After finishing 7th on goal difference in the first season under an exciting ambitious new head coach, our highest points tally in this league since relegation in 2012, and missing out on an FA Cup semi final at Wembley due to a lasp gasp defeat away at a side that won automatic promotion that season, our CEO goes public with his target for the new season which is to survive in the Championship and expects credit for relaying the pitch and hiring (not buying) a new team bus.

Totally and utterly bonkers but a perfect snapshot into the mentality and ambitions of the people working down there. 

Equally ludicrous is that after making those comments he wasn't immediately axed and shown the door. 

Any engaged ambitious owner would not have tolerated such but this lot know that they can keep their heads down, not rock the boat and they're on a lifetime gravy train ride. Another 2 years on and they're still going, managed to avoid relegation, pay has gone up, owners must be happy with things, what's not to like?

Who cares if we've flogged or soon will flog all our remaining quality and assets, our fanbase has shrunk further, our two last managers have walked out in disgust and in doing so we've lost a shot at promotion. These are all immaterial insignificant issues to these people.

Your first paragraph should be repeated verbatim on TV, radio or any other medium Rovers supporters get the opportunity to use as a platform, about why we're fed up with the calibre of people Venkys employ to run the club, absolute gold.

FFS! Nixon really coming out from the shadows or Radio Lancs (token challenge from Bayes).

"Negative fans" can't get behind their team. Nixon certainly coming out for the regime.

What an absolutely arrogant ******!

I SEE YOU!

The fat scroat will be using any opportunity to keep the regime onside so that they can feed him info in what will likely be a busy summer.

Good ownership is having a plan for short, medium and long term, employing the correct people in key roles and communicating that plan to your supporters, good commercial plan and Good ST plan that engage with supporters, understands Supporters financial situation and bring through the next generation of supporter

 

I agree with you about good ownership having a short, medium and long term plan.

Puts our owners in a terrible light though, 15 years later, clearly no long term planning in the slightest (not for the betterment of BRFC anyway)

Not saying for one minute though that Bowyer was a good manager. 

did a good job after that for 2 seasons of utter chaos and mess with 3 permanent managers and 3 caretaker spells. 

I remember when Bowyer took after Berg sacking and we picked 3 back to back wins and a draw in his 4 games in charge. He conducted himself very well during that chaos.

If you look at other club owners alot of them have experience of owning other sports clubs/team and how the sports businesses work before buying a football club in alot of cases.

Bowyer was a youth coach managing at first team level for the first time. In that context he did fine.

But in reality he was learning his trade on our time as the parachutes were running out - so imagine those players with a top Championship manager.

Good old Nixon. Got to hand it to the guy in a way, to still have people eating out of the palm of his hand, even though he’s as accurate with his stories, as Ray Charles playing darts.

He’ll always block folk that either don’t buy one of his wife’s handbags, or call him out on his rubbish, too.
What a man….

To be fair, he does get a fair few right, and clearly has an inside source at Rovers.

The problem is, that source is probably the loose tongued Waggott, and that’s why he’s a Venkys apologist and is anti - Rovers fans.

Yep. Nice guy, steadied the ship, but its criminal that Rovers didn't get challenge for promotion with the players Bowyer had to choose from.

Put Warnock in charge of 2013-2015 Rovers with the likes of Rhodes, Gestede, Cairney, Conway, Marshall, King, Dunn, Hanley, Duffy, etc. in the squad you'd expect a playoff spot at least in one of or both of those full seasons Bowyer had at the club. Most of the key players that Bowyer had in that time went onto play Premier League football in some shape or form.
