Not sure on the state of play with that but i presume they are much smaller self sufficient operations. I do know something bit the dust over there and i don't think the big Swiss vaccine plant plans they had ever got off the ground.

Rovers also apparently being investigated by hmrc too

Today's article in The Athletic (and NY Times) will be uncomfortable reading for the Rao family. They must surely be getting the message now that any issue within the club will be attributed to their brand name and family name. Whether this is enough for them to realise Pasha appears to be lying to them I don't know but the pressure continues through some exceptional work by Glen, Rory and co

Don't they have various pharmaceutical interests in Europe? Wonder how they manage to get money to them if needed? Although they're maybe all profit earners or at the very least self sufficient.

Hmmm knowing how things work over there i think they've every right to be worried they'd never see their money again regardless of the outcome. Main danger though is it could just go on year after year and tie up tens of millions although their alleged mega generosity due to being double billionaires seems to have disappeared these last few years.

I mean, in an ideal world, we'd all like our wide players to be chipping in with 10 -15 goals per season but I really don't think 7 is that bad. If he'd reached double figures that would probably have been regarded as an excellent effort. Not far off.

we`ll miss his work rate,thats a sad fact,he`s inconsistent but never shirks in the yards run stat we are seemingly letting a another player go for nothing,you can`t run a football club like this and expect to stay in the division,sooner or later it`s all going to come crashing down,rovers must be the only professional club that don`t bother that their better players end up leaving for nothing we are also without doubt are the worst run club in the whole football league set up

Yep. (Speculating here)......maybe it's like Exiled said and they know there are further matters yet to be uncovered therefore they know they'd be likely to lose any monies put up as guarantee. But.....(Thinking aloud) If all other dealings related to Rovers are above board then even with a politically motivated Government gunning for you, surely any guarantees given in that respect should be safe and there shouldn't be any worries in that respect about sending money over. It's a weird one.

It just means they were desperate to get him off the payroll so probably took a small fee in return for adding a big sell on.

Well if mine's correct i think it was our mate Nixon putting it about so how true it might have been is up for debate 😁

i think it`s massively far fetched that the imbeciles and incompetents in the ewood back office were astute enough to negotiate a big sell on clause for a player that was out of his depth in english football😅 nixon must have run out of rumours to make up,so he`s invented this one

Correction. In the Venkys back pockets!

It was higher up the list this time as it was deemed a new matter (albeit clearly linked to the ongoing one).

I think the charge is they bought Neville’s house with money they said was being sent over for use in their poultry business.

We got the case heard PDQ this time compared to all the others. Perhaps there's ways and means when you really need it.

But giving a govt who are actively trying to nail you for something they presumably haven't yet found is a massive risk for anyone. Again not defending them it's just the harsh reality every time they hand some over or provide guarantees they might be waving goodbye to it if they govt turns something else up or comes up with an excuse to pilfer it. It is to my mind an impossible situation that could go on and on, there is only ONE realistic outcome unless it all gets canned quickly and that is Rovers go bust. There is only two realistic ways to counter that under their watch pay up when needed or SELL !

The BOI dont seem to have any issue with them though as far as Im aware? I'm not fully up to speed on what they're meant to have done or not done but obviously, yes, IF that has occurred that potentially could be quite serious. The only things I was aware of were allegedly improperly using VOL funds (which obviously should only be used for BRFC purposes) to buy Neville's old house and the Akon shares

Maybe this guy wasn't given a proper chance to adjust to the championship .... Good bit of business for once, pity we don't have 40% sell on for Adam Wharton

Venkys wanted to send money in April. They have been impeded from doing so for the past 2 months. What do you not grasp. ? And yes, by and large they are choosing not to and let the club fund itself. However, as proven, when they need to, there are significant impediments.

Do I win a prize 😁😁

100% correct ,he saw the upcoming ****storm and left for a club that is functional,ismael will likely to the same when he finds out he`s been shafted over the budget,i give him till christmas before he`s had enough and leaves the building

Exactly!

Your memory is far better than mine!

Aye wasn't that Derek Shaw's thing last time to taps were off, running around offering a big discount on future add on's paid up front ?

Palace will probably come and try to shaft us again by offering £2m in lieu of any future Wharton add ons. Our lot will probably say yes.
