Bristol Rob Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 11 minutes ago, RumRed said: The prior achievements appear to be excellent, Rovers obviously worked their socks off and broke the budget to bring someone of that calibre in, hats off. The prior achievements appear to be a load of old pony. He worked in 'every dept' exactly how many first team appearances did he rack up as part of the playing dept? How many players did he develop or sign as part of the management dept? If he said commercial department I might take him more seriously. Smacks of desperation.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 3, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 That profile is pretty bland, short on experience and achievement, which is plainly obvious by the fact he has ended up at ragbag rovers, rather than Man Utd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 1 hour ago, Rudolf Hucker said: I am lucky enough to have worked in football for the last 10 years. My journey has taken me from Portsmouth FC where I started as an intern, working in every department before settling in the marketing department in a full-time role. During my four years at the club we experienced two relegations, two administrations and an FA Cup Final. The highlight of my time at the club was receiving the Family Club of the Year award in 2012. This achievement marked a stark change from the clubs failure to achieve the Football League’s family Excellence standard just a year earlier. Tasked with improving this area I set about changing the ethos of the club to put the fan at the heart and improve the match day experience. This resulted in an increase in season ticket holders for the 2012-13 season despite relegation to League One. The experience gained here stood me in good stead for my future career. At Cardiff, in the first year, my team increased matchday hospitality revenue by over 200% from the previous season as well as leading us to the 2013 Family Club of the year Award. One area that received particular praise has been our new Away Fan Strategy which was recently featured in the Independant: http://tinyurl.com/nuhym5u In addition to this I was awarded the Star of the Future Award at the 2013 Football Hospitality Awards. I then moved to Brighton & Hove Albion as Head of Marketing where I was responsible for our sales strategies for all club commercial channels including ticketing, commercial, retail and non-matchday events. In 2015, I received the Rising Star Award at the Stadium Business Awards in Barcelona and in 2016 I was part of the inaugural Sports Industry Next Gen programme with honours. With the latter I am on a leadership programme in partnership with Barclays. I am now currently Commercial Director at Bristol Rovers Football Club, responsible for all of the clubs revenue streams. So far, I've performed seemingly impossible tasks like getting fat people eating pies. Condensed version: Portsmouth went into administration, twice! While I was there. Cardiff got promoted to the prem, so revenue increased. Brighton were challenging for the prem and had a brand spanking new ground to exploit. I can't believe I've ended up at Bristol ******* rovers! I thought I'd agreed to join a progressive club and misheard Forest green Rovers... bollocks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one to spread rumours, but I understand that rumours are circulating within the Bristol football community that all is not well at the Mem. Sources have told me that Dwayne Sports do not want to spend any money on the club and expect us to make profits. If any of this is true, then I can now understand why we pulled away from the UWE Stadium project. There are also rumours of conflicts within the Al Qadi family regarding the spending of money on Bristol Rovers. Hope none of this is true, but with many asking why Chinese people were at the game with Plymouth on Saturday makes me wonder if the Al Qadi take over has gone sour and the family are now looking at options to pull out! Seems like we are back in a mess, AGAIN!!!! “Fukin TEDs postin on r forum!!1”. They really are a special breed of divvy aren’t they?

Of course we must be in financial trouble. After all, our record transfer signing ONLY equates to 14.32 Tilsons. Also, our record transfer sell ONLY equates to a little over 40.5 Tilsons. Don't forget that we ONLY get over double their average attendance as well as make money all year round from our commercial activitiex. Add this to the fact our owner is a Billionaire that is willing to write off debt (or turn it into equity) and has paid for a redeveloped stadium out of his own pocket and you can see why HG would think this.

Henbury Gas Gas 2 minutes ago Quote anghymhwysedd said: "Are the Gas in financial trouble ? " ....No. Are the sh!theads in financial trouble ? they most certainly are ! It’s a record-breaking thread in some respects as it reached the 6th page before it turned into an anti-City ant-Lansdown diatribe. The question should really be ‘are all football clubs in financial trouble?’ And, of course, without the largesse of benefactors or extreme god fortune the vast majority would be. All this ‘tax dodger’ nonsense borders on slander IMHO, Steve L made his money in the UK and doubtless paid more tax in a year than most pay in a lifetime..He elected to buy a property in Guernsey, which anyone can thanks to their ‘open market’ property market, and still invests heavily in UK companies - which pay taxes, etc... We remain owned by a UK company whose major shareholder still lives in GB. They, on the other hand, are owned by an offshore (GB) company whose major shareholders live in Jordan. Perhaps someone should explain the basics of how an Islamic Bank (e.g. one from Jordan) operates too, but i fear that the collective IQ of the 2015ers’ ‘support’ is not up to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone should show them the "Lansdown's Millions" thread - to point out that even if we lost tens of millions this year, our owner has more than enough on hand to deal with it... Indeed as some people on that forum have pointed out - that amount of money (or the money to build the UWE stadium) is a rounding error (and definitely less than the interest!) on his fortune...
