So how does venkys reign end then? Or does it not end?

It doesn't end, at least for the foreseeable.

Depending what happens with Brittain, Travis, Tronstad etc we might have one more competitive year at this level.

After that I imagine we'll go down and have stability in the 3rd tier for a few years, without ever finishing in the top 6, then by the time we're into the 2030's we'll be looking at the bottom end of the 3rd tier or possibly even be in the 4th tier.

All while the court case still rumbles on, fanbase dwindles even more, and folk asking "what do they get out of this?".

"what do they get out of this?".

They get something out of it or they wouldn't still be here !

Schadenfreude at the plight of the snowball-throwing fans?

Burying the dirty cash bodies?

Blackburn who? Ie can't remember owning a club 

Plain fucking stupidity, inner because they don't know what to do next, who to trust.

 

If we're really faced with a slow death, then what is the point any more?

 

It might not even be slow. Back to back relegations and we're completely done for

Now showing on the list for today…as the 99th case.

The never ending story continues. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

So do we now have 2 rovers related cases running in the courts? Or did we just cross someone’s palm with silver to get the other one heard quickly?

So the case isn't getting seen by the judge then?

You never know I guess but I’d be extremely surprised if it is.

The initial case is still ongoing with the next date being in August.

The case heard the other day is an appeal related to the above with the sole intent of trying to remove the guarantee requirement.

This appears to have been treated as a new matter hence why it was such an early hearing last week  - it now seems we’re back to the infinite purgatory (now x 2) of being too far down the list to ever be heard.

edited to add:

I presume they lodged the appeal so they could be heard earlier than August (I wonder why 🤨) but it doesn’t look like this ‘tactic’ is going to work.

Great.

I hope the money runs out soon then. Bring on administration, it can't come soon enough.

Why do they even have such a long list? They must only get through about 5 cases.

It's a crying shame that after 15 years this appears to be the only way we'll be able to wrest this club from the cold, dead hands of the Venkys and that fans are begging for it.
