Absolutely fantastic what Glen Mullen and many other supporter groups have done.

Extremely well thought out and smart, even if we are still seeing the odd Venky lovers on social media.

Very clever, support the team etc, an excellent job, phase 1 (ironic) can't wait for phase 2..

I know from reading Glen's many posts, this was done to appease our diverse fanbase, in the hope we all sing from the same hymsheet instead of disagreeing with each other. 

This feels different to what's happened in the past, it feels like the end of our knightmare could be ending soon.

Glen Mullen, you are an absolute star, Rovers fans are lucky to have you.

He needs to up his ratings with "fans" in the LT though!!!

Very small number of trolls and plants post in there but they have an oversized influence due to it still being a main source of Rovers news… the regime must love it/coordinate it.

I’ve just been on there, fuck me, they are thicker than the dingles:

 

”Agree. Nonsensical waffle from BRFC action group. Like it or not, Steve Waggott is the glue that holds this club together”. 
 

They are a different breed on there.

Agreed.

I'll be honest, when I read the statement earlier today, I thought 'wtf is that? That doesn't fix anything, they'll ignore it, promotion isn't on the cards and Venkys are the problem anyway'. Then I thought about it in terms of how the club would react and I realised it was very astute and had been carefully thought out.

If they accepted the demand it made them look weak. If they ignored it it made them look arrogant and uncaring. I imagine it was expected they'd do what they did, and refuse to comply, with BS fluff to boot, and now even the fans groups on FB are spitting feathers at them. It's the most united against them I've seen the fanbase in ages.

Well played to those involved. That was a chess move right there. Like when someone moves a minor piece in a seemingly unimportant part of the board and you think 'wtf are you doing that for'. Then the longer you look at it you realise you're fucked.

Here's praying for checkmate in 3 (months, not moves).

The chess analogy is great. I went down a similar thought path.

So happy to see this stuff in motion.

I wouldn't take any notice on there I haven't for a very long time. Many of the accounts which appear to be Rovers fans are either Dingles on the wind-up or weirdos who have made several accounts. The discourse as a result is completely unhinged.

Venkys and their acolytes absolutely coordinate the shit that gets said on there.

I've seen things on there that are very specific responses to some of the musings on here that can only be from someone involved inside the club or venky organisation.

Then there was that time when someone noticed about four or five posts all within a few minutes of each other saying the same guff, all posted around 4am GMT.

Or put another way, around 10.00am in India.

100%. This is the most excited I have felt about Rovers in a very long time, feels like a light has been flicked on at the end of a very long tunnel. Can't wait to see what phase 2 brings.

I'll try and find the time to update that timeline. 

There's some tasty stuff in the last 12 months that needs adding.

Unfortunately, we still have many fans who don't see the bigger picture and have their heads firmly buried in the sand.

Many of those LT comments are from Grant Bickerstaff and Co.

I think you give them far to much credit, they can't even dress themselves, never mind logon to the internet.

Wonder what the club will come back with this week, imagine they’ll triple down on ewood express type things and there will definitely be a twisting of words to the intended effect of everyone including the board need to be together and showing dissent in the stands will affect the team.

I wonder which player they will try and roll out to take the hit on that one, maybe Yuki or Pape given they are favourites with the fans

100% they will try and kill any dissent with this sort of stuff.

People just need to engage with it online in a reasonable way e.g. "glad to see there are people at the club trying their best to do X, but unfortunately there are problems higher up which need addressing that fans can't ignore"

Not sure Yuki's English is up to it at this point. I hated the way they dragged him in front of the cameras to do an interview in English when he really wasn't ready for it imo.

Let them Bury their heads. They aren't going to make a movement about supporting venkys. It's the rest of us and there are more of us that matter

[roverandout]

Let comments must be a plant. No one is that thick surely?

Gestede is lower down the order, he still needs to go, but the two above him are the major issues at ground level. Especially Pasha. Both of those deserve the most scrutiny, flak and time in the spotlight.

I don't particularly dislike Gestede, he shouldn't be in that role, but I think both he and Yasir Sufi are being put forward as shields, without either of them realising it. Both come across as good guys and both need to get out of there, IMO.

Rudy hasn't helped himself one bit though, by spouting the party line about time, journeys, loan signings, trying to champion us as a brilliant "development club" for Premier League kids and by talking as if the fans are thick I.e transfer fees in instalments.

However, I think that's him trying to find his way in his role and I think there's also bit of naivety on his part. Despite that possibility, the above are the reasons why he is being grouped in with Pasha and Waggott. He's doing their bidding, therefore has to leave with them. Now.

Question marks remain about Rudy's appointment for me too. In 2021 he was playing under Steve Kean out in Australia.

In 2023 he turns up here at Rovers, initially on work experience, and is now being touted as a possible Waggott replacement in the near future. Based on what? Who recommended Gestede to Pasha? Or did he just randomly ask Rovers for some shadowing work one day and get lucky?

If Gestede is to be the next CEO, I want to know how that decision has been reached. We won't get to know and my radar has an all too familiar bell sounding, which is another reason why Rudy has to leave with the others.

I can’t and will never be able to distance myself from the fact that Gestede worked along side Kean at Melbourne. There’s far more going on behind the scenes at Rovers and ownership than Venkys and it’s never gone away. We are dual owned and Gestede is very much IMO part of this hierarchy
