Popular Post Miller11 Posted June 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 The Walker family certainly contributed. Couldn’t wait to offload us and practically gave the club away to the idiots. If they’d continued to put in £5 million a year for another 3 years, or even just allowed us to increase the debt level from 20-35 million things could’ve been oh so different. They didn’t even need to be benevolent, just respectful. I’m confident John Williams would’ve ensured we retained our top flight status even if he was instructed to make savings, and 2013 saw the TV money go to absolutely mental levels. The deal doubled from 1.5 to 3 billion. Their short sightedness and lack of respect for Jack’s legacy opened the door for Venky’s complete incompetence to set us back decades and cause probably irreparable damage. Shameful from all involved. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesus Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Another £29.5m worth of shares have been added by Venkys. I'd probably prefer to watch that money be set on fire than watch the current set up spend it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversfan99 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 No doubt we will now be inundated with people saying how grateful we should be for what is essentially an accounting necessity rather than some great deed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Anyone know the significance of the money being allocated to the club accounts rather than VLL? Why would this be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is not new money. The money comes from India via a share issue by Venkys London and then put in the club as a loan. What has happened today is that part of the loan has been converted to share capital. This last happened in December 2015. No idea why they have done it but at least the balance sheet of the club will look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 3 million was converted last time we were up the creek with FFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Blackburn Rovers' accounts show share allotment rise of £29.5m | Lancashire Telegraph The last, and only previous share allotment, in the Rovers accounts are dated to November 2015, a month before the club saw their previous transfer embargo lifted.

They will want to see evidence of actual cash going into the club rather than into holding/parent companies. When QPR were in bother one of the outcomes was they had to agree to convert 'debt' into shares and I suspect this is a similar arrangement/motive - I can't see any other reason than for FFP requirements although I stand to be corrected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JHRover Posted June 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2021 I see Craig Honeyman has taken to twitter to praise Venkys for their latest cash injection. Claims they are fantastic owners who deserve so much for how they support the club and community. I kid you not. A quick Google search will tell you Craig Honeyman is involved at HSH sports and was involved at SEM. He's also from Middlesbrough. Doesn't take much to join the dots around here. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldEwoodBlue Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I have no idea if this represents good news or bad news for Rovers. Clearly it is something to do with the P&S compliance and the embargo. But is it a permanent injection or a bridging loan payable back when Armstrong is sold? Who fecking knows !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's what Tom was alluding to. He'll be creaming his pants at the prospect of Mowbray wasting any available money on his deadbeat clients once again. He may yet turn out to be disappointed............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the only people who have done well out of the last 10 years have been our managers and those that represent them. Quite the gravy train and no end in sight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
