Selling one is inevitable - selling both is likely you would think

Although Venky's have turned down bids before they'll probabaly be sold in order to meet FFP rules (unless Venky's can find another way to meet them). Gestede certainly wants/wanted to go, and it's hard to see Rhodes passing up the chance to play in the Prem.

Up to Bowyer to find some good replacements if they do go.

WTF are dark forces?? Just his agent strengthening his position like most managers I'd wager.

That being said, the way it's written, it's like we should be grateful to be where we are and as if we were never in the PL...

From the Daily Mail today:-

Blackburn manager Gary Bowyer is due to hold crucial talks with owners Venky's about how to work around the club's transfer embargo. Bowyer has been hemmed in by financial restrictions yet still managed to lead Blackburn to the brink of play-off qualification and the FA Cup quarter finals. His work has been recognised at other clubs considering managerial changes but he is keen to finish what he has started by taking Blackburn up to the Premier League next season.

Rovers have been under embargo since January after falling foul of the Football League's new financial fair play regulations. Key to discussions in India will be whether they accept bids for Rudy Gestede and Jordan Rhodes with Southampton, Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough and Hull interested at the right price.

"Brink of play-offs" aside, why is he going to hold crucial talks about FFP with the owners?

Thats Shaws job.

And secondly its a bit flippin late.

I'm glad you told us what shaws job is because I had been wondering just what he does for his no doubt large salary. Perhaps we should find a way of telling him what he should be doing too as he doesn't seem to have a clue

Not in venkys world. Where've you been these past 4 years Baz? The manager reports directly to the family.

Isn't Shaw's job to run the admin side of the club, negotiating transfers and contracts for signings and sales?

Bowyer is in charge of the football side of the club?

How much do people think Gestede and Rhodes are worth in the current transfer market?

It might sound a bit mad, but I sometimes wonder whether Kean and co., are still running the place from a distance. :wacko:

It really would not surprise me if they were still on an unofficial board of directors invisible to the naked eye with cash interests still tied in. Said it a million times but the kind of things going on behind the scenes at Rovers do not just disappear overnight. Who knows how many of Venkys mates have some pocket money tied up in this. In the past they all used to meet up in Zurich including Venkys so how do we know that still isn't the case. After all they still have people in situ who could protect certain interests.

In which case FFP - financial fair play - would fall under Shelfy's remit, no?

That'll be the Glasgow mob.

Maybe not, didn't someone say they'd been paid in full ?

If the max permitted loss is eight mill per year and we're losing two mill a month then somehow we have to cut three hundred thousand a week off the wage bill?

Surely I have that wrong? That's the equivalent of six Jordan Rhodes

The allowed loss this year is 3 mill, with the owners allowed to put in another 3 mill.

It's £8m if they put in equity, which I assume is converting debt to shares.

So I was taking the best case scenario, if that's the appropriate term.

I really can't see FFP compliance within the next twelve monthsm, unless I have the figures totally wrong.

As I said dark forces. An agent is included in that.

Dark forces isn't necessarily self-explanatory though, and sounds way too melodramatic imo. Plus, it sounds as though you're paraphrasing Harry Potter :tu:

2014/15 season the allowable Loss dropped to 3 mill, - 6 mill if the owners put in 3 mill of equity.

£3m! Last season we lost £42m. Granted, £16m of that was brought forward from this season.
