Popular Post lraC 996 Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 They can rot in hell for me. We need bailing out to the tune of £20m per season, due to theirs and their stakeholders, total disregard for the club and Jack's legacy, when they bought it. All this nonsense about them being badly advised and now they have learned their lessons, is total garbage. They were complicit in what went on and they got their fingers burnt due to them being stitched up good and proper, by the person that sold them the dream of easy money. Pure greed for them to want to make a quick buck and now, as they can't bail out without a full and proper investigation, they are left propping it up. It is my view that they daren't sell, as some very deep and horrible goings on could be uncovered and they dare not risk that. Lurching from one crisis to another seems to have been the order of the day, since they arrived and it won't be getting better any time soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A better analogy is we're all passengers on that aircraft that the co-pilot locked out the senior pilot and then set the automatic pilot to fly the plane into the ground.

Ewood rots and the debt grows. It certainly does. Another share issue of £5.334 million on 23rd January making a staggering total of £180 million spent by Venky's on their 'hobby'.

Kamy100 2693 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I believe that they have to make regular cash injections into the club, these were part of the gurantees that they have to give in order to get auditors to sign off accounts, this is likely to be one of those payments.

Is there a conflict between what the auditors want, and what the football authorities want in terms of applying with FFP? Or put another way, does FFP in any way influence the actions of the account auditors? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kamy100 2693 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I am not sure about that, but the way it is explained to me by someone who know understands annual accounting processes is that auditors asked for these funding guarantees as a condition of them approving the accounts.

The auditors have to audit the accounts in line with the law and accounting standards and FFP does not override that. Despite FFP the owners can put as much money as they like in to the club; the FFP constraints are on what can be lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The auditors will have looked at the expected income and the continuing liabilities and pointed out in no uncertain terms, that unless the owners funded the shortfall, the business was unsustainable, or in other words, we are bust. They have obviously agreed to carry on funding it, otherwise, we would now know the we were in administration. If you apply logic to this, knowing that they are never going to get their money back, should mean that they didn't agree to continue to fund is and allow the administration to happen. There is a reason somewhere though that they continue to do so, why though, is anyone's guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomphil 12918 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I just think they have a method of filtering a few quid elsewhere whilst obviously propping up the club. Not saying it's dodgy i'm pretty sure now if anything was it would have flagged up. Just a huge business and owning the club has come in as a handy accounting tool, they can afford it it's their money pit but they really aren't going to keep pouring it down a black hole with no reason whatosever other than pride. There'll be something else in the mix somewhere never obvious to the naked eye. If it was just a case of we have to fund it or it'll go bust i think there'd have been continuing cuts to a far more sustainable model and we'd be in league 2 now. However i think pretty soon whether it's FFP or their bankers there'll have to be a big clawback again to balance the books i think it's inevitable. That's in the short term though but long term one of three things is likely to happen. A family fall out, death, illness or a harsh financial period = Bolton scenario. They'll plod on as it is and out of the blue will just get it all right and up we go, briefly. Settle for being forever where we are whilst they fund it, mostly ignore it and let others run it to their own tune. Edited January 29, 2020 by tomphil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miller11 2733 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Venky’s own 99.9% of Blackburn Rovers. Those shares equate to a value of £180 million on their books. £20 million a year is chicken feed, pun intended, to them. Putting in this money presents no problem whatsoever. Their core business interests are doing very nicely, their wealth is growing. If they throw another 20 million a year at it for the next ten years, all that means is their club is now valued at £280 million. It’s not like they need the cash for anything else. Balaji will still be able to buy loads of flash motors, and Madame can have all her taps done out in solid gold. Liquidating the club and writing off the “investment” can’t be a viable option at the moment. They’d wipe the best part of £200 million off their net worth overnight. They don’t need to worry about money, they are concerned with their massive wealth. Obviously it’s not sustainable indefinitely. But I don’t think we are anywhere near that point. Promotion would give them one exit strategy. The other option I suppose is the very very long game, which they seem totally ill equipped for, and would be miserable for us. Cutting their losses would be a very drastic last resort. I don’t think even they have the slightest inkling into what their long term plan for the club is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But why not go for the Holy Grail and appoint a top manager and proper people to achieve it, instead of languishing in Championship mid-table with TM and fuck all infrastructure? £20m a year loss making business with no benefits. Doesn't sit well with the rest of their Empire. Yet a large number of our fan's are grateful. I'm not one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
