De Keersmaecker would only come if we lose Trav or Tronstad, guarenteed. Gore I don't want anything to do with, makes JRC look like a low injury risk.

I think so, there’s only one affidavit listed** which isn’t related to when we know a payment was authorised (whether with or without a court order). I think it’s reasonable to assume the other one was related to a payment, whether one we’ve not heard of or where, for some reason, they sent the money in two tranches.*** In addition to this, I can’t see anything in any of the orders which requires one filing for any other reason. ** after the date at which filing one became a condition of sending funds (31/10/23) *** having looked again I’m not so certain in this, but still believe the June affidavit relates to the £4.85 payment being sent - I’m going out now but will explain my logic later on. (if anyone’s interested! 😁)

Only thing is last season the whole EFL started same weekend and League 2 were shown live at 3pm - the blackout didn't apply, shows it here: https://www.efl.com/news/2024/june/26/watch-every-game-on-the-opening-day-of-the-2024-25-season/ This season 1 and 2 start a week earlier. You are probably right regarding 12:30 kick offs but it is a bit different to last season this time.

Can we be certain that the affidavit is related to a payment ? Nothing showing on companies house regarding a new share allotment. There are other affidavits listed against the case which don't coincide with payments and some that do.

Next round, Herbster?

Yeah the TV deal is still the same so all first day, last day, midweek and bank holiday games will be live. That means no Saturday 3pm kick offs for the opening day for the Championship.

With this money they allotted shares in Venkys London Ltd, on the previous occasion they allotted shares in Venkateshwara London Ltd. As to why they’ve stopped creating equity in BRFC and have instead chosen to add more to what the club owes the holding company 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I think his replacement signed a few days ago personally.

Travs replacement, you would think.

This kid has been injured forever, would be a crazy risk to take him on, even on loan.

Don't see Keersmaecker happening now that we have Tavaras. Dan Gore, bloody hell. He has played 5 games in the last two seasons due to injury.

Thought they did this by an allotment of shares each time they sent money to the club. 28 June 2023 £21.665,000 was put in by an allotment of shares. With transfer income from January 2024 sales crazy they needed another 11 million by March

I think it may have done as the amount owed to the parent undertaking increased by almost that exact amount (£10,919,918) in the year ending 30/6/24 accounts. You do have to wonder how the club made a profit but ended up owing more to the Venkys mind…

Not wanting to be one of those who knows a mate of a mate etc, but i will be Dolan is currently on £2k a week. His agent let's say isnt exactly quiet on the issue in private groups Got to remember he signed a new deal only 6 or so months after joining for 300 a week. He hasn't signed anything since. Personally would be offering 10/12k a week. His performances towards end of the season, whether putting himself out there for a move or not, he showed he can reach very good championship standards. You also know you are going to get 100% pretty much every single game.

At least he is our shite.

It’s hard to tell going off “ highlights “. As far as we can see he likes to run with the ball from central midfield. That’s something we’ve been sadly lacking.

In march 2024 £11 million reached the accounts of Venkys London limited NONE of that appears to have reached the accounts of Blackburn Rovers. It remains to be seen if this latest tranch of money follows a similar route. The club's accounts year end 30 June 2024 page 9 talk about permission to send £15 million to VLL agreed 12 march 2024 subject to certain conditions being met which could then be sent on to the club. The wording suggests at the time of preparing these accounts that hadn't happened bear in mind the accounts were signed off in December 2024

Yeah I read that. I’m not to impressed with the new “ Sunday Observer “ . That article was interesting but on the whole the sports bit is abysmal. No mention of the England v Spain U-21 game the previous night at all ! I’m of a mind to cancel it after about 40 years of being a reader.

Anyone any idea if all EFL Fixtures are live on the opening weekend as well? https://www.efl.com/news/2024/june/26/watch-every-game-on-the-opening-day-of-the-2024-25-season/ Were last season, had forgotten about that. 12:30 Saturday away could be a possibility to start with?

As an individual he comes across as being very grounded. An unreasonable wage demand would shall we say be out of character.

Play off final date is Saturday 23rd May - get those hotel rooms booked lads!* * just in case we miss out on the autos (I’m channeling my inner Chaddy 😁😁).

We are trying to stay in the Championship---no more ambition than that. At the same time we plan to pay lower Division wages. It simply won't work.
