So basically the op goes to the development game at almonsbury yesterday where wael,hamer,darrell clarke,marcus stewart and others are present and with a nice friendly smile on his face has a chat with someone or other to do with the club. He finds out a bit of extra information about the CEO having his own pa. Then he runs onto the forum and stabs the people he was smiling and talking to in the back in a naff attempt to stir people up. Not me pal. But other websites are quite informative. You sad, sad little old man. |

Not his fault they've moved The Corridor Of Certainty and not told him where it is now.

Might be a good thing if he doesn’t know a lot about the club, would be easy to be biased and turn a blind eye to things if they’re being ran ass backwards..

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.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤐🤐🤐 I think I've asked this a few times before and not received a response: Has your narrative now changed from "the owners do not have enough money to run a football club" to "the owners are spending too much money to sustain a football club"? |

Can people just be mindful of their language and aggression on here please.
These kind of threads usually result in backlash about forum rules that the mods have to deal with...

Whilst not agreeing with the style or much of the content of Gasincider's post I'm afraid throwing abuse at him may only be a way of concealing the unease which some fans feel about the appointment of Martyn Starnes.
I was expecting a big shake up and ruffling of feathers at the Mem within six months of the takeover and when it didn't happen I began to be concerned that there was actually no plan in place to restructure and revitalize the club. Now,over two years later, we are appointing what appears to be a steady 62 year old safe pair of hands who is experienced in working at lower league clubs with financial difficulties.
Plymouth Argyle have actually started work on a major rebuild of their ground and are appointing younger and seemingly more dynamic people to their board of directors. If Rovers really are serious about redeveloping the Mem and creating a Championship quality business structure I should have expected a different kind of appointment.

as for younger, more dynamic people isn't that the sort of person Tom Gorringe is (even if he isn't on the BoD)?
and if Plymouth have actually started work on a major rebuild, I presume Mr Starnes was at least aware of all this whilst he has been at the club

There is NO substitute for experience. as Motty once said “ we are into extra time in this pulsating cup tie here at a rocking Goodison Park. Everton are about to make a change. It looks as though Experienced and steady is coming of to be replaced by Young and energetic. What a brave move by the manager” So I call rollox |

Tom Gorringe is certainly an asset to club and, as he has proved, is undoubtedly "Championship ready" But I feel uneasy about this appointment because Martyn doesn't appear to have the experience or qualifications to be able to lead the transformation of the club from where we are now to where we want to be. |

But how long is that transformation going to take, we seem years away from getting a new ground, in the meantime the new CEO seems a safe pair of hands at this level, plus he's hardly going to demand a mega bucks salary. If we do ever get a new ground Starnes will be 65+ by then so that will be a perfect opportunity to bring in somebody a bit more dynamic/expensive. |

Can you explain please how he gets this experience without getting a job to learn this experience ? |
