Venky’s v Indian Government (a)
bob fleming replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Sorry about this, I don't think I understand! Is this Court mullarkey over and done with following the removal of the guarantee condition? Is that the end of it? Or is there more Court shenanigans to follow? And if so when? Reason is that I've just listened to Andy Bayes talking on line and he gave the impression that this was still ongoing. Alongside that absolutely nothing has been reported about it in the local press (with apologies if I've missed it). Thanks again Wilsden or indeed anyone else who can clarify. -

It is listed as a category A game for tickets and a Platinum game for hospitality. Jacks Kitchen is not available for a ‘pie and a pint’ as they are looking at the potential of using the lounge for hospitality sales. Maybe the club will pull back and realise the only way fans will turn up is to have a decent ticket offer. -

They haven't announced the derby ticket price yet have they,or have i messed it? Surely it's going to be £18.75 though like the sheff utd game was a few years back -

Then a contract extension for Forshaw. It's easy this head of football malarky. -

Venky’s v Indian Government (a)
lraC replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I have always thought this was the sort of reason for our owners refusing point blank to listen to any offers. History tells us that Abramovich was unlikely to have sold Chelsea, had he not been forced to do so and he we now have these allegations coming to light. There is a story in todays Guardian about him being under investigation for claims of corruption and money laundering, yet he seemed to get through the FA fit and proper test, with no problems. Seeing what we have with Rovers takeover and listening to some of the threats made in the past and more recently to people, who dared to question the regime, it strikes me that there is something sinister to hide at Rovers too. The badly advised line has had it's time, yet they still refuse to entertain the merest sniff of an offer to buy, which in my opinion, is due to fear of what is now buried out of sight. I am sure like with Chelsea it would come to light, if a proper investigation took place or if due diligence, was applied to the accounts and a deep dive was carried out, but that's just my opinion on it. -

Montgomery plays rb for Scotland u21s / TGH can play right back - so miller won’t likely be required there if Carter is injured so he can cover the cb if required rb - alebiosu miller Montgomery TGH Cb - Carter Wharton McLaughlin miller cm - tronstad Tavares Montgomery Baradji forshaw the numbers are there not to mention academy players under a certain age who don’t need registered in the 25 for me it’s all about the lack of quality as opposed to numbers -

But its about quality AND numbers. You say Miller can cover centre back. But hes also covering right back. He cant cover them both if we have injuries in both. -

Emerald Isle Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Carter gets injured - miller can play cb (whether you agree or disagree he has played there for hibs) Alebiosu injured - TGH / Montgomery midfield will be covered by tronstad Tavares Montgomery Baradji forshaw (when returning from injury) Lack of depth isn’t classed by numbers it’s classed by quality something Iv stated we don’t have which is my concern but taking quality off the table there is enough numbers there as Iv stated it’s not the way I would have went about it I’d have liked a direct hyam replacement but over 25 players in the squad is enough to cover the team until Jan again it’s the quality in question -
Its based on European numbering As the vast majority of the top coaches & managers from the past 20 odd years are European, the labelling has stuck, and now, given the amount of time it has been, younger English coaches have grown up with the European numbering, If we had a spate of Brazilian managers in the country, then it would change and people would end up calling left backs, "6s", "3s" would be centre backs, and a 5 would be the holding midfielder

Its being done because of cost cutting. We have historically had squads that have been unable to sustain performance over a season due to a lack of depth. Versatility is a useful tool but you cant compromise on numbers. Say if Carter and Alebiosu get injured. You then need a natural right back at centre back, a midfielder at right back and then you are potentially short in midfield. 23 registered players, including one injured for an unknown period. Adam Forshaw who shouldnt be starting games and is injured. Other players with bad injury history. Makhtar Gueye. Its a long old season, now that versatility is a tool we can use, when you get months into the season and youve got more injuries, its very thin and you have 2 spare spaces. -

Kjell replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If the midfielder who is also the right back cover has to play right back due to the right back being injured, and then the midfield cover needs to play centre back due to suspension of a central defender, who will then cover in midfield? Aynsley Pears? 🙂 -

Emerald Isle Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Disagree….its not the approach I would have taken or wanted but of course you can sign a player who can cover 2 positions versatile players are common and do cover other positions instead of direct replacements. It’s not something new and certainly not just rovers who do it again though the problem I’m having is more the ability of players rather than the amount of them. As Iv said before 23 registered plus academy players is enough or should be enough -

Seing the Gestede interview he doesn’t come across very well imo. He seems quite defensive at times. I don’t know if its because English is not his first language or if it is because he has some arrogance about him. To me it’s pretty obvious that Venkys have set a wage limit in place. I think the reason for Travis, Hyam etc. leaving is as simple as money. Simple as that. They can get more money elsewhere. And ofcourse they can see that the club is cutting wages. Most times in football the winners are the ones who pay to get the best players. Rudy calls it risk assessment. BBC calls it a gamble but it would be fair to say that there is a lot of insecurity about how strong our squad really is. Can you really fault the likes of Hyam for wanting to go a highly ambitious (and annoying) club like Wrexham. A club filled with ambition and excitement as opposed to Rovers. A club in a constant decline. Oh and his wages will be higher as well. I repeat what I said the other day: Venkys are the main culprits.
