I'm still dumbfounded by the startling admission by our finance director that he hadnt thought of possibly budgeting for non league football as we were not in the bottom 2 till the last 20 mins of the season!!
Surely this is incomptance at best and gross misconduct at worse?
As the Finance Director (and CEO it would appear) you have to be planning ahead for all eventualites and failure to do so is actually just plain and simply failing to do the job you are employed to do... on that basis and as harsh as it may seem to a few Toni Watola has failed to perform the basic duties of his employment at BRFC and should resign or be sacked TODAY!!

Because he knows where the bodies are buried.

Why do the directors know something different about him today that they didn't yesterday?

It's an old boy's network. Watola is going nowhere as long as Dunford is on the board.
Many years ago I owned stadium shares. When I asked for them to be repayed to me (which was my right - once per year), I had the pleasure of speaking to Watola on the phone. He told me it was best to wait a few weeks before he asked the board to pay back my shares as we'd had a few bad results and the board were 'often in a better mood after a win'. That's what you're dealing with. Absolute f***ing muppets, which they proved (again) last night from the sound of it.
Question for anyone who may know. Isn't Watola finance director for a number of GoD's companies? I wonder how much of his time he spends with Rovers and what percentage of his salaries Rovers pay.

Toni Watola - how is he still in a job this afternoon? . . . asks lockleazer.
Now that is a very good question indeed, and I shall look forward to reading the replies from posters better placed than myself.
But the one that has struck me so far is that he ''knows where the bodies are buried.'' That's good for an opening shot, and it's fair to assume that the in-depth review of the club has either passed him by, or he has been exonerated.

Also, you have to remember that this is the same person who told a roomful of supporters that breaking even was impossible, and that the club needed to aim for a 'sustainable loss'.

He is dead right though. That is the situation because of the Bristol Rovers business model, our costs (including those on the new stadium) are far greater than what we receive through the turnstiles or merchandising etc. We need 9500 fans turning up to break even. It's sustainable (at present) because the Board are able to find that cash to cover the shortfall and continue to run the business in that way. |
