If the approach is true, then either they weren't serious about buying, or Venkys weren't for selling.

Makama is tearing up the Championship with Norwich. He's a powerful central striker aged 21 signed for £1.2m from Lincoln at the beginning of August. Gestede should have been all over that earlier in the summer.

15 minutes to go, so hopefully I jinx it, but Norwich have turned a corner as predicted by many and will be leaving us in the dust shortly

Norwich certainly not going down. It's now 2 from us, Oxford, Pompey, Charlton. I think WBA will have enough to claw away and Leicester have too much quality even though they will have a big points deduction. It's looking grim. We have by far the worst manager. Us and Oxford will be the two to drop imo.

I’m sorry but this post makes absolutely no sense. Please feel to expand upon why relegating an English football club will make a global bank decide to write off loans in a different country secured on assets in that different country. Also, please explain the legal mechanics of how V’s will then go straight to liquidation (bankruptcy is for individuals not companies BTW) without bothering to go into administration & why/how that is beneficial for them? It’s really simple IMO…V’s have reduced the budget (probably at the suggestion of Suhail) & as wage bill & league position are closely correlated in football, the inevitable result ultimately will be relegation.

Some very rich people don’t like wasting any part of their wealth. The Raos might be wired differently but it’s not because of how much money they have.

"Aaron", like "Madonna", I guess?

Folks with Rao wealth are wired completely differently.

Palace falling apart at the moment. On current form of all the teams in the bottom half, they will go down.

Topple Pasha by him missing his financial targets. That is part of the strategy.

Don't do it, Adam. Don't make me hate you.

They're arrogant, spoiled, billionaire brats who inherited Daddy's business empire and haven't a clue. There's zero chance a letter gets past their secretary's secretary without going straight in the bin. They wouldn't lower themselves to interacting with people like us.

Thanks for the usual wisdom, I had never realised that was allowed on a professional contract, as opposed to youth/non-league players. But I suppose it makes sense if it's just between u21s.

I was thinking pen and paper, proper old school 😄

Glenn has his WhatsApp I think!

Has anyone tried writing an old fashioned letter directly to the owners?

Selling the club for the Chicken Chokers equals opening Pandora’s box.

And ability. And effort.

Somebody should tell the Chicken Chokers - this is what you could have had !

Imagine putting £500 per month into your ISA and ever year finding out it was worth less than a quarter of the amount you have put in. Would you stick with it for 15 years or stop at some point, accepting you are investing in a dud.

I am led to believe that an approach was made to buy Rovers last year. Pasha said not for sale. It didn't go any further. He is the blocker keeping his cushy number with no scrutiny. That is why he actively prevents direct communication with the Owners. We need to shift him. Financially is the only way to do it.

It’s nowhere near the standard of last seasons squad and the manager isn’t good enough

Maybe a bit of an overexaggeration but was it just the existing squad we have now plus Cleary? Bit optimistic to think the addition of one player is going to shoot us up the table. We have a terrible Head Coach however.

Makhtar scored on his debut granted it was a friendly.. just needed service and confidence!

The following is rumour and speculation so we can't say for sure either way. For discussion purposes though: According to a poster over the road, somebody made an approach to buy Rovers as recently as October 2025. The rumour goes on to add that the enquiry was refused by the owners via their conduit. How true this is, I don't know. Maybe somebody with sources could look into this? I know two posters on here have mentioned interest from two different potential investors recently. One using the word 'significant' regarding a bid. It could all just be gossip, but looking at this US/Saudi guy who is trying to buy PNE...I'm wondering out loud. Please don't tell me this guy tried to buy us, only to then turn his sights towards PNE as there was nothing doing here. I hope that's just me overthinking things. It would be a sickener if such a scenario occurred.
