My comment would be: "Why so long"? If Wael is in the country, GT is on the radio other than on a Saturday, or why not put the interview on ASAP, on John Darvall, or another program. They often do!

What motivates you to stay at a club where half the fan base attacks you when you reject a deal that clearly isn't for the best of the club? NOBODY HAS ATTACKED ME. I ACCEPT CRITICISM. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO WHAT I THINK IS BEST.
Anything else?

I thought we wanted him to be honest? Saying "nobody has attacked me" would be an outright lie!

Would the stadium have gone ahead if UWE had met the 10 day deadline? YESWould he go back to the negotiating table if UWE now responded positively to the content of the ultimatum (document with 10 day response time)? If not, why not? YESCan the current level of losses (£1.5 million plus a year) be sustained? NOIf not, what plans are in place to address this loss? SECRET PLANSHow long can the family under-write the current level of losses? 5 YEARSCan the club progress without a new stadium and the income streams it produces? YESDoes he accept the fans have been mislead about the likelihood of UWE happening? NO
Is there an over-reliance on professional advisers who fail to deliver? YES
Are there any plans for what to do now? YESWhy no contingency plan developed when it became clear he was pulling out of UWE? THERE IS BUT IT'S SECRETCan he categorically state that funding is still available for stadium development? NOT TO USCan he categorically dismiss rumours that bills are unpaid since March? YESWhy are loans not converted into shares to give the club greater financial stability and assurance? BECAUSE THATS TOO RISKYDid he make the decision to pull out of UWE or was it made by other family members? GROUP DECISIONAnything else? You should have been a political adviser.... I'll be worried if Wael does take this approach but I suppose we are no worse off than we were under Higgs as we were possibly only months from administration when he sold up.

Hamer said the UWE was finished and said nothing about anything else, other than a comments Like "Never say never" and about 'resurrecting' development at the MEM. So what talks? Or are you ITK as well?

I am not sure at questions regarding UWE need be asked of Wael - Funding was in place - deal need to be signed by UWE no later than 31st July - planning permission expiry date was looming. If UWE claim they had received no offer then they have a serious communication problem with their own legal team. I should also suggest the Rovers fans show the upmost respect to the AQ family after all they are preparing the investment of large sums of money in our club.

Wael is doing an interview with GT on Radio Bristol this Saturday and I think it's time serious questions were asked if the board. I trust GT as an honest guy, willing to ask difficult questions. I trust Wael will want to give honest answers. So, without being abusive and without anger - what would you like him to put to Wael? Personally I have two questions: 1. Why have Dwane Sports placed a charge on The Mem? 2. Have the Al-Qadi family invested any money in the club that isn't in the form of a loan? Is this the same GT who works for radio Bristol city on the channel called Bristol sport made me cringe listening to it yesterday

I should also suggest the Rovers fans show the upmost respect to the AQ family after all they are preparing the investment of large sums of money in our club. Was that similar to "preparing" to agree a deal with the UWE until last week? The main one for me Can you assure Rovers fans the ALQ's are still committed to Rovers in the long term even if the UWE stadium where is over, if so, where do you see the club in 2, 5 & 10 years time? What is Plan B now? Would you consider selling the club if another prospective owner felt they could still deliver the UWE stadium to long suffering Gasheads? Why did Steve Hamer suggest DC would be given a top 6 budget this summer but so far he only seems to have spent a mid table budget, with teams like Bury, Peterborough & Northampton seemingly spent far more? Do you still feel a top 6 is still attainable? If GT's got some b@lls Why do you feel a lot of Rovers fans don't believe a single word Steve Hamer says but find you a lot more trustworthy? Does Steve still have your full support as Chairman of your club?"

So basically you think we shouldn't ask Wael any questions? When did we move to N Korea? This is just like the old regime when NH demanded to see the questions before he'd attend meetings with supporters. Regardless, of your childish actions fortunately GT's still going to ask Wael questions at least he'll have a nice long time preparing them

What is Plan B now? Would you consider selling the club if another prospective owner felt they could still deliver the UWE stadium to long suffering Gasheads? WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO BRISTOL ROVERS AND MAKING THE CLUB SUSTAINABLE. A MODERN STADIUM IS REQUIRED TO FULFILL THAT. WITHIN 10 YEARS WE EXPECT THE CLUB TO BE COMPETING WITH CLUBS OF THE SAME POTENTIAL SUPPORT BASE. PLAN B IS TO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS IF THE UWE FAILS TO MATERIALISE. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED.
Why did Steve Hamer suggest DC would be given a top 6 budget this summer but so far he only seems to have spent a mid table budget, with teams like Bury, Peterborough & Northampton seemingly spent far more? Do you still feel a top 6 is still attainable? THE BUDGET IS NOT PURELY FOR INCOMING TRANSFERS. IT IS FOR SALARY, CONTRACT EXTENSIONS, YOUTH SETUP AMONGST OTHER THINGS. THOSE SIDES MAY HAVE SPENT MORE ON SIGNINGS BUT THEIR AVERAGE WAGE BILL MAY BE LOWER AND THEY MAY NOT INVEST AS MUCH INTO OTHER STAFF OR YOUTH.If GT's got some b@lls Why do you feel a lot of Rovers fans don't believe a single word Steve Hamer says but find you a lot more trustworthy? Does Steve still have your full support as Chairman of your club?" IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT FOR THE CHAIRMAN TO KEEP THE SUPPORTERS HAPPY WITH STATEMENTS AND FLOW OF INFORMATION. THIS IS BECAUSE THE DESIRES OF THE SUPPORT CAN OFTEN BE AT ODDS WITH THE REAL WORLD AND MUCH INFORMATION HAS TO BE CONFIDENTIAL.Anything else?

HE WILL BE ANSWERING QUESTIONS FROM GT. WE DID NOT MOVE TO N KOREA. THE OWNER WILL NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE QUESTIONS SO AS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE ANSWERS. CHILDISH? THANKS.
