Let them get on with this evolution thing and see where it takes us I say, what’s the alternative? A mass walkout because we hired a secretary who used to work for Notts county

The reason I don't think our present owners can continue to run the club for much longer is that they seem to do everything backwards. We've had a few 'nice to haves' i.e. Bigger media team, more medical staff, London office, expensive legal representation, etc etc. I'd just like to know why we haven't even begun to put the infrastructure in place to pay for it all. Now I understand that not only are we bringing in some guy from Plymouth who will be given the power of hire and fire over everyone currently at the club ( what does he know about our club ?), but he is also bringing his own PA with him. Now not being of a cynical nature, I can only assume she must be a top notch typist, if we can't even find one of them up here in Bristol. I wonder how much this lady is going to cost the club? Personally, I'd rather see their wages added to Darrell's budget. I think I'm right in saying that she used to work at Notts County. Don't know why she left there, but I'm sure there are equally as efficient secretarial staff amongst our fan base. Given the new guys remit of eliminating our losses, and boosting income, the easy answer for him would be to remove several of our present staff, who are dedicated gas heads of many years standing. My answer would be not to appoint him or his PA and that would save well over £100k pa, so what does our immediate future hold? Well in my opinion, as there is still no planning submitted for either the training ground or the Mem/new stadium, we either get new owners who know how to run a football club, or we go bankrupt. We just cannot go on spending money that we don't have, with no means of recouping it. The corridors of power are sounding optimistic. Heres hoping.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤐🤐🤐 Playing budget comes from how much commercial revenue we make. The staff wages come from the club's bank balance, which is being held up by the Al Qadis - in other words, they're paying for the staff. Furthermore, a CEO's job is to maximise revenue, which in turn would increase DC's budget. If this CEO is getting rid of staff that are unneeded, then good. Regardless of how long they've been at Rovers or not, or if they're fans, we can't keep staff here for sentimentality if they're doing boondoggle jobs.

You could say that Tom Gorringe didn't know anything about Rovers before he joined and the job he's done has been fantastic from what I've seen. and he has a PA as well

I think you'll find there are people on here and certainly on the other forum that have been stabbing others at the club in the back for years complaining about the lack of professionalism - old pals acts - letting people in for free, stealing from the supporters club etc etc. Perhaps the saying a new broom sweeps clean applies here. New, proven dynamic staff I would have thought would be the way forward in building a professional infrastructure that is sustainable to move us forward. Yes we have had some great servants in the past that have given their all for the love of the club but isn't that why partly we are known as ragbag Rovers. Sorry it's time to move on an embrace the real world of professionalism which invariably means speculating to accumulate and will initially come at a cost that will hopefully be recoverable further down the line. Short term pain for long term gain I would suggest being the mantra that underpins evolution not revolution.

I went for a walk around Bedminster the other week, and I reckon there is a flaw with this Evolution concept.

So the club appoint a top flight CEO and PA, but they put out to grass our ex stadium manager and with the potential of our Chairperson retiring some time soon, i think the club is saving money not spending it

All guess work about whether things could go tits up over the next few years or massively improve or stand still. We don’t know we’ll just have to wait and see and I don’t see the point in assuming the worst and doom mongering. What will it achieve ?Let them get on with this evolution thing and see where it takes us I say, what’s the alternative? I guess we have evidence of what it's achieved by looking at our recent past? On the one hand the OP was desperate for the UWE to proceed but on other now wants all the old guard to retain their positions at the club like any progressive business some staff have to fall by the wayside so it can progress.

You come across as someone with a nose out of joint because you used to get inside info via the old administration which boosted your ego and kudos and now you no longer have connections. Desperate. Get a life. Evolution not revolution and if you look close enough, you will see that is happening around the club.

Also are you sure about SH retiring soon as didn't we only have a nice new comfy looking chair installed for him at the Mem this week?
