Venky's India seem to have cancelled their Twitter account- the Ronaldinho tweet was still there yesterday evening.

We are at the point of asking what can be believed now. The £5m budget story persists regardless of the other words from Mr Rao in the LT. The Walker Trust and family have clearly signalled that what we are getting is not what they believed they were selling to. The Kentaro interference is blatant and obvious for all including the authorities to see.

[imy9]

Two points, how does the denial in the LET differ from the previous regime. Secondly where has the Kentaro interference occured? The players on the wish list are not Kentaro and neither is Ronaldinho, I fail to see what is blatant. Finally apart from Jacks son who in the Walker trust has come out and said that promises have been broken?

starting to doubt the 5m, the owner lady was quoted when 1st taking over that loans seemed preferable

[Madon]

I feel sick, however, I bet Nicko feels sicker, wrong again.

They had it on their Twitter and Facebook account. The only thing I find silly with this rumour. I hope that they in the future will not be posting stuff like this before it is done and dusted.

The £5m figure is the Sun and other southern journalists who has always hated us believing and spreading because they dont want us to strengthen but play in league two.

I have to say I have more faith in Alan and LT then the Sun. Both Alan and the LT says there will be a significant amount of money to spend.

[hawkiiz]

I bet Nicko just self-ignited after reading that story...

It used to be fun reading news and nickos about Rovers, but now it is nothing but bull. One story denying the other.

[philipl]

THose members of the media running with the Ronaldinho bid story are not going to be kind to us after this.

Everyone using the same stupid lines in the beginning as the Sun article.

Compagnaro Roberto Parlare Por Favor!

Brazil winger Ronaldinho has become the central figure in the latest embarrassment to befall Blackburn Rovers’ Indian owners, Venky’s

Ronaldinho Row

Everyone using the same stupid lines in the beginning as the Sun article.

Oh come on, if the Venky situation happened to any other club you would see it as fitting to use the word "embarrassment" to describe the situation. I don't like to see it used about Rovers, but it is the truth.

[alexanders]

According to this Paris St Germain are the biggest contenders to get Dinho and it can be decided to day.

Translated from Italian.

THE RETURN OF PALMEIRAS - Ronaldinho's day begins and ends in the hotel's Flamengo in a restaurant in Rio with the emissaries of Palmeiras. The Gaucho is deciding what to do in these hours. Each door is open, the emotional choice, Gremio, to economic, Flamengo Palmeiras with the new attack. There is no rush and brother-agent De Assis continued in its work of mediation and negotiation sull'ingaggio. Ronaldinho Milan greet only if an interesting offer comes, otherwise he recalls his brother Dinho "AC Milan is the player. "

HOTEL from Europe - but there seems to be only the future of Ronaldinho in Brazil. The Brazilian press, news of the last hours, speaks of a strong interest from some major European clubs, all the Paris Saint Germain. The French would have smelled a bargain and WOULD BE already in talks with AC Milan the possible transfer of the Brazilian capital in the Alps. These offers concrete and in the next few hours could already reach the final choice of the Rossoneri. In these three cases, we must then add a couple of rumors, actually less likely, England and Spain. Even the leaders of the Iberian club Blackburn and (have not mentioned the name) would have the phone number of the AD Adriano Galliani.

Gremio moves away - and before relevant offers from Flamengo and Palmeiras and Gremio from Europe seems to have finally raised the white flag. Too much gap between the economic club of Porto Alegre and Rio giants. Gremio can not satisfy the claims of Ronaldinho and the hypothesis "romantic" seems to go away then

[ScottishRover]

Hasn't his agent been quoted as saying we have been in contact and made Ronaldinho an offer?

[budha]

Then it must be true

[philipl]

After this latest situation, Venky's and Rovers are utter laughing stock and nobody can say that either they or us don't deserve it.

For all nicko's bluster, the Telegraph story includes this:

Concerns over the influence of SEM, the sports management agency, on transfer strategy at Ewood Park have also been raised, with Allardyce’s exit coming after he asked to sign Robbie Keane and was instead provided with a list of possible signings including former Hull midfielder Geovanni and Middlesbrough’s out-of-form striker Kris Boyd.

Fact, the manager and his deputy were sacked and the first team coach was appointed permanent manager for this season without the position being advertised or any visible search being done.

Fact Steve Kean is a Kentaro client.

Fact, the football world rumour machine is putting two and two together about who is really writing the Rovers shopping list. Whether they are arriving at an answer of 5 is irrelevant- it is what people perceive that matters meaning landing players is far more difficult and the price is being driven up by the agents who will think Kentaro will step in and influence their client if they come to Ewood.

Fact according to nicko, Kentaro are not offering to recruit any of their players so that aspect of the Venky's dream has gone as well.

That Indian Express article saying Venky's in row must be really hurting the owners in their own back yard.

I dont think you understand the word fact. Worst post in a whole line of bad posts from you. Of course its not irrelevant if people are in your words arriving at 5. Reality is what matters not perception, that you think this is an indication of just how stupid you have become.

Also there has been no mention of Kentaro not offering their players, there has been mention of a decision being made to go down that route at the end of the season, for now they want to get first team players in who can play straight away and keep us up. Solid thinking, would not expect you to see it thought as you lost your grip on reality weeks ago.

[John]

What's with the dramatic shift in ambition from Venky's - intially they were happy for us to finish around 12th in the league. Now all we hear is about finishing, next season, in 5/6th place.

Do they really know what they have got into by buying a Premier League club, I am not so sure.

Not having a go at Kean, but all these grand plans with a manager no one has heard of before, this is just weird or maybe I am just missing something.

[Bobby G]

We've literally turned into a 5-year old boys toy I think. Fantasy land here we are.

No credibility with so many self-inflicted contradictory statements for a lifetime, let alone for 2-3 weeks of running a club.

Mike Ashley being a clown? I dont think so.

Well reality is ones perception of it, so what is your point exactly?

[imy9]

BPF and Nicko have confirmed the Ronaldinho story, our most reliable posters, alongside Unleaded on here.

Nicko did not say that Kentaro are not supplying players he said Keans list did not contain Kentaro clients and that the policy if youth players would begin in the summer, so how was what you said a fact? I respect your opinions Phillip, but most are certainly not facts.

Imy, do you think Mr Rao is lying then?

Rao has now rubbished the rumour. He said: “That is not true. There is no interest at all, they are just rumours.

[Mattyblue]

If there was interest I assume the brothers are denying knowledge of a bid to save face as Ronnie will be off to Brazil. A tactic that could have worked if they had not splashed their intentions all over Facebook and Twitter.

The unprofessional nature of all this (wages offered put on Twitter, for example) I find unsettling.

[Ricky]

Yet again Phil posting opinion as fact. At least have the decency to say it's your opinion Phil. You certainly won't get as much stick then.

There is no fact about the Boyd and geovanni thing. Our resident journo rubbished it. Not saying he's definitely right but you can't state it as fact as you certainly aren't in a position to know if it's right or not.

You do seem on a mission to twist everything Nicko posts to suit your own agenda.

[steo]

Did these venky's just make up the rumour to appease the fans and get worldwide coverage again,we all knew the chances of ronaldinho coming to ewood were slim,yesterday was unbelievable everyone anxiously waiting for nicko's 11 o'clocker,there was genuine belief that ronny could come,if it's all bull and the story was just planted then heads should roll.

[Ricky]

John, they put it oh their own twitter and Facebook pages. If it's not right they want to have a good look at what information is being leaked by their representatives.

If the premier league were concerned about Kentaro's involvment / interest in Rovers.

Why did they not raise their concerns during the fit and proper owners test - did they not all go for a meeting together prior to the purchase of the club.

Why have they not come out already and publicly warned the club.

The Walker trust knew the type of people they wer selling the club too - yet still sold the club.

This must show how urgent they were to get rid of the club. If Jack's legacy is destroyed then the blame would lie with the Walker Trust, for seling the club to the venky's. By ignoring any clause's in Jack's will - if those clause's did exist.
