Clerry Jambo Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I know it's not an original topic but does anyone else think it's a disgrace that you could count on 1 hand the number of times he has turned up at Tynie to watch the side in the last couple of years. I would imagine a fair number of punters would be quite happy he stays in Lithuania but it does back up the argument that he has lost some interest in the club. When you think he hardly missed a game home and away in THAT first season, now it appears he couldn't give a monkeys. Are there many other Chairman who own their fitba club who behave in this manner?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Are there many other Chairman who own their fitba club who behave in this manner?? Yes there are but maybe not as disliked as he is. Malcolm Glazer has only been to Old Trafford once or twice since he bought the club, though his sons make regular appearances. The first signs of such happenings, started last season with Abramovich. When was the last time Tom Farmer was at ER? Or are we talking exclusively about chairmen rather than owners? I dont think Dermot Desmond is a regular at Darkheid. The list is bigger than many think. These are only few examples of such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 He doesn't really need to, all he does is finance the club. His son Roman is the Chairman and he has all of his own men over here or travelling back and forward from Lithuania, the club is quite steady just now with Csaba in charge of team afairs, I'm not bothered he isn't turning up, I'd like to think he was waiting until we were top of the league or in cup finals etc before he comes back.

Springer Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I was particularly annoyed ('shaking with rage' in fact), when one of our glorious leader's men (I think it was Fedotovas) stated that anyone who did not renew their season ticket was not a 'true supporter' given that the majority shareholder and chairman of the club can't be bothered to turn up at the games. I'm fairly sure it was part of the damage limitation statement that was put out following Romanov Junior's appalling performance at the AGM.

marshallschunkychicken Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yawn The OP has a decent point there though, John. What I find difficult to understand is how he has lost interest to the point of not attending, but still allegedly would feel the need to play football manager himself by picking the team. Surely that sort of control, but remoteness from the action can be achieved by the actual 'Football Manager' game at a fraction of the cost....

But since the begining of the 2006/2007 Season VR has been to very few games - this has coincided with a period that saw our budget cut, our best players sold-off and the fortunes of the team were as bad as we've seen in 20 years.

Romanov still provides financial support to the club even if he is not attending matches. Plus he also has further to travel than most club owners and ST holders. This is just another weak attempt to have a go at Romanov. It is solely his decision whether he attends or not. HIs attendance record was never going to be maintained at the level of the early days.

Ok, i take your point but does a chairman really need to be at the club if he has capable men running it for him? Does Vlad showing his coupon at Tynie make us all more confident the team will win? Don`t think so. How he runs the club is the main thing and how he deals with the men he has given the reigns to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter nonsense. He stopped going at the begining of 2006/2007 - the abuse towards him then was minimal. What was the excuse then ? IIRC it was posted on JKB that it was UBIG's year end results blah blah - that turned out to be utter nonsense aswell. He doesn't want to be here because he failed to beat the OF.

hinksikensi Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It basically boils down to this. He showed up all the time in 05-06 season because he still wasnt that well known in scottish football so wanted his mug to get known and recognised. He wanted to make a name for himself and create publicity and get everybody talking about him. Now he has achieved this and he is now known to everybody in scottish football he doesnt have to show up anymore, hence why he's not been here for 2 seasons.
