This kind of calamity instantly makes you think of Starnes, who was meant to be an upgrade on Hamer but is so invisible it makes you wonder sometimes if he’s still at the club.

As for the poll, I really don’t know. I would like to have taken my son to his first Rovers match, even as early as Mansfield away (we live in Yorkshire so it’s close-ish) but I think it’s wise to side-step it for a number of reasons.

This JB sh** is getting a bit over the top now. I just watched it unravel and so many Rovers fans have already hung the man. Let it go until we hear a verdict ffs, we now have women's rights knocking on our doors' they know as much as me and, they want to castrate him!!? Let it go for now until we know more, please. UtG The elephant in the room is his previous incarceration and his inability to control his temper. As far as I have read, he has never shown any contrition and so it makes it very difficult to feel sorry for him or give him the benefit of the doubt His wife DID call the police, this is true, only to later withdraw any charges. The CPS has made the call on this and I would bet his past was another reason for this. It’s very difficult to see this clearly Mart, many of his previous teammates are on record as saying once his self control goes, there is no cooling down. cigar on younger players eye, beating a 15 yr old fan up, very badly, side winding then kicking an already unconscious man, this without the betting scandal. Personally, I think Wael has made a massive mistake. The timing could not be worse. Guilty or not, he has shown the clubs that he is employed by are not exactly his priority. I know I have made some very stupid decisions but they were nothing, by comparison. As a former prison guard, I bet you have seen that type, many times, never guilty

I like Wael, and I like TG, but yes this whole saga has been treated shambolically by the club. Yes, agree Jomo. But, and I’ll be shot down here, TG is Commercial Director I think, so it won’t be directly his responsibility surely nor will he be accountable for that statement. I presume that directors have areas of responsibility and will be acting within those. Otherwise there’d be no organisation to it whatsoever. That being the case would it have been the whole board which approved that statement in which case I’m wrong and he is responsible? Or if it’s the responsibility of Wael, as owner, or someone else then I wouldn’t want to blame TG. I guess part of the problem is whereas TG is a known and visible member of the board there are a few who we never hear from, nor see so because he is visible we automatically say TG when we talk about directors. We don’t know do we? Part of the problem that comes from “open letters” being the main communications over the past year which seem to happen randomly, imo. UTG! ps. But yes, still a shambles.👍 I do agree with you wareham, I should not jump to conclusions. TG is perhaps a victim of his own success in engaging with the fans. The club as a whole is tarnished by the handling of the situation. Who knows who is most to blame, but without wanting to make it a witch hunt, I think it's fair to say that "the club" has not covered itself in glory.

By all means make your own mind up about JB. But it’s best not to use what someone who punched his pregnant girlfriend. A definite case of double standards, hypocrisy or kettle, kettle, pot, black. UTG! This journalist also said that he didn't become a teacher because he knew that "I could not remotely conceive of not trying to s**g the kids." He's a bigger piece of scum than JB. His latest article, today, is a lot different

Unhelpful & unnecessary to bump topics like this.
