of course it benefitted football as a whole.

from 15/20 years ago. Social media and online media is here and you can used to your benefit or not. Rovers should do more and communicate much better and communicate to your supporters. Waggott and Gestede should have been out there after Eustace left and when Ismael was appointed. Why Gestede was appointed. Etc etc Its about open with what and why decisions have been made and communicate those decisions have been made to your club supporters. Its called effective communication with your stakeholders.

I know what I said thanks RF99 but the overall point was footballing structure to prevent the Gallagher type situation and have more structure and scouting system to finding and recruiting potential players to sign. piss off? care to explain it more?

no one employ managers anymore. Its the head coach structure now with Sporting Director or Director of football. the game has moved on

ok thanks for sharing that. I apprenticed it 👍

Nathan Aspinall has been very good tonight, deserved to be in the final

Communication is part of the issue under these owners and it has been many different situations. The Eustace situation was one example or why GB left and the plan was after or the Indian Court situation. Plus many other examples Clean plan and communication with the supporters goes along way and explaining to us the supporters why decisions have been made.

The world has move on from those days. Clear, proper and quick communication with supporters is valid and making people feel part of their club and know is going on whether they like it or not

it was just one example of why the communication should have been better.

thanks for the reply. His profile is still on the website and says he is still on the board

When did Duncan resign?

had the communication been better for years and they communicate properly, we might not be here now For example Derby approach Eustace and Rovers on the Friday before the Wolves game but somehow he is allow to take charge of that game then he said he has just find out post game about the approach, which wasn't true. Rovers and Eustace didn't tell the fans the exactly situation, trust breaks down there. That situation was mis management by the club. Rovers should have put Eustace, Downing and Gardiner on gardening leave and Rovers should have put Lowe and Johnson until further notice. Rovers on Saturday morning release a statement saying Derby has approach us for Eustace and his staff, They want to hold talks with them so they have been place on Gardening leave and who is in charge of the first team affairs until further notice. Sadly we didn't do any of them and we didn't know who was in charge of WBA game until 2 hours before kick off. Then after Eustace move to Derby was done and confirmed, Rovers CEO or Director of football should have been in front of camera doing an interview with Elliott Jackson, Radio Lancs and Rovers TV explaining why Eustace left what the plan is going forward and the process to appointing a new head coach. Then why Ismael was appointed, Gestede and Waggott should have done a press conference with Ismael telling the fans why he was picked, etc, etc. Same with the transfer window, etc, etc.

It was post and point about how a football club should be run in my opinion. Not going how good and bad our recruitment has been this season cos we done it before and before, so isn't really going to get anywhere is it? 🙄

James Anderson isn't in the squad for tomorrow game.

Looking forward to another PL darts night. Hopefully Luke Littler will win.
