Fair point Harry. However this does rather go against running "a more professional organisation" if Dwane Sports are handing out jobs (I presume without even advertising them) to the owners 'mates'. the club as we know lost a dedicated and skilled programme editor last Summer and a personal friend of mine and the new editor was a former Plymouth Argyle employee known only by the CEO. That job was not advertised either say no more! I assume you still have a good working relationship with him though...

That job was not advertised either say no more! My understanding is that the CEO job wasn't advertised either. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong). That's a pretty important position - right? I'll do a quick one now: "Wanted. Highly paid CEO required to help run Bristol Rovers FC. Preferably mute. No current job specification currently available, but we can make that up as we go along. These things take time you know. The successful candidate will have access to a lovely London office". We are being run by a bunch of bloody clowns. The more you hear, the less professional, and more incompetent they appear. Wael appears hopelessly out of his depth. I'd feel sorry for him if he'd had the guts to front up and tell us what was actually going on. But the time for that is long gone and IMHO he does not have a shred of credibility left.

Clowns are supposed to be stupid, not so sure Weal lining up all his mates as employees to milk the club dry is that stupid?

Thursday's AGM looks a bit of a damp squid given the club's owners etc seem to be boycotting the Fans Forum this year. Wael usually appears at these Supporters Club gatherings and answers all questions posed. Just how are you sure he wont attend In FACT are you a FULLY PAID UP BRSC member ? If not you CANNOT attend. Why do you think I'd want to make the 140 miles round trip from Worcestershire to hear some old farts talk nonsense for a couple of hours? As far as being a BRSC member what do you think I'd gain as a season ticket holder, who's no interest in ever using their organised travel? As regards to Wael attending it was announced before the meeting Chris Hargreaves was doing the post meeting "Fans Forum".

Genuine question i understand Dwayne sports want 25million plus for the club is that for all the shares or just their 92% if so that makes the supporters club shares worth 2 million plus if so say new owners want complete control the supporters club cops 2 million do all members get a dividend ( just asking for a friend who might want him and 12 kids to join )💷💷💷💷⛓ Where's this gem of info come from as it's the first I've heard of it on the forums?

Given the amount of abuse on the internet is it any wonder they don't want to go, especially as they don't pick the team ect. I have often thought if I was the owner and got a lot of abuse, I would just walk away, and take the money with me Oh it's OUR fault then! Silly me. I am pretty sure that the few blinkered fools who still believe that Dwane Sports have the best interests of the Club at heart - are the same fools who will blame "keyboard warriors" when ultimately (and I pray soon) the Al-Qadi's are "driven out". You think they don't deserve criticism? You think we should stay quiet whilst they lie about the Stadium development and Training Facility? So we certainly shouldn't question: lack of direction, lack of leadership, lack of communication, the money squandered on an invisible CEO, Crazy Steve, and the other senior hires, the outrageous sum of money spent on totally unnecessary London Office, lack of investment in the squad, and lastly, that f*c*ing Family Stand. So they might sell up because people on the internet say unkind things? Really. Bottom lip trembling? Boo hoo. People are such rotters sometimes. F*ck off Dwane Sports. I have no sympathy for you. F*ck off. It’s a shame it’s only possible to like a post once! It really does beggar belief that the Al Quadis still have their myopic cheerleaders. They are duplicitous, disingenuous cowards who blame everyone but themselves for their failure to deliver anything and don’t have the guts to face up to the fans. FAKES!!

That should get Shawcross crying. Better give his Mum a bell to come pick him up. No words to express my disgust for a club that don't; A. Terminate Shawcross' contract, he had previous before the Ramsey incident. B. Do anything to discourage the abuse that Ramsey received from their brain dead mob, and no, it wasn't just a few of them. Spiteful, hate filled morons. The Wenger thing was funny, that was banter, the stuff directed at Ramsey was vile. You are acting like the spiteful hate filled moron on this thread. You know absolutely nothing about Ryan Shawcross, the Ramsey incident, or the reason he gets booed by Stoke fans. I can smell Goon.

You know absolutely f all about Ryan Shawcross, the Ramsey incident, or the reason he gets booed by Stoke fans. Goon. I know the reason Stoke supporters give, because a young player, laying in a hospital bed, not knowing if his career was over, wouldn't accept an apology from a thug, who had done very similar things in the recent past. Now, off you toddle and think up something else that in your imagination I don't know. At least we now know where you stand, in your world view it's acceptable to laugh about an incident like that and sing songs about the player walking with a limp. Shame on you.

Shame on you for your sweeping generalisation about Stoke fans. Shame on you for making up lies about Shawcross being a thug and having previous. Shawcross was a young player himself, he made a badly timed challenge that wasn’t malicious and he was devastated by the outcome as were most of the Stoke players who went to the aid of Ramsey whilst the Arsenal players surrounded the ref. If this tackle had happened in a game against say Everton it wouldn’t have had the hysterical media coverage that it got. There has been plenty of worse more malicious tackles than Shawcross on Ramsey probably every week. It’s the gutless glory hunters who are full of hate. Clearly you’re a goon, shame on you.

Oh great now they look like they are holding the club to ransom! There's rumours of a Board meeting today so perhaps they've reduced their demands.

I'd be fascinated to know what value they think they've added since they took over that would increase the market value of the club to that level. Clearly there are improvements here and there but then you offset that against the spiralling debt levels and it's hard to see where they're coming from. I wonder if Hani's pressed the zero one too many times on his calculator.

Oh dear, have worked it out, I don't follow a PL team but you are still all wobbly lipped about getting smashed on Sunday and worried that St Totteringham's day, suspended for 1 season, will be back in May. Want a video of Shawcross sliding through the side of an opponent, then, when they are both off the pitch, looking down and stamping on his ankle? The guy is a thug. But of course, according to Pulis, he's not that kind of lad. Now, if you could be a decent lad and apologise for the bit above where you said I had lied, that would be super.

Who the f are Totteringham? I couldn’t give a flying one about any London team. Glory hunting parasites that support Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester etc when they have zero connections with those places are a cancer of the game. Like I said you know nothing about Ryan Shawcross or what type of player he is and just because you keep spouting bollox about him or the club he plays for doesn’t make it so. Hysterical nonsense. Anyway I come on here to talk about Rovers and I’m sure no one wants to be bored by big club apologists so if you want to continue with this let’s take it elsewhere, like the Oatcake forum, that would be fun.

So, a Stoke supporter, that explains everything. Very few people excuse the way Shawcross has conducted himself on the pitch through his career, apart from Stoke fans. It's no secret that Ramsey was booed off the pitch on the day and has been subjected to vile abuse at their ground for a decade now for not accepting an apology. As for the rest of the rubbish you wrote, you know better than me what I know. Prove it. That's just a ridiculous assertion, either that or you believe in some kind of solipsism, in which case, you probably need help.
