www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/introducing-key-personnel-2985283.aspxI posted this on the UWE Stadium thread but think it deserves its own thread. Some very interesting points about the three individuals there. Good to see us moving forward very quickly (Wael has only been here 10 minutes!!). Top credentials, I know Wembley Stadium had its critics at the time build wise but to have the former Chief Exec of Wembley has to be a good thing for our stadium move doesn't it? He was also finance director of the FA, that has to be a step up from Tony! Interesting to see what Will Dubey does, he seems a young un and says he is the contact between DC and Wael when he's not around, it'l be interesting to see what exactly he does. Refreshing article though I thought, good to see continuous strides in what seems like the right direction. Can UWE finally seem like a reality rather than a dream?

The more i hear and read about our new Owner and the way he has got things moving at a fast rate of knots the more I can't believe it's happening. No empty promises just progress done the right way by people who know what they are doing!!

After reading this "My involvement with Wembley meant that I was responsible for the complete rebuild, from start to finish, and I was involved in every detail possible over a five year period." Has me thinking its only a matter of time, and not if, our new stadium gets built. "“Darrell is a great young manager and the future for this club is really exciting. If we can get the structure of the football club right, then the potential is massive and I am looking forward to the future" Seriously, I've never been happier to be a Gashead!!!

What more can we all say. Absolutely great news and a very informative read. All that tells me is the UWE is well on the way and is definitely going to happen.

Wael really is going about this in what seems like the right way. Id much rather long term goals then splashing the cash and finding ourselves in a position we can't sustain. Also a step by step approach means Darrell can grow with the club as we inevitably move up the divisons... feeling optimistic

"We need a new stadium" "Whats the best stadium in the country?" "Wembley" "Ok lets get the guy who built that in then" "Done"

So unbelievably happy with all of this, everything is being done perfectly and with top level appointments, it's finally sinking in and I am just loving it, rag bag rovers no more, we are now a very very well run club already it seems and it's only getting better.

Attachment DeletedWow.After years of bumbling our way through( i.e the promised total overhaul of the club from top to bottom which never happened),so uplifting to see proper leadership at last.Looking forward to what is for us a relatively short trip to Notts County Sat.The interviews brought a tear to my eye after so many years in the wilderness.

Let's hope he's learnt from his mistakes? www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-422936/Cunnah-pays-price-Wembley-fiasco.htmlIt seems he only lasted at Villa 6 months so he can hardly take the credit for them finishing 6th? Although the bigger worry is who's paying all these new appointments wages, they must all be on £100K+ but our income won't increase until the new stadium is finished? What's Will Dubey, only looks a youngster actually done in the game to warrant a DoF type role above DC? I sense this will all end with us in a brillant stadium playing at least Championship football, or end in tears like it did at Saturday's opponents not so long ago.

Some impressive appointments!
And to think we didn't even have a pitch side physio at the start of last season...
