Certainly looks chunky compared with his colleagues.

I am missing JDT Press conferences

Only pointing out what a CEO's job entails. Waggott is not fit to be a CEO.

Feeling very apprehensive about this one

My first post on this thread. When in a relegation battle, the most important rule is don't lose relegation 6 pointers and we have broken it twice in the last 11 days. So we are suddenly Stoke fans for the next 12 hours. If the Potters lose at Loftus Road we are deep in it.

Venky is the nickname of the Rao father who founded and built it up. So Venky is Rao. The folk running the show now are actually Dessais. The daughter and her husband. The two Rao brothers have equal individual votes with the husband and wife but take a much lesser role in operations. Madam is effectively the big boss.

The correct answer is no idea. But external factors have resulted in promises to Lambert and JDT being reneiged on so it is a good job Eustace believes he already has the tools to do the job. Reverting to pre March 2023 Venkynomics and behaviour, we would be looking at a Gregg budget of around 15m. March 2023 feels like a lifetime ago.

Now we no longer have Adam in midfield, we are seeing how integral he was to the side and what a huge hole his leaving has created.

As CEO, your job is to manage upwards as well as the business. Swag clearly is failing in that regard too.

Have I missed Harry Leonard getting injured? He is a natural finisher and header and that last gasp header would probably have been a goal if Harry had been the one with the chance.

We are hoping for the best of JDT ball allied to Eustace. Last night we got the worst of both.

If we get relegated, it will be 100% the responsibility of this incompetent as CEO who is failing on every practically dimension a CEO is measured on.

Not tonight..

Oh dear that was really bad. Huge job for Eustace to do now.

Gally showing the case against giving a new contract. Chrisene poor. No penetration in the team so far. Good job Birmingham aren't shooting straight .. yet?

I don't believe we have a sell on. Hope I am wrong but I don't think so.

Totally mystery this one- impossible to forecast with any confidence. We have beaten Brum during the JDT era when in all honesty they played us off the park.

I have seen a report Waggott was seen looking discomforted by a Waggott Out sign in the Jack Walker stand. That said RoversTV wasn't showing anything of the Directors' Boxes beyond an "oh look, there's John Eustace" just after kick off and the camera had moved away before I had chance to look up and see the picture of him. I really do think the day trip to Pune has been discredited BUT as has been pointed out, if they can make Zoom work better than they can file registrations, the meeting could have happened virtually. Certainly in the JDT v Swag muscle contest, there was definitely a point at which Swag was losing as evidenced by JDT taking charge v QPR so Swag has swung the Raos back into his corner at some point last week.

Been looking at press and video coverage of Swag in this somewhat eventful week and I am struggling to find the gap of sufficient time for him to have made the trip to Pune, had the meeting and got back. I did a day trip to Memphis once but that involved the best part of three days from leaving my London office to getting back to my desk.

Worth recalling that Broughton has said very clearly that his job has always been to have a succession plan for all positions he is responsible for. The speed of the Eustace appointment reflects that. And other than possible Swag sabotage, as far as I am aware there was no plan on either side for JDT to leave so soon until the McGuire cock-up. Not all was rosy in the garden and there was a serious problem but not with JDT directly beyond the long running antipathy JDT/Swag which was manageable. Eustace could be a very good addition but Swag remains a massive problem. And then there is the Rao family who apparently are not all singing from the same hymn sheet and at least one of whom intervened very directly 9 days ago if certain leaks are to be believed. If true, Swag is unlikely to be CEO beyond the end of the season.

Yes definitely need to get Dolan signed up.

Well done RoversTV for a long lingering look at the Waggott Out banner! No passing it about at the back or short corners and possession dropped from the 60% norm to under 40%. The direct stuff lead to the third goal but would we have been going so direct without Gally restored to centre forward after such a long lay-off. Hedges, Brittain and Chrisene were all excellent but JRC slightly less influential than I would have hoped for. Really pleased with McFazdean and O'Reardon looked promising in his short cameo at the end. Great to put another 2 points between QPR and ourselves and for Eustace, a nice selection headache forTuesday.

Eustace is a Stoke City squad player after the Champions League winner. Good luck John- we all need you to have the luck JDT didn't get. Massive baptism of fire walking into a dressing room in an edge of relegation six pointer after no time with the players.

Devastated to see JDT leave despite the departure being so protracted. From the moment he got gagged from talking to the press before the QPR game, we all knew he was being elbowed out. What a thoroughly classy man. Brilliant communicator and passionate football coach. I used to look forward to JDT's pressers just to hear the way he spoke in what is, let's not forget, his 5th language. And yes he gave us all a glimpse of what Rovers could and. should become in both the league and cups. The highlight for me was the West Ham penalty shoot out- I would never in a million years believe 10 Rovers players could take 10 such brilliant penalties! He had a vision and a project cruelly destroyed by Venky's again reaping the results of their idiocy a dozen years ago and a CEO who is so far below the standards and professionalism set by JDT that he is worse than an earthworm to JDT's eagle.

Oh my goodness! I had forgotten football clubs were supposed to play football.
