Ollie until the end of season - bring a bit of passion, then a young hungry manager for next season?

Another james constable chapter how long did we wait for that joker tw## EFL hub now states edging towards staying at Gillingham ffs I assume @efl_hub must have read my post if they tweeted that this afternoon, given that the Kent online article I found dates back to the 2 July? Over to Sam Frost to now tell us tomorrow he won't be signing, even though he probably never really had any intention to sign in the first place. Exactly, this is the same Sam that 24hrs before he left, was sure that Ollie Clark was about to sign an new contract. When he announced that he had left, the report said that Mansfield came in at the last minute for him - to save face maybe? Well in the latest Q&A , he mentions that Mansfield came in for him last weekend - a few days before this all unfolded. Tells me just how ITK they really aren’t.

Well something doesn’t quite add up, as £18m @ Arthur David’s % holding gives a 73.4m total...

He always came across as an honourable man who always tried to do right by the club and players. Now he's stitched is up twice, which just goes to show what a bad judge of people I am 😕 We've only the BP saying GC came in at the last minute, plus it was only ever the BP who said OC was close to signing a contract, if OC's kept in touch with GC why would he leave it to the last day, I wouldn't be surprised if this deals been on the cards for months, whether Rovers knew is anybody's guess but we can hardly accuse GC of stiching us up if an L2 club has outbid us for our captain! Exactly, it’s the only thing the Post could say, to deflect from the previous days article saying he was close to signing. No chance that all transpired overnight, and can’t see Ollie making a decision like that overnight

I have just given up googling after about 6 different websites and newspapers around the country who all quote Rovers are about to sign 2 central defenders. They all quote their source as the Bristol Post. The Bristol Post is the only one not going public with their source. Is someone taking the mickey or did a lazy reporter see it on some fans forum wish list The story seems to have originated on the BP website, a "ex football agent" on Twitter also suggested Ehmer was probably a done deal but not Butler's, Grant also seems likely to be a done deal. Somebody has also told the BP Garner as a "big shopping list" but that can't be BG as Sam Frost said yesterday he hasn't given any interviews post Lockdown. Somebody is clearly feeding Sam Frost info, lets hope it's genuine info and not just an attempt to boost season ticket sales!! I think the problem is, opinion is often presented as fact with BP..

If ever there was proof the Bristol Live know nothing this is it, One day he’s on the verge of staying - next they report Mansfield are the favourites to sign him.... Another dent in their credibility and something to keep in mind when reading the twice weekly Q&A update, especially around the Fruit Market. This sort of thing happens in football all the time, the landscape can change by the hour let alone by the day. Not that often outside of a transfer deadline day, and without whispers or rumours?

It seems there is a notion, from its members at least, that the PC has some divine right to meddle in the runnings of the club, or that the clubs existence is dependant on them.
Newsflash - in 2020 it ain’t.
I can’t remember the last time that anything positive or even constructive was mentioned from the PC, or by a self proclaimed member here towards the current ownership.
Suggesting we look back to prove their support of WAQ, no sir - you post links to your quotes, for I don’t have the inclination.

I’ve given up on the Post, sorry Bristol Live. Thought Sam was pretty decent to start but not so sure now.
For every Q&A do real life Gasheads really value his opinion enough to always ask his opinion as to what position we should strengthen?? Or if JCH will stay??
I’m not convinced it’s legit either.
Also I’ve noticed they have started to prevent comments on some select articles which is a shame as 1) they were usually more interesting and factual than the article and 2) they can now control their own views and agenda even more.
Anyway rant over

It’s this bit that interested me, and the choice of language coupled with the talk of the FM purchasers coming on board...
I can confirm that I have no intention to sell the club and my desire is to retain a controlling stake whilst doing what is required to get the club to where it needs to be.

I think everyone is missing the point. Now that we have lost KM from the board there are now no Rovers fans on the board. What we have left is people who have increased the debt from £7m to £25 m in four years. KM has been a lifetime fan.It means that basically we have no chance of clearing the debt. In other words it can only go on increasing. That means there will only be one ending. Remember, Ken has never sought or received payment from the club. He was the only unpaid director. Some have said he was in it for what he could get. Like what? He drove to every away game at his own expense to represent the club, and on many occasions, this season, he was the only one there. He also bought several season tickets to cover the cost of his seat in the directors box. So what was he in it for? A free meal? How many of you would drive 200 miles each way dressed up in your Rovers finest, to get a free meal. What else did he get out of it? Nothing. He even spent £10 k of his own money to resurrect the Community Trust which was about to fail. He's never wanted it back. So what was he doing it for? BECAUSE ITS HIS CLUB AND HE LOVES IT. Never mind KM who despite asking what he had done wrong to lose his place has not had the courtesy of a response, The fans on here who concentrate on the KM issue are deliberately missing the only factor that matters. We are headed for bankruptcy. We cannot get enough people into our ground to reduce the debts, but of course Wael could convert them to shares. Will he? Not likely as he can't afford to.so there we have it. The two new directors whose identities are known to me received an email from Wael to confirm their positions, and they were cancelled the following day, what a way to run a club. By the way, I have seen a copy of the email. One dodgy area I can think of, is the matter of the share scheme. For almost two years money has been handed over to the club, (well over £100k)and despite many requests for share certificates, none have been forthcoming. As in Jims message this morning, even the share register at companies house has not been upgraded to evidence the additional shares. I can think of a couple of potential charges that could be laid in this respect. At last years AGM this was the first matter raised. Taylor Wessing who acted as co secretary (Mike Turner)were responsible for this aspect. And they were paid for the privilege.Yet here we are, another year on and nothing has happened. You lot rant on about Ken and SH, and wait for another staged message from Bristol Live which as usual will be vetted by MS. Meanwhile this club that we've all loved for so long is heading into Bankruptcy. Sometimes, our fans get the owners they deserve. I can't think of any other club where the fans would be so apathetic about what is going on around them. Why did the SC continue to give money under the scheme when not getting ‘receipts’ for their investment in the form of share certificates? Surely they should have stopped, just like any company paying for goods or services not received - you wouldn’t carry on regardless?? To knowingly let that continu and seemingly take no action, is that negligent or incompetent?

My point being, in that case it’s your opinion - therefore no different, no more or less credible than those in the last 316 pages.

I am not under and misapprehensions because I dont know all of the facts for either side. I can only work to what is proceedure for a company who no longer can trust a director. When I worked for a big Ltd company, I remember 2 directors being given the chop. One guy was a nause to work with, constantly and steadfastedly worked against the group chairman and whatever process that he implemented. However, he ran one of the top performing dealers in the group though and even after a good bit of counsel, everyone at the top end got sick of it, and he got the tin tac. The other person got caught misapproriating company accounts. Point is, both had the same treatment, immeadiate suspension and eventual expulsion. Now I am not casting any asperisons either way or remotely suggesting KM has commited a level of gross misconduct. But its clear that his conduct has fallen foul of what the owners expect regardless of what KM has done in the past. I am pretty sure that the club would have advised KM of a certain course, but its pretty clear that KM did align himself with Steve Hamer, who they got rid of, so without having to be too Einstien about it, if you stay aligned to him, dont expect to have much of a future. The SC will have a value for having fans volunteering for things, but the club will look at it from a pure business perspective, in other words, for the 8% shareholding, how much do they donate to the club? Is it worth them having an official link? How much have the SC given BRFC this year? How much is in their own bank account? What is the state of their accounts? To be absolutely sure that this is such a great organisation I would like to see some of the above. Oh dear. I am sorry for you, because you say you do not know the ins and outs? BUT you have formed an opinion! Sounds like Starnes and/or Wael (in the box next to you) have already formed your opinion for you! This is not a matter of how much money the SC has, despite what Wael or Starnes tell you - have you wondered why? You will soon find out! You might take a view from ED? Who mighty have an interesting view on the situation. Be in no doubt - the future of Bristol Rovers FC is of concern for many reasons. If the future of our club is in jeopardy, or any sort of real concern - why not tell us fellow supporters? I can’t see why anyone around here would want to be the ITK’er that didn’t share such vital information, which could prevent such a thing from occurring. Or then again is this all just hearsay and opinion from some who are in/out of favour with the board? I really can’t stand the ‘you will find out soon’ stuff - if you really can’t share the details (NDA etc) then just say that, otherwise it’s a choice and posting the teasers is for reasons I don’t get...

Re-instated for what reason exactly?
We are told there are no board meetings, or that they happen without Ken. He clearly has little or no influence according to those that tell us so
Perhaps a board meeting is now planned, if so, are you happy the SC FD cannot attend? What if during that meeting it's planned to discuss selling the Mem and ground sharing with Swindon for example? The owners have now effectively removed the SC right for a representative on the board, having forced one to stand down they've now banned the second one. Whether you agree how the SC is being running at present and have not taken to KM as a SC rep, that surely can't sit comfortably with any Rovers fan? One of the few things I took from Saturday’s horrible interview was that the club seemed open to having a SCFD, it would appear just not the current incumbent, for one would assume what it sees as good reason.
