Bonkers appointment. 10 months ago Karthik Hariharan was doing an internship at QPR (assisting a recruitment analyst) and studying for a Masters. A few months later he's Head of Data Science and Football Insights at Rovers.

no but don't expect people not to say something back. 

How would you like me to come to your workplace and have a go at you? are you going to just take it or say something back? 

Someone the other week had a go at Travis and he said something back. 

You wouldn’t get anywhere near my workplace mate.

I would take it, laugh at you and then report any concerns about the idiot having a pop at me to a more senior manager!

You can understand it a little bit from a player if there’s abuse, for example Kieron Trippier having a chat with the Newcastle fans at Bournemouth last season. Goading your away fans from afar with your hands cupped behind your ears is a different matter!

Legal action in relation to what? If he wants to voice his concerns then he is damned well within his rights to do that. We won’t be silenced, Kim Jong Waggott can fucking think again if he thinks we will accept this.

Absolutely right but I wouldn’t be surprised if Waggot didn’t make it a condition of entry next season, that you are not allowed to chant against the owners or their stooges.

This is genuinely mindboggling.

Absolute joke. So that guy can get caught masturbating at Turf Moor and be told politely to stop but we can’t speak out against our awful owners? 
 

Jesus wept.

In fairness there's not been a footballing insight in 15 years so I imagine little experience was needed. 

He'll fit right in with the rest of the incompetent no-marks running the joint.

Again with the “one letter off nominative determinism” thing… you’ve a way with words.

Complete joke for our 'data analysts'

What the actual fuck?!?

Given our shitty budget and the importance placed on data science during recruitment (whether you agree with it or not is unimportant, it will be factored in and having a no mark there will be a problem), this is one of the most farcical appointments in a long line of farcical appointments. Mind you, grossly underqualified Rudy Gestede has probably been involved in this hire given his role, and he probably has sympathy for work experience types. Plus he's Indian so bonus point from the owners. What a joke.

We should publicise this ludicrous move on social media to add fuel to the fire.

[Browjd]

In the interviews, Waggot clearly said they would present credible offers to the Venkys. As one of protest stages, could we come together and use fans/friends that could source a buyer? Often the issue is that buyers don't know an asset could be sold - we need to create the narrative that Rovers chiefs would entertain credible offers. There hasn't been that directive before....

This is a time and place for anyone wishing to peacefully “express yourself” regarding the current situation at our club 🌹 

These will continue at every home game from now until the end of the season. The location will be shared here approximately 4 hours before kick off each time and across other forms of social media.

Need to be careful with events like that. Tonight may be the lowest home turnout for a league game in donkeys years, ergo you aren’t getting too many folk at the statue either - so easy pickings for the likes of Suhail to paint it as a minority griping.

Expect a heavy police/Steward presence.

Stay safe, to all who go.

I will be watching the match from Spain on Rovers TV but will be there in spirit and thinking of you all.

It’s a place for fans to come together and express theirselves. Nothing more, nothing less.

Speaking of expression - I saw the below post on a Sheff Weds forum, it could easily be adapted for Venkys 🥀 🐔 

[Mattyblue]

You may think it’s for that, and that’s great.

The regime and their social media plants will spin it quite differently - don’t give them that opportunity.

I'm sorry but the time and the place is inside the stadium during the match. Anything else is too easily brushed aside.
