Employees that had zero accountability because of a despot girl private ruining the club being asked to do some work getting mardy and moaning….who’d have thought it.


flipping lot should’ve gone, they were all complicit, if they didn’t like it they should’ve grown a spine and left…they didn’t.

intercourse em…

Let me be clear. I’ve not suggested for a minute that anyone has been treated badly, or that it isn’t the right decision to demote him, and then bring in a CEO over his head.

I was merely flagging up that it’s happened, that he’s been demoted.

Perhaps the owners have plans for the community trust, that they feel he isn’t capable of delivering. Or perhaps they have concerns about the way he was running things that we aren’t aware of. As I say, I didn’t make the original post as a negative. Merely to flag it up.


Hope that clarifies things


You’re as bad at back tracking than you are with your other garbage..

You’ve got some issues you should address..for your own sanity. That chip on your shoulder isn’t healthy.

Bloody hell! You’re furiously backpedaling like someone who realises he has gone too far! Worried that the club might conclude you are making unsubstantiated statements about them. Legal training kicking in.

In the GTSET announcement? Yes. Works/worked for Wilkinson Chapman who were the club’s solicitors in the old days of Philip Day and Ian Fleming. Not sure if they still are or not. Or if CG did any work for the club.

So Graham Rodger is out the door and is the next person being moved aside like Ian Fleming was.

His CEO job of the community department is being advertised. I guess that his token quote in the news article is a means to provide him with a bit of dignity whilst losing his job.

Have to say though, that it probably is high time that they brought someone in of the calibre to take the community department to the levels that the new owners want, with all of their plans for community engagement and installing civic pride.

You’re wrong. As usual.

Graham Rodger is both the Manager & Safeguarding Officer at the GTSET. He’s never been CEO. Check companies house. Graham Rodger has never been a director at GTSET.

He is also still the First Team Chief Scout isn’t he?

Quoted from Posh Harry


Imagining how bad it is now is one way of thinking about it.

Another could be, there have been a lot of people working for an organisation that had no ambition to grow, develop or move forward or put the investment into doing so and the people they employed were reflective of that (there are exceptions to every rule so I am not painting everyone with the same brush).

Now the owners are looking to move every department of the club into the new world and fit for the future which means that some haven’t got the skills to do the jobs, and others don’t want to change or actually want to do something they have not been asked to do previously.

2 sides to every storey.


An accurate assessment of what happens at most under-performing organisations that go through a leadership change.

Has anyone even taken into consideration that Graham Rodger may have decided, on a personal level, that he wants to step back with less responsibilities? Thus his old position needs filling, if he even is/was the CEO.

Remember the rumours about Mick the head groundsman and all the rumours that his job was being advertised and that he was leaving due to allegedly falling out with the new owners?

That rumour was totally crap. I saw him and asked him straight and he laughed, said he had read everything on The Fishy about him and couldn't believe all the conspiracy theorists who speak like they know the truth.

Well in his case, the new owners wanted someone else in to help with the multiple pitches around town. They offered him the new position but he politely declined, but was happy to work under someone else, on the same pay but with less responsibilities. No conspiracy theories enclosed within. Just plain facts.

From start to finish what a stupid thread.
