Ye part of the original set-up and then came back 8 years ago but under the radar.. Just trying to get chaddy to look deeper 😉

Mostly agree, but it isn't unheard of at all. However it's pretty close to it for players of his age, who were on a longer deal at their existing club. It was a very odd deal. I can only think we weren't willing to pay a wage he wanted unless he proved himself, and he took the gamble for a chance to put himself in the Championship shop window. But I also suspect we must have bought out his existing contract, in which case why not just give him a longer deal here with that money and gain security. Very strange.

Confirmed in the venkys court thread, documents are in there.

Is this a rumour or confirmed?

Yes I do, that is one of the problems. 90% of sod-all, is sod-all.

I do agree, but the odd person on here, can usually confirm, for definite.

To me, it's as plain as day what's going on. No contract renewals; no new signings; rumours of outgoings....can only mean one thing IMO.

Spot on. 100% of nothing = nothing. Job done. Exceeded our only promise (10% earlier). Good window.

We've already completed 100% of our transfer business and so Ismael has his wish

Do we know if they deposited the 50% in the bond to allow this to e released and then sent the amount to VLL to pay the liabilities? If they haven't, this could be the reason the Travis for sale rumours have started. if it was requested nearly 2 months ago, if it hasn't been sent, there could be major issues.

Probably from the start in some or other !

The ED investigation will be concerned with all Venky's activities of which Rovers are a part. Rovers get mentioned regularly in the court cases. Even if the initial trigger for the investigation was not Rovers related, they still need to go to court every time they need to fund the club. See below from last week's case. 26.05.2025 O R D E R 1. The present application has been filed by the petitioner seeking that the petitioner be allowed to remit a sum of GBP 4,850,000 to its wholly owned subsidiary, namely Venky’s London Limited, situated in London, United Kingdom. CM APPL.23948/2025 (for directions) 2. It is submitted that the petitioner has received a communication dated 26.03.2025 from the Chief Financial Officer of Blackburn Rovers Football Club, which is owned by the abovementioned wholly owned subsidiary of the petitioner.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

One word - Venkys!

Sad but true😔 How did we come to this.

Dont do that.....just send your CV to them. Clog the works. Lets see how many are sent. Low Egos only, mind.

Wrexham are like Rovers were on the early 90s. They’ll be in the Prem within 3 years.

Can't even get Batth or Weimann to sign despite both playing big parts last season and having decent seasons. It really is tragic.

We may well get them in in terms of numbers but I don't expect them to be superio or even equalr in quality. If we sell Travis do you really think we'll sign someone for that position who's as good? We're on a downward projection.

Because they're as thick as the walls of Skipton castle.

No, Ismael said it. Was just checking if you thought it was realistic/likely. So 3 signings in 3 weeks? Lets see but I fear you may be disappointed.

He's been running the whole show for 8 year+ chaddy. How've you not got that?

We haven't even managed to tie down a below average, injury prone Ryan Hedges to a new deal. You would imagine he'd sign on basically the same terms, or without a significant uplift at the very least, relatively quickly. I'm not suggesting that we should be keeping him but the manager has stated that he wants to and you'd imagine this should have been a fairly straightforward deal to be done.

Yep for a player in Travs circumstances it would be a great move and although i'd be loathed to lose him now under normal times 3 mill would be a good fee to re-invest a big lump of. Here though it will just evaporate overnight paying wages whilst they slot John Buckley into Travis position and pour money down the drain bringing in a skinny 10/15k a week Prem loan as back up. Most sane fans wouldn't like that but the agents would.

No, he said he wanted 90% of business in by the time pre season training starts. Which is in around 2-3 weeks away.
