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 heard (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 pending the original writ being heard. 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.

Obviously a lot of guesswork goes into how a season might pan out before it starts if we keep Travis / tronstad / Brittain and add couple more we should have more than enough to be top half again If we lose one or more from that lot then I guess it’s dependant on if they are replaced sufficiently or not but it’s literally the unknown nobody would have predicted that Luton would have been relegated given the squad they had and I see a lot bigging up both Birmingham and Wrexham - personally not sold on Wrexham yet but brum should be decent enough but to reiterate other posters - the contract situation is very alarming and it needs addressed one way or another so we have clarity going forward

sidnei sounds about as portuguse as i do😄

Great video that.

One year contract extensions taken up, by the Rovers ?

Baker was a solid steady Eddie a bit like Forshaw but better imo however this is how it's set to go as wages get cut and cut cheaper doesn't mean better. There's a lot riding on this Portugeezer lad being a player because he'll have some big boots to fill in the near future.

Also, forgot that Connor O'Riordan was back at the club now. Any hope? Or nah?

he did`nt help himself or endear himself to the fans because he tried to be something he was`nt,definately had an inflated opinion of his own ability,to many ambitious passes,dribbles and the never ending pointing to his team mates,don`t know if it was bad management or just his attitude,if he`d just stuck to doing simple stuff on the pitch,he would`nt have had the crowd on his back so often,he used to get absolute pelters from the blackburn end

Not really, we've still got 7. Forshaw will play, he'll be subbed on when we have the lead to help "see games out", he'll probably start a few as well. Of course Montgomery will play, Gestede is on record as saying we need to get back to putting Academy players on the pitch. Edit: Just to be clear, I'd happily sign another (always good to have more quality) but we'd have to shift out a few to accommodate.

Nahki Wells a free agent. I've not yet checked the stats but hes surely averaging a goal per game based on his Ewood performances

Or it might rain all day 😬

hes not going to come out in the press and state it is he,he`s quoted as saying "he`ll be better than last season with a preseason behind him"which is manager code for he`ll be starting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it all depends on wether we keep the core of the team,tronstadt,travis and brittain,we`ve already lost a leader in batth and dolan,who always works his backside off is seemingly next,if we lose those any more key players then it`s goodnight imo and league one await venkys have no intention of extending contracts,thats clear and probably the main reason why eustace walked out,hence im`e not looking forwards to the coming season

Be a bit mad to come out and call him shite after he’s just signed a contract

I love rovers as have done since I can remember but the way these lot treat our club, the ladies, the youth, coaches, I don't blame him or anyone else in his shoes. He's not the best player in the league but he's not the worst so fair play if he isn't accepting their low ball he should do what wants. He's given his best effort in the years and even tho we've not seen a complete player we can't argue with his efforts
