It's clear that Wael thinks Barton walks on water. So has allowed him to basically bring his mates into every key position in the club, whether they are able to do the job or not. What other Chairman would allow a manager that not only had 1 crown court trial, but two, to carry on. Every other manager facing that would have been on gardening leave. I know he got off both cases (by various means), but that's not the point is it? I know there's normally a bit of nepotism in every club ( Look no further than our current chairman), but the CEO being Barton's mate as well is not the best in any shape or form.

I've heard people on here talk about the Rovers reporter, but had never read one of his articles. Talk about over the top. Barton took them down with a whimper, and then managed to get them up with an amazing 1/2 season, which he's never replicated, and was driven by a wonderkid. The way that reads is like some articles on Guardiola and the recruitment strategy at Man City, or some of the articles that look in depth at Brentford etc. Ashton would have loved him to be our reporter during his time.

Swede Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 So, as far as I can make out, they've done an "artists impression" of their new permanent structure but no detailed drawings. They haven’t submitted it to the council for planning approval. Presumably, therefore they also haven’t consulted the residents immediately behind this proposed structure for comment & how it could impact them. They plan to open it in August 23 ready for the new season and are actively selling season tickets to their lemmings for it. I hope there's a sag out there who can read this, they'll then understand why we laugh at them so much. Unbelievably tinpot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReds Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 That Post article is mental, could easily take multiple parts of it and rip it apart as laughable. But I do like the one quote here where he seems to be taking credit for Anderson "Jennings’ principles also guided the decisions to bring in James Connolly and Elliot Anderson in January." Rovers or Jennings simply just got lucky with Anderson when they signed him on loan. Due to their brilliant recruitment planning by the likes of Rovers, Barton and Jennings, Rovers were basically ringing around clubs at the end of the transfer window scrounging for any players (not too hard to believe). Newcastle had Anderson and they offered him to Rovers, they said he was an excellent prospect but a lack of experience, so it would be a bit of a gamble if it would work out or not. There was no "guided decisions" to bring Anderson in, unless you count guided into scrambling around clubs scrounging, they just got very lucky due to their own planning of recruitment being abysmal.
