Salgado Is Still A Hero Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Is it true that when they took over, they were unaware that teams could be relegated from the PL? That was always a rumour but apparently during the Fit and Proper Persons Test , you have to show you have a financial plan in place for relegation.

tomphil Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It looked like their plan was to sell 40 mill of players plus force out a few other highly paid players and staff in order to prepare the finances for relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst these people are owning the club , we are well and truly F****D . Well i for one do not want administration, sooner or later something will give, but to hope for admin is silly. It would take many many years to get anything like, I don't have my head up my arse or in the sand, Lets see what progresses eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Can't blame people for wanting to get it over with instead of prolonging the inevitable. We sure as hell aren't going up while the owners continue to reward mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 We got a statement last season (supposedly from the owners although how much they contributed to it is questionable). I can't remember exactly what it said other than they were pleased with the progress being made under Bowyer and that they accepted things had gone wrong previously and they were committed to putting it right. I think an updating assessment from the owners is due now the season is over with. Are they happy with the season? What are their aims going forward? I think any major organisation needs at least annual input from the people at the very top. Is it correct that Bowyer travelled out to India after the Ipswich game? If so does anyone know if Myers/Shaw went out with him? No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1arC Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 That was always a rumour but apparently during the Fit and Proper Persons Test , you have to show you have a financial plan in place for relegation. Did they attend that though, or did an agent sit in on it and provide feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Toronto Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Some of our own fanbase have no idea what has gone on and some are in denial about what has gone on. Hardly surprising though Tony when "What's gone on" is a Masonic secret, shared between a few, or a 400-page dossier gathering dust in someone's attic. I have no idea what's actually gone on, let alone my dad, brother, cousins etc who don't come on here, and I've been paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what's actually gone on, let alone my dad, brother, cousins etc who don't come on here, and I've been paying attention. What we do know John is that we had a well run football club with people in charge who acted in the best interests of the club. Anderson, Kean, Singh, Agnew and Shaw (amongst others) were/have only ever been interested in what they could get for themselves. You should show your dad and Andrew the letters to the Indians from Tom Finn and John Williams and latterly from Paul Hunt which imply (and were never legally challenged) that a level of impropriety was evident at Ewood. There is a really good book called Agents, Rovers and Cricket Loving Owners which lays out chronologically the events at our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waggy76 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Can you explain their straegy in the appointment of managers ? The season ticket prices havent and wont relegate us but a succession of inept managers as and will...... Then there is the Agnew and Shaw factor ....

chris_h Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Venkys intentions are too kick back and watch us burn. Same as they always have done. They're terrible owners but why would they want to do that? The damage to their reputation and the tens of millions their tenure has so far cost them would seem a ridiculously high price to pay for some nefarious intentions they might have or have had.

The statement made was "Venkys intentions are too kick back and watch us burn" Making such a claim requires some evidence, so let's hear it. Surely a good starting point would have been to hike season ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which was of Venkys own making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead ST prices are frozen and Josh King is offered a 3 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
