Any other factors are really just talk as once they own the club they really can just do what they want, I can't see any potential owners would have discussed with Wael that it was their intentions to dismiss JB/EJ & TG withing a few months of taking over. i agree it seems a total mess, we have the ALS wanting to go in one direction and Wael another, what doesn't help him is that the ALS have appointed all their own men in senior positions at the club and dismissed all of staff in senior positions, apart from MT you'd have to assume they'd support the ALS rather than Wael/new investors. Don't forget, Wael doesn't think a league one side needs a director of football and the AS'ds clearly do. He thought we needed a 'Director of Football Operations' when the previous scumbag head coach had a mate that needed a job. |

Is this kinda thing another thing to chuck in the Wael et al are stirring the pot? For owners that are being presented as skin flints, they do seem to want to put a bit of structure into the club. |

Anyway …… when we being taken over ? Sooner the better in my opinion, for what it’s worth. As long as whoever comes in, genuinely wants to sort our ground situation and wants to communicate with the fans once in a while |

He also justified it by saying city have lots of seats spare so can give kids £50 a season ticket with a free football shirt but we don't have that so can't do it. Where I'm stood on the thatchers I can see a few thousand spare seats every home game in the south stand so that excuse doesn't wash. They don't have a clue on how to run or grow a football club so I hope there is someone else in the pipeline that will come in and do it properly. Not sure that's really the case as all the seats in the West & East Stand are taken by season tickets holders and the seats in the new stand are cheap anyway for kids? Are the Dutch trio likely to have any idea how to run a mid table L1 club, the ex Man U players are hardly doing a great job at Salford? Salford? They might be plateaued in div4 atm but this is a terrible shout. I've no idea what the inner workings are there, but theve been in the league about 5 years. Multiple promotions, a Trophy, and the Man U players got involved in 2014. They've done a bloody fantastic job! |

I mean they have done a great job- keeping the club going, invest money to get promotions etc If the kuwaits arent even willing to speak to the consortium(apparently). Then u have to question what they have planned surely??? |

For owners that are being presented as skin flints, they do seem to want to put a bit of structure into the club.Indeed. They certainly have been laying decent foundations and correcting some of the mistakes we made letting one man control too much. Structure of the playing and non-playing staff seems on the face of it to be a big step in the right direction towards sustainability But, they really need to start filling the comms void and answer these genuine concerns, because otherwise gossip will fill it and the real issues (higlighted by 2 or 3 on here) will get lost in a mass of criticisms plenty of which may well be unfounded. |

I have only come here seeking knowledge. This is the room for abuse. Room for an argument is room 12 next door. Seeking knowledge is an area we don't do. (This forum does remind me a bit of that Python sketch) |

Man: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument?
Mr. Vibrating: I told you once.
Man: No you haven't.
Mr. Vibrating: Yes I have.
Man: When?
Mr. Vibrating: Just now.
Man: No you didn't.

I mean they have done a great job- keeping the club going, invest money to get promotions etc If the kuwaits arent even willing to speak to the consortium(apparently). Then u have to question what they have planned surely??? This maybe me, but I am reading this as being a negative thing. However, none of us know that. Some of us do know that people not being paid is something that happened before Wael took over and definately happened after Wael took over. Personally, I thought it was because they didn't have a Finance Manager in place. I think that role only got filled in the last 6 months or so (since May 24). They will want to get the systems and processes sorted (Zayn, if you are reading this, drop me a DM). I am going to take an opposite view and ask what have the As's done for us (I'll start): They saw the South Stand through to completion - One day, maybe we will be able to fill it Had a Q&A when they arrived. Yes, I know that was a while ago but I cannot remember one while Wael was in charge. Put in an employment structure that involves creating a scouting network and having a director of football. Paid the highest transfer fees in one summer than I think we have ever had if the £700k for Promise and Forde are to be believed. To me, this is evidence that they do have the best interests of Rovers at heart. They could easily have used the sales proceeds from Collins and Evans to fund the day to day operations. We don't know if they are working on stadium plans or they aren't. If they are, then I can understand that maybe they would want this solved before speaking to a consortium about selling. Having the plans and the planning permission will increase the value of their share holding. If someone can be more clever this time and actually put a bloomin spade in the ground then that planning permission wouldn't run out this time. I think they deserve at least to the end of the season. |

Is the problem with our owners not what they’re doing/ not doing but more a question around their communication? If they regularly kept us informed, would we have a different view of them?
I genuinely don’t know but could the lack of comms be a cultural thing?

I genuinely don’t know but could the lack of comms be a cultural thing? I think that is a fair reflection. Whether its a cultural thing or not, I'm not sure. When Wael joined us, I remember they were very quiet too. I think the fans have to take responsibility. Lets say the owners unveil the stadium upgrade plans tomorrow. Then when it goes to say the planning committee and there was something that hadn't been thought about included because they hadn't spoken to the local residents or the planning committee or SAG. I can see the headlines from the fans about how incompetent they are. I think staying quiet until plans are finalised is the correct approach and one less likely to water everyone off. |
