn

[Blue blood]

So due to family stuff I take my eye off Rovers for the week and they appoint a sporting director. Sound move one thinks.

Apart from he's got rather close relations to a football agency. (And in fairness to Venkeys how would they know that could be problematic? It's never happened before...) And he's been fired for being poor at his last role.

Even with good ideas Venkeys manage to do it wrong, alienate fans and damage the club. Of course it's all accidental.

[MGAndy]

And still no interview with the new man

why?

because he will be asked about recruitment

better to say nowt until the window closes to avoid looking like a complete idiot.

half way through the transfer window

all quiet on the western front

I can hear him now

fantastic to be working at such a prestigous club

planning for the summer

full backing of owners

bull sheet

Pasha out !!

[Rover_Shaun]

Just read twitter for the first time. It said Venky's were merchant bankers and Jose Mourinho smells of elderberries.

So it is all true!!

[MGAndy]

keep up Shaun

[tomphil]

It'll be like Marshalls contract spin, a meeting with the new SD, meeting again next week, interview in paper soon etc etc until the window is shut then he'll appear from nowhere glossing over the outgoings by spinning positive lines about the two freebies we've signed.

[Jock]

Whats the point of this bloke if nobody can contact S&M Barry?

[tomphil]

He's just the latest 'leave it with me bloke' . He'll soon find out that where it begins and ends.

Pay offs not play offs !

[Neal]

Whats the point

Edited for you.

He should be asked why did Sheff wed get shut of him for not having the clubs best interest at heart...
