Aware that you want the minutes to read something like: ’KH, when standing up for the message board, ran across the table and gave SW a right hook across the face and shouted Venky’s Out’. That didn’t happen though. (Not just because I attended the meeting remotely 😅). I did challenge our CEO as soon as questions were open and if the minutes don’t convey what I said, I’ll be happy to expand on them.

The Bear. Holy sh1t, it’s incredible.

Take it how you like, I suppose, that’s up to you. I thought I was pretty clear, I guess not clear enough.

It means exactly what I said it means, it’s not one to overthink.

Probably fair enough, though it’s hardly like anything juicy will be omitted from the minutes at the request of the club, tbf.

Nah, it’s a budget for now.

Yeah, which we do and I have done. The meeting was only last night and I was on here at the crack of dawn answering questions to be fair.

I gave some information before I went to work at 6am this morning and I’ve had a really busy day in the office, so I can’t spare all the information everyone wants immediately, I’m afraid. With some of the attitudes before and after the meeting from members on here towards the forum, myself and other forum members could easily have told people they have to wait for the minutes quite frankly.

Honestly? Pretty despondent. Nothing much has changed my view of the club needing a change of just about everything. We apparently are going to have a transfer budget, but my faith in the top brass at Ewood is still as minimal as ever.

I imagine so, I’m not responsible for writing the minutes, myself!

I did. I didn’t ask some of them, as they were asked by other forum members before I had chance to though, just in case anyone is suggesting I’m shirking my responsibilities!

Steve Waggott was present.

If there are things the club has asked not to discuss until the minutes are released, then I’ll do that. Otherwise, I’ll probably not shy away like!

I’ve got a very long list of things to ask and won’t be taking it easy. Appreciate it may not always come across properly in the minutes, but they’re only a summary. I’ve supported the club for over 30 years and had a season ticket for as long. It’s my club too and I absolutely have a dog in the fight. As ever, if anyone wants to take my place on the forum and believes they can do a better job, ask more probing questions or make the top brass feel the heat, you can always take my place and represent this site. I’ve no problem giving my place up for someone who thinks they’ll do a better job.

Copy the web address into removepaywall.com and have a butcher’s. You’re welcome.

More chance of Charlie….

Just a gentle reminder to all. There’s a place here for ‘happy clappers’, there’s a place here for ‘doom mongers’. What there isn’t a place for here, is personal insults, so please don’t. Ta.

Waggott’s very bothered about money and hitting financial targets. He doesn’t care how many season tickets we sell, as long as he nails the former.

He was very much front and centre on the golf course tbf.

In an ideal world, of course, I’d want an English manager. The reality is though, there aren’t many good ones at all.

Nice for the penny to finally drop with him. Hopefully those Lemmings that comment on the LT wake up too, but I’ll not hold my breath like….

Even if he wins the WC?

Depends what we want to do. If we actually want to win trophies, then we’ll hire a manager with a proven track record of doing so. If we just want to hope we eventually strike lucky and hire someone with no track record, but with no actual desire to win things and just keep bumbling along, then we’ll hire someone from within and the saga continues.

Eight at Gazegill, sort of near Gisburn. A restaurant on a farm, basically. One of the best meals I’ve had for years.

Right decision at the right time. He did a lot right with getting people back on side with the national team and giving us some pride back, but ultimately, he was brought in to win trophies and he hasn’t managed to. Not saying the latter means he’s a failure, but football is about the trophies at the end of it and the wait goes on for us.
