Seems every time someone has a chat with Hamer, they come away with some disastrous apocalyptic news...is that because of what he is actually saying or just the interpretation? Never had the 'pleasure' of talking to him myself and don't ever wish to considering the negativity he seems to spread - but perhaps worth checking to see if he is invested in a pharmaceutical that is manufacturing anti-depressants and mental health medication, and hence his apparent desire to constantly spread negative news...as Chairman - isn't he supposed to represent a positive and uplifting vision of the club? Gosh, welcome to Gaschat, new poster, whose first post is to cast aspersions on the mental health of our chairman. |

Does anyone actually know who the op actually is? In discussion with my oppo "Blueside" we are confused as to why a Chairman/Director would divulge this sort of (alleged)information to some random character, is he known to them?

It is actually a very important question.
There is a lot of concern going on behind the scenes at rovers. Nothing to do with stadium, mgr, players or money (there may be some of that as well but I'm not party to that). it is to do with senior staff, roles, resignations and consultation.
Board meeting today.
Anyone who knows anything about life & work will know that we are all human and things like this can happen. It's not unlikely & isn't nrcessarily 'negative'. It's just reality. And as fans we do surely want a sustainable future for our club & for the people & volunteers who care about it.

But going by your comment, my interpretation of it is that you are party to senior staff, roles, resignations and consultation. Is this correct?

Wael has apparently stood down at the Jordanian FA to spend more time with Rovers and we have a New CEO who has just started.
It would hardly be surprising if there was some restructuring. Doesn't have to be alarming or negative. Just business

Anyone else find it interesting that we have 2 newbies on the same page on the same thread within 20 minutes of each other?
1 who talks about the negativity of our chairmans and the other could be the chairman as sounds like they are 'in the know' about senior staff, roles, resignations and consultation but not 'in the know' about stadium, manager, players or money!
I could be putting 2 and 2 together here but I find this strange/suspicious. If I am wrong then I apologise!

In discussion with my oppo "Blueside" we are confused as to why a Chairman/Director would divulge this sort of (alleged)information to some random character, is he known to them? I have posted my photo, name, where my seat is, where I drink before a game, what more info do you want, my avatar even includes my surname. Yes SH and the Directors know me and we get along fine. No, I do not get confidential information from any Director but when I ask questions like Ellis , I usually get an honest reply and am told that the info is not confidential. If it was confidential, highly sensitive I would not post it. I think it may be best if I gave this forum a rest but I will be at Melksham, wearing a badge ""I'm Severncider" if anyone wants to have a sensible discussion. I hope we all have a good 2018/19 but for the time being, adios. |

I could be putting 2 and 2 together here but I find this strange/suspicious. If I am wrong then I apologise! Apology accepted. I registered in 2015 actually. You seem to prefer to nit pick than to just read what I wrote and think about it. As I wrote, it's not a unique situation. All businesses etc go through this at some point. Ok, I will change the bit I wrote that you wish to nit pick. I'm not that interested in all the stuff about stadium, leases, budgets etc, and don't get involved or ask too much about that. Interested more in the community & volunteer side. I added that bit to make it clear this is not a negative bashing or suggesting the club is going bankrupt, DC is leaving, the world is melting down... |

When I first heard of the appointment of Martyn Starnes, I found it slightly odd that BRFC would have room for both a CEO and a Chairman. In an era where everybody seems to be saying that we have no money to splash around, I am presuming that both positions command a significant Salary and ongoing running costs, so the money must be found from somewhere.
However, more importantly, I was also uncertain about where the duties of each would start and finish. I might be wrong about this but, for as long as I have known it, the Chairman has fulfilled the role of both Chairman and CEO.
Maybe the OP is simply trying to identify how the two new roles will work together and which one of them will have the responsibility of hiring and firing. Maybe there will be some undercurrents between the two roles whilst the exact nature of those duties is divided and Maybe the OP has picked up on some initial friction - who knows.
Note the use of the word Maybe - I guess I am just adding my own speculation to this and I would like to confirm that I am NOT ITK. However, I hope that the OP realises that he or she now has a responsibility to report back to this forum to clarify his/her original comments, as and when they are confirmed, in order to avoid further speculation.

I added that bit to make it clear this is not a negative bashing or suggesting the club is going bankrupt, DC is leaving, the world is melting down... Glad you accepted the apology. I didnt know when you registered as I dont click on people details to find out. Cheers for that info. I just seen '1 post'. Interesting that you took 2/3 years to post your first comment but each to their own I suppose. No crime there! Just for the record my reply to you came before my observation of it being your 1st post.
As for the nit picking part, not really a nit pick was it? You said there is a lot of concern behind the scenes, like you know something. You then confirm you were not party to some things. You then confirm the concerns behind the scenes is to do with senior staff, roles, resignations and consultation. All I asked was a genuine question is if my interpretation of your comment was correct. Where was the nit pick? I was just trying to clarify what you meant.
But going by your response where you have decided to change your words, clearly my interpretation was wrong because your 1st post made out like you were party to some things but not all things but in fact you have kindly confirmed that you are party to nothing at all. Its just the stuff you are interested in. Thats fair enough. No crime there. Glad thats cleared up.
So now I am not sure what you mean then in your 1st post about there being a lot of concern going on behind the scenes, when you don't know whats going behind the scenes, if you catch my drift. How can you say there is a lot of concern going on behind the scenes if you dont know what is going on behind the scenes? I am sure you will probably claim I am nit picking again but its your words not mine. I am just purely trying to understand what you mean, before you think I am being funny.
Cheers.

Not going to happen. He has not answered anyone's questions about his comments and now instead decided to take a break away from the forum. |

You say you don't post "confidential" information, in that case why did you not impart the potentially upsetting info? In the main we are adults on this forum; you are more likely to cause a meltdown by hiding "facts" away from people. Have a good day now. |

I seeked clarification about their post as by my interpretation of it was that they were implying they were in the know about some aspects of what was going on, especially when they say "there is a lot of concern going on behind the scenes". Like how would they know that! They responded to my question by claiming I was nit picking so they changed their words which gives a new interpretation that they are not in the know about anything. I am still unsure what they therefore meant about "there is a lot of concern going on behind the scenes". I asked this but no reply. Remind you of someone we know? |

Unlikely. He's been called out again, and this time has decided to run off so he doesn't have to justify any of his posts. Anyway, 1 down, 1 to go..... |
