According to members on the other forum news due in October

Wise words swiss.
Some people try to take our owners to account and ask perfectly reasonable questions of them. 
Some people are apathetic and take whatever bullsh*t our owners come out with and "if you can't put up £30mil of your own money, you don't have the right to express an opinion".
I wonder which of these two sets of people actually have the best interests of the Football Club at heart?

Hugging the player is harmless fun, the other stuff isn't. Just because you don't like the guy, it doesn't mean that everything he does should be considered inept/disrespectful or sinister.
I don't think there is any doubt that he is unable/incapable of helping the club progress (although I still cling on to a tiny shred of hope that he might) but to get upset or annoyed over him larking about is just daft.

Statements can be proven by writing fact after them. Especially if you use capital letters.
FACT.

So true Swissgas - the man is a fantasist and is deluded propped up by freeloaders as they gradually are bringing Rovers to its knees. If he does not go NOW, the Club will not survive. The Supporters Club, President's Club and previous Boards have all contributed to a Club that can hold it's head high, but the future is in doubt if WAQ does not admit he is incapable of heading a football club. If you go now WAQ you can claim to have saved the club from non league - but you do not have the money or nous to take the club forward - please go.

That's a bit ranty/rabble rousy for you? [/quote]

yes, I agree & I had my doubts on if his account has been hacked ?

how little you know me.

I was looking for alternatives to the board as far back as 2001. In the split of 2006 I was a very active supporter of the ‘losing’ side, things that had consequences for another decade.

IMHO we’ve been led by fools for the best part of two decades. A few of us were speaking out for most of that time and were criticised often by many people. It’s not the criticism of the Al Qadi family that grates so much, it’s the rank hypocrisy that those making the majority of noise where the ones showering previous owners with praise when the club was sinking into oblivion.

I understand where you are coming from there Jack.

A couple of weeks ago I upset fanatical By posting criticism of the way he and “the ciders” were trying to get their message across. And one of my first ever posts on the forums was a criticism of the 2006 RAC group for appearing to walk into a trap and not be properly prepared which allowed Geoff to brush them aside with ease. That is not to say I didn’t like Mike, Colin, Kevin, Kim and the others it’s just that I felt they had made a tactical mistake which, as you say, has cost Rovers dearly because good people were lost to the cause. My criticism is intended to be positive not negative and I can justifiably claim to be as big a critic of Nick Higgs as of Wael and it is all done in (as I see it) the best interests of BRFC. We have to learn from past mistakes so whatever the future holds for Rovers I feel it is important that fans are prepared and ready to unite.

I’ve said before when posting about the business side of the club that it’s hard to find myself on the opposite side of the fence to old hands like Cheshire and Oldie. Equally I feel uncomfortable when posters like Bulbous and Rex think I am being trivial and can understand why they should feel that way. Like most fans I’ve gone through the range of feelings about Wael from “great hope” to “nice guy but out of his depth” to now when I do think fanatical is right and Wael is showing a devil-may-care attitude which could do serious harm to Rovers.

It may be that the interests of Hani and the rest of the Al-Qadi family now fully align with the interests of Rovers and that Wael is the odd one out. As much as some fans still find a way of believing  Wael is a nice bloke and passionate Gasheads would those fans really put his personal egotistic interests before the interests of Rovers ?

swiss i dont find your views  as trivial, like all of us we have rovers safety central in our thoughts, its just i cant see how a celebration can be wrong ?

What is this video clip of Wael behaving like a kid after the friendly game in Dublin, that people speak of?
Is there a link to share?

And what is the hugging a player being interviewed?
When did this happen? Is this the same video, or a separate incident?

Ta.

I understand what you are saying about the Dunford “brand” and doing a survey was an excellent way of getting feedback. Without any knowledge of the politics at the time all I can say is that the plan seemed good to me and it is a pity there was no way to force a compromise.

If today there is another good plan to provide Rovers with a new stadium, financial stability and a chance of success then it is very important we don’t let the Wael “brand” stop it happening. Which is why I’m sticking my neck out a bit by saying I think Wael is a danger to the chances of Rovers emerging from our current financial mess as the kind of football club most of us want it to be.
