And now his latest tweet, knowing all the ins and outs of Waggot’s salary, as though he is the man doing the payroll.

Unbelievable how our own fans can’t see it, right under their noses. 

Context - Glen has tweeted that he’s not defending Waggott, but pointing out the need to only tweet / post what is factually correct, so we are not dragged down to the club’s level.

[Mattyblue]

BnWR has always been pro regime and now he starts posting for the first time in nearly a year casting aspersions about Glen and ‘division’… well, what a shock!

But not a peep to the fans. So lack of communication, the same issue you accuse the club of and WATR??

Double standards.

You kept it hidden from the fans and claim to be for the fans. Why did you not disclose to us?

You clearly don't understand the law.

My personal diary is my diary,

I discussed with the steering group my concerns around the "threats" innuendo and our possible options.

As its a legal matter , it's not really something you post on a public forum

So go back to your masters and try a little harder.

I'm probably the most transparent person on my dealings with the club you'll meet.

I always post the content of any said meetings.

See his latest tweet, talking about deferred pension. That isn’t disclosed in the accounts. Clearly backing Waggott up. Another tweet where he said Waggott would do a good job if his hands were untied. 
 

He’s not said a single word about Waggott being the problem. 

Also not a single word why he had a private meeting on Thursday night with Waggott. Why are the other fan groups not told about this??

If I'm aware of something I will always say,

Defamation act 2013 you'd do well to learn it .

I’ve never been pro-regime. I’ve always said, what is the alternative? I simply cannot see any investor pumping in £25m a season to keep us afloat, unless it’s a fan, like Uncle Jack.

I stayed away as it was pointless arguing with people on here despite me knowing a few things through my personal contacts.

 

When I found out about this personal meeting between Waggott and Mullan, it did infuriate me because we have all been wanting communication with them directly, yet he had the platform and mentioned nothing to the public, until now when he’s been found out.

They'll pop everywhere now.

Already been advised that club been trying to peddle I don't go.

I've had same seats for 10 years. This season as my brother works silly shifts , he can only attend 40% of games and his lad 15%. Whilst my health is public knowledge .So we agreed to share the tickets and upgrade his lads when needed. 

Or if I went with Dan he just orders them. They probably couldn't find me last night for ages as I wasn't listed on named ticket. However managed to sit in JW upper first Half , and BBE where I usually sit second half.  I also did Jack's kitchen too.

Sometimes I go with my girls as I did last season when they were both mascots at £700 and then I put a further £600 into charity game.

I've been made aware what Rob (not gill) been planting around people to create a narrative that I've never been to rovers more than a few games in 20 years lol.

That number getting another raise.

Was £20m, then up to £22m the other day, now £25m.

How do other championship clubs do it?

three of your posts in 20 minutes undermining any point you’re trying to make and - along with your absence for a year - leading me to infer that you’re probably more pro-regime than your “what’s the alternative?” stance belies.

It’s true, you didn’t know the ins and outs. You got the ins and outs, then dismissed them out of hand.

You complain about a lack of transparency around a meeting that didn’t have anything to do with recent action, despite receiving information yourself from personal contacts at the club and not sharing that.

Everyone has a right to agree or disagree with the current actions and question people involved with it, but being hypocritical, reactionary, argumentative and - frankly - ignorant, does make you look quite daft, in the end.

 

[Mattyblue]

The old line that nobody else would possibly want to buy an established Championship club, with a 31k stadium, a Cat 1 academy and a decent training ground. Despite foreign owners falling over themselves to buy English clubs.

Aye, not remotely possible, so lets hope Venky’s stay for another fifteen years, we’d be Bury otherwise.

Your sinking quicker than the titanic behind your alias,

Don't think many on here don't know I meet with most people at the club and I know pretty much all of then. My meetings are usually posted on here the same day I attend.

I'm not a public possession, but will not have untruths stated against our supporters as I've the cash to take the legal action needed when they step over the mark.

With a much bigger fanbase than ours and much lower wage bill. 
 

By getting new owners, we will not see more than 20k at Ewood. What we will see is a lower wage bill, therefore the quality of players we can attract, will be significantly poorer. Not a chance we get the likes of Cantwell and Beck. 

[TommyRovers]

Football clubs in England never get bought, especially in this part of the country. Blackpool, Burnley, Bolton, Wigan have had the same owners for years. What?

Such a ridiculous narrative that nobody would buy us. Constantly pushed out there by people defending the Venkys.

If they want to sell, there will be many interested parties.

On Waggott, I've blasted him many times on here and on X, and will continue to hold him to account on the shocking stewardship of the club. 

Ffs we issued a statement last week telling him not to go.

However I've been getting rid of rot out that boardroom for 13 years and it can't be achieved by untruths being used as the commentary. As we as a supporter base lose credibility, whilst the one who tweeted it faces action by stating something as a fact on social media. So better to shut it down than a fellow supporter get a nice legal bill.

The club are trolling the whole Internet at the moment looking for a hook to prosecute , 

[Mattyblue]

How many clubs in the top two divisions have the same owners they had in, say, November 2010?

With the right people running the club, with the right intentions, we will see at least double the crowds we've been getting.

With the right people running the club, we would not haemorrhaging money.

Suggesting that Glen has some kind of underhand agenda is both bizarre and outs you as a Venky's stooge.

I suspect we're in the bottom 3 in the Championship in terms of wage bill.

As for bigger fan bases - we seemed to do ok 15 years ago. It's incredible what 15 years of owners strangling the life out of a club will do to attendances.

He has now admitted to the meeting. My question still stands, as to why it was kept a secret, when we the fans have been crying out engagement.

I am not pro-regime nor anti-regime. I am a fan of the club and have been all my life. I hate seeing Ewood the way it was last night. It wasn’t nice for me and my family attending, it can’t have been nice for the players or anyone involved. 
 

I want the best for us, be that with Venky’s or Joe Bloggs, I really do not care. Football is an escape for many of us and at the moment, it is nothing but a chore. 
 

What irks me is, this hostile atmosphere created, mainly due to lack of communication, yet certain individuals have the ear of the execs, but choose to keep it private, when it suits. 
 

I have read Glen’s tweets for a number of years and respect a lot of the work he has done. However, when we find out of these private meetings, it will antagonise any fan, especially, when we have all been wanting that very voice to communicate with us.

We are towards the bottom end of the championship in terms of wage bill.

There are Rovers fans out there, proven by larger gates for certain games, with the right approach the club could get them back.

The vast majority that have stopped going was because of the owners, why wouldn't they come back under new ownership and positive fan engagement?

In the interview, not a single offer made. Nobody has shown the cash either. 
 

I’ve been in business long enough, if you want to buy someone, it’s possible, so as long as you have the credibility or flash the cash. Quite damning, that in 15 years, this has never been done.

Very true. Waggott, Suhail and the leadership at Rovers are famous for not lying, misleading, or attempting to manipulate the fanbase.

If they say there's been no interest, there's been no interest.

I do hope that would be the case. I’d love nothing more than a packed Ewood. However, in the PL, we averaged around 20-24k. I simply do not see that happening, especially given the current global issues with rising prices either. That is my honest opinion. 
 

Even so, our current average attendance is 16k I believe, adding an additional 8k fans at an average season ticket cost of £300, brings in £2.4m. Let’s say an additional £2.4m on spends at Ewood (just made that figure up), then it’s an additional £5m, at best. Where’s the shortfall of £15m-£20m coming from?

How many businesses have you been involved with where the seller appears to be happy to lose £20m a year, running on for over £200m in debt, and makes no effort to improve the situation or engage with buyers?

This is not a normal situation. If it was we'd have been sold a decade ago.

Surely the buyer would then make it public? Like the dude we dodged under the Walker Trust, his name alludes me, but BBC did a documentary on him.

In addition, there was a chap who was on twitter not long ago, in MLS, trying to buy us but no offer made and we all saw through him, when he doesn’t have a penny to his name.
