Anyone else find it strange that they put Jelf in charge of team performence following the review and then he doesn't attend matches ? How can he manage performance if he doesn't watch it ? He should be at most matches, he should attend training from time to time.
Anyone else find it strange that we have struggled for 14 years with player recruitment yet as a result of the review they make the manager the scout ?. How is that change ?
Anyone else find it strange that our league budget only enabled break even on gates of 9000 ? following the review we will only break even on 7600 gates. This is despite being over £7m in debt.
Anyone else find it strange that we appointed DC as manager without an interview following huge failures in the coaching team he was a big part of ?
None of this stuff adds up, it really doesn't. It leads to one issue really that those in charge have no idea what they are doing.

WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT!!
Stop asking sensible questions please.
How about the fact that when JW wanted out, NH moved him upstairs. He couldn't have a manager running the team who didn't want to be there. But....NH also wanted out last year.....how can we have a Chairman that.........??

Dins it shows just how much the playing budget has gone down by if that is the new b/even figure.
Seems as though only our fans directors bother going to games if the forum comments are true, how disrespectful to the other conf sides.

I hope that they`re turning up to games. Like you say, very disrespectful to the other teams, and our own team/fans. Bit like me doing my job without actually going on site......doesn't work!

Yeah none of it adds up at all. Chris Jelf has attended 1 match (so I'm told) but is responsible for the playing side of the business.

Just shows to me that NH is completely out of his depth, he's made bad decision after bad decision. 9/10 rovers fans knew that appointing DC last season was a disasterous decision, yet the man in Charge of 'our' club thought it would be ok. I know he can't be sacked as he's put his own money in but I genuinely believe if he was a decent sort of bloke he'd put it up for sale. The only redeeming factor of his reign is the UWE, 'if' that's all gone tits up then I don't see any way back for him.

If they are then maybe the fans should laugh back at them ? Perhaps the best way to get the message across that we don't like what they are doing to the club would be to ridicule them through loud infectious laughter, from all sides of the ground, directed at Box 1 tomorrow night ? |

The BoD should move along a couple of boxes; it looks as if they are "lording it over"/"looking down on" the Blackthorn End. |

It is a much better view though, and the BO is reduced

Being up in the boxes is a perfect illustration of the gap that has grown between Board and fans since the return to Bristol. Yes, because of course the directors all stood in the Tote End at Eastville didn't they? (or did they go in the glass box in the South Stand, then move to a new glass enclosure in the North Stand?). At Twerton they went in the stand in a block of reserved seats but there was no capacity there for a directors box. Don't let facts get in the way of the truth. The current board members have FAR MORE interaction with "ordinary" supporters than at any time I remember. As for whether or not DC is the right man for the manager's job, only time will tell. Personally I believe he will do well for the club. Am I pi**ed of with where we are? Of course I am and it's even worse that the 82ers are doing well currently but the constant drip feed of criticism of everything the club/directors/manager/players do is getting incredibly boring and is definitely counter-productive. Wouldn't be so bad if someone had genuine suggestions to improve things (and making it a fan-owned club is not viable) but I have not seen one positive suggestion on any of the forums, just constant moaning. |

Strong post mate, agree with much of that. The constant bleeting is just pulling us further down imo. We need changes/improvements etc, but let's not turn it into a witch hunt. Come on Gas, Lets get this win tonight! |

Come on Gas, Lets get this win tonight! You can agree with it all you like but it isnt true as you know by replying to my own suggetions. Lots of suggestions about positive change you just may not have read them. The issue is some people view it as negative if the suggestion does not include NH as chairman. I would say that is a very positive suggestion. |

The poster was referring to an overall constant of negativity, you actually use your opinions and sometimes use them constructively i have seen that, more should use the correct channels and offer ideas etc rather than just mouth off.

I didnt take it personally i just think you are not being honest. There is loads of constructive stuff on both forums about how to improve the club.
There is also a club strategy of labelling any attempt to improve or critique the club as negative and destructive that you are seeming to be taken in by.

I'll agree to disagree then. Thanks for replying courteously though.

In our recent history the only time the club acts is when disgruntled fans put pressure on the club. The new investment following the 2006 board split, the signing of Ricky Lambert, the sacking of Paul Buckle, the increase in DCs playing budget, the new signing yesterday. Fans getting disgruntled does not always damage the club it makes the club pull their finger out.
