Forget cash or card, let's concentrate on the real subject Gorringe. Have you noticed he never makes eye contact whether in person if you have the misfortune to meet him personally or with his obscure preference for interviews with sycophanic kids posting blogs on so called dynamic young football administrators. Instead of making the person in conversation feel welcomed and valued, Gorringe with his non eye contact projects the people he's addressing are beneath him, by doing this he comes across that he's hiding something or that he's lying, of course which he is. The Al Saeeds have worked him out, but due to the incredible generosity and need of the former majority shareholder to have a conciliator in his camp doing all his dirty work the Al Saeeds don't want to give Gorringe a penny in a ridicolous severance remuneration package which wasn't of their making. It is clear to everyone, even to the specially well rewarded recipient cultivated Gorringe supporting posters on both boards the boy was promoted way beyond his capabilities. We have problems Houston, we have lost contact with our club, stand by for the the fall out between two warring nations, who wins, of course, the ones who write the cheques out every week to keep the club afloat. I have met him and I have to be honest he acted exactly as you described. |

We have problems Houston, we have lost contact with our club, stand by for the the fall out between two warring nations, who wins, of course, the ones who write the cheques out every week to keep the club afloat. This goes back to the question mark over how thorough the due diligence was. They should have had their people check all the liabilities which existed and certainly taken a close look at contracts and pending actions involving any single potential claimant with a liability of over, say, £30 000. If the Al-Saeeds did this and knew Tom would be liable for a large severance package if his contract was terminated then, IMO, they should accept it and reach a compromise with him. If they didn't check every liability so didn't know the size of the severance package they only have themselves to blame but, IMO, if they want to terminate it then Rovers best interests would be served by reaching a compromise with him rather than let the situation get toxic. However if the correct questions were asked but the full extent of the liabilities was not disclosed then that would likely result in a dispute between buyer and seller. I also think it's relevant that the club statement said Barton had been "relieved of his duties" which implies he is no longer doing the work but his contract is still being paid. |

I hope in the general negative feelings towards TG we don’t start getting too personal. Criticising decisions made, administrative cock-ups, the general feeling about his ability as a CEO and his tendency to control who interviews him is ok but best not to stoop to comments about his personal quirks. I think we’ve got close to doing that and I think we’re all better than that on here. Just saying.
UTG!

The bloke doesn’t deserve a dignified exit. The way he treated long term, loyal employees of the club. Karma strikes again. What happened/what did he do? After making this strong statement regarding Gorringe, alloutofgas needs to say what happened. UTG |

That's a fair enough post Mr Bond.
I try to be objective, because when I was in his company prior to his CEO status I found him a knowledgeable, respectful chap but aloof and distant. Happy to keep a distance. Which was fine, I'm in no way criticising that.
I think he's intrinsically shy. Especially around certain folk. I also think he doesn't handle confrontation very well, nor being challenged by anyone perceived to be beneath him, something I would assume CEO to be competent at.
Just for clarification, I don't think he's been sacked, but if the club/Wael/shareholders want a scapegoat.....well you can do the math yourself (Americanism)

Perhaps if he’s intrinsically shy then he may struggle at some of the inter-personal stuff which I could understand. And of course that then asks questions about the attributes needed when appointed and the appointment process. Round pegs and round holes rather than round pegs and square holes eh? UTG! |

Rounds and squares are Rovers all over isn't it?! Nice post btw about personal posts. It's easy to let slip into that domain. |

Let's just say one of the futures wasn't so Bright, as that nepotistic appointment (without interview of other potential candidates, hmmmmm?) cost the club something in out of court settlement. I'll politely, respectively leave it at that because I don't want to prejudice anything else and it would be unfair on parties to comment at this time. |

Certainly not trying to trap anyone o2, but if someone makes a statement I think it’s only right that they can back it up with facts. As I said I have not heard of Rovers and wrongful dismissal cases. |

Rovers need to cash out and discourage betting
It's a big gamble keeping AM and a bigger gamble building without planning permission
The odds are on a press statement next week
Time to cash in on Collins in the January window

Hacker T Dog did the full commentary on Belgium vs Russia at the 2014 World Cup. A definite step up in quality from the usual BBC output.

I have met him and I have to be honest he acted exactly as you described. I don't know anything about Gorringe and his personality etc but I would just say you shouldn't equate avoiding eye contact with meaning someone thinks themself to be above you. I'm autistic (high functioning) and I hate making eye contact, it doesn't come at all naturally to me I have to really try to make eye contact with people. It could be that he just isn't comfortable with eye contact, or even is self conscious. From what I've seen of him he looks like an estate agent or someone who would sell you a dodgy car, but who knows maybe he's a really self conscious person who tries to make up for it by using too many hair products. |
