Barton Post Rovers Thread

I can't wait to see how this is defended.

It happens. Currently as we have black rock/Vanguard imposing political values un democratically on any listed institution, several companies have targets for female management % by specific dates.
You are assessed on gender balance in workforces and boardrooms.

This means when a role comes up, this is a factor is if they don’t hire more women at certain levels they will lose capital inflows.

“ In the U.K., BlackRock will push companies to have at least 33% female directors and at least one director of color.”

So yes, it’s objectively a hiring criteria as the most wealthy investor on planet earth is basically saying if you have too much penis or pale faces in senior roles you have to hire fewer. I let’s say the next 3 roles just happen to have the best candidates who didn’t happen to be in these groups and they legitimately hired them on a fair assessment, they would face financial penalties.

The counter to this is the idea businesses have the candidates but they are run by racists and sexists who deliberately sabotage the careers of others at the expense of their margin. Which I think it preposterous.

The main determinate of privilege in this country is your economic background and that’s where you get the links and contacts to get high up - and the skills to do those roles. This tends to lend itself to those firmly established in a region with long family histories of money and connections. Go to China and you’ll find the same. It’s Chinese families with sons and daughters who have mixed with the elite who get the roles. Those ESG criteria will not be levied on the Chinese to ensure they have Europeans or Indians in their boardrooms, because it’s pretty obvious why there’s not many people from Stoke running Chinese companies.

The thing is, his supporters are now like the Hitler p**s take video in the bunker when he’s going mad at everyone and let’s not forget our previous manager mentioned the holocaust and despises Israel (see his Twitter) and before someone grabs onto this, I’m not saying his 4 remaining supporters are Nazi’s either!

But what remains are the ones who for 18 months were hammered for questioning him and the likes of me and Gasdust, RD and others feel really vilified to get right on it now. I’m told I’m obsessed, here I am giggling, Gasdust drops me a text to say, Betty is about to blow up again, it’s brilliant, he was on the committee of the Barton Supporters group.

Many of his supporters just keep quiet now but not many admit and openly come on here and say the backed a vile low life scum bag.

My head is held high, for 3 years I never once sang the man’s name who made a women press the number 9 button three times.

And I will keep posting as long as the 🐊 keep posting back.

As for Topper, it tongue in cheek he made Piley commit fraud, your has shouting your porridge is getting cold, leave you bedroom pal!

Mods please move this to general chat, it’s long gone past Rovers related content.
Not afraid to admit I supported JB as our manager, he’s now history as far as I am concerned and Gaschat is rapidly heading that way with this continual Barton and Barton supporters bashing.

I'm only quoting you as you are the latest post but its an interesting debate.

The gender in management question I think I can understand.

Roughly 50% of people are women so if all things are fair and equal then should not top management jobs be roughly around that too? If not, how do we redress that?

I accept that there are some jobs more suited to certain genders (there are always exceptions).

I can also accept your point that "positive discrimination" isn't always positive and that there may be, in some cases, over representation in the name of diversity.

In an ideal world a meritocracy would be better but there has been a white male patriarchy that the pendulum needs to swing a bit too far the other way to compensate?

I'm not a fan of discrimination but is it necessary? I don't know the answer, and I'm not suggesting it is necessary.

Surely a former recent manager is Rovers related, particularly one who's gone from sexism to racism tweets overnight on X?

You have to sense at some point the club are now going to have to make some kind of statement to distance themselves from JB.
