That's a very big call!

I’ll stick my neck out - He’s a hard working lad, he’s a good attitude and he flatters to deceive (i.e, he sometimes looks a bit better than he really is). He also has shown steady improvement year on year. If he keeps that up someone may take a punt on him as a squad player in a team towards the bottom end of the Premier League for a season or two when he hits his peak. He’s still only 23, he could have another several years improving. I’m not saying he’s ready for that level now. He needs to score more goals and continue to up his assists, just for starters. His decision making can also be lacking, that’s probably his biggest hurdle to overcome. However, I’ll stand by the fact he’s a good kid with some talent, lots of effort, plenty determination and he clearly listens to his coaches - it can take a player a long way. He may surprise some of his critics on here.

QUALITY!!!!!

That’s brave of you sorting that ‘disruption’ out from NZ. You’re an inspiration. Thanks for your efforts🤣

I have never once said that I dont favour youth players coming through. You suggested that we can rely on Montgomery though. I dont get how you can possibly have come to that conclusion yet.

You'll not be far from NZ pretty soon with how deep that hole your digging is getting. I never suggested invading the pitch, I said the games needed to be disrupted. Still not getting any better with that English comprehension there are we.

No worries. Don’t forget to let everyone know when they can next invade the pitch at Ewood.🤣 You can watch it on TV from New Zealand whilst updating your timeline.

It would appear that the Venkys and the Directorate of Endorcement have done a deal where the DE will issue the no objection certificate so long as the Venkys meet all the conditions previously imposed by the court. Whether this deal (assuming it exists - I’m basing this on the certificate which was issued March ‘24 without a court case) includes the DE okaying funds being sent for transfers is anyone’s guess (although I believe most would think not). If it does, then yes, this would include Venkys having to give the £2.5 million (in your example) to the ED by way of a guarantee.

You're clearly not fine with English if you for some reason think you've been threatened. Start with fuzz buzz and work your way up from there son 👍

One transfer I’m fairly sure has happened is hair from one part of Pears’ head to another. The lad hasn’t taken his hat off all summer. Must have been to Turkey on the quiet.

That's suit your argument diesn't it. I asked you a very simple question and you couldn't answer it, just waffle on about X and Y. I just don't know why you refused to answer simple answer He could have renewed when GB was here if he was only 2k as the poster said on the other previous page. Back to this, I not going this same arguments about young players with you again. I get it, you don't favour bring youth players through, fine no problem, please ignore my comments on bringing through how young players through and playing them in the first team. I don't see the point if keep going around in circles over this issue every few weeks.

I’m fine with the English, I’m not ok with being threatened on a forum. Think on mouth.

Makes sense 👍

The original writ petition by the Venky’s was, as you said, in relation to not being allowed to send £26 million. This writ is yet to be fully resolved (I know right!!) what has happened in the meantime is: In June ‘23 the judge allowed the circa £3.6 million to be sent across as an interim measure. The Venky’s have made separate applications (a case within a case if you like) to: * be able to send £11 million across (heard and approved 31/10/23) * be able to send monies without the need for a guarantee (first of many adjournments 23/9/24 - currently listed for 5th August) * be able to send £4.85 million across (heard and approved 26/5/25) Hope that helps.

Well it shows every major event that happened since 2021. It's designed to be a resource for people who want to understand what has been happening. It took a lot of time and effort to put together and required reading and re reading court and legal documents hence the reason I have a decent understanding of the situation. I wasn't personally feeding you a length btw. However, since comprehension of the English language is not something you appear to be particularly adept at I'm not surprised that you've misunderstood what I was saying.

Taken for mugs 🤣 are you going to ‘feed me a length’ again. Don’t forget to update your timeline, that’ll show ‘em 🤣

The bond is given to the ED. The same Enforcement Directorate that have a 95% success rate in their cases.

"Its on him and his agent." You dont seem to acknowledge that theres a chance we simply did not offer a reasonable wage for a player at his level. Also, how can we "rely" on a player who has made only 1 start above the 8th tier, at right back, when he got sent off? As well as 3 or 4 other cameos. We could hope he will at some stage be ready, but we cant or at least shouldnt just assume that he is ready now. By all means keep him around and give him a chance here and there where required, but we cant "rely on him yet as we would do so without any evidence.

So is there also an impediment to investing anything at all into the playing squad? If Venkys “wanted” to give the manager - say £5m for players, would they now have to also give a £2.5m guarantee to the courts?

Chaddy and logic? Hahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I'm happy to let forever blue and rev die on that hill. They got taken for mugs by believing the words put out by waggot and the club and aren't man enough to concede their position. I'm wondering if this ongoing court case is actually in relation to the first attempt to send over ~£20million that they were initially denied by the ED. So far it's been circa £3.6, £11.8 and now £4.5 million that's been sent over, all with full receipts for where it went. Could it be that the other £15 million was deemed a separate item and they simply met the conditions imposed by the courts and ED? This came right after the house was sold also.

looking forward to watching it tomorrow

Fair comment. Regarding Batth, he did play well, but he's one player, you know what point I was making.

Even if we are playing 4-2-3-1 formation you still need 5 centre midfielder cos injuries and suspensions will happening throughout the season. That's the formation, I expect us to start most games as. Maybe going to 5 at the back in some games towards end of the game to see out the result GB tried during his 2 years to get Dolan to sign a new contract so if he is only on 2k a week and he didn't accept GB offer then that is surely on him and his agent. I would offer him 15k a week on 4 year contract. I don't see him going to PL club. why can't you rely on Montgomery as a squad player? The LT has picked on Ismael's comments to Rovers website, he speaks about the experience and what he did last season. He will be squad player who will come off the bench alot.

I just hope VI is proved right.
