Yep. 

(Speculating here)......maybe it's like Exiled said and they know there are further matters yet to be uncovered therefore they know they'd be likely to lose any monies put up as guarantee.

But.....(Thinking aloud) If all other dealings related to Rovers are above board then even with a politically motivated Government gunning for you, surely any guarantees given in that respect should be safe and there shouldn't be any worries in that respect about sending money over.

It's a weird one.

With the bits most posters on here know, I would be very surprised if everything has been totally above board for the last 15 years.

My opinion is they are less than 50% sure that any bond posted, will be returned.

Just a reminder - what are the Venkys getting out of owning Blackburn Rovers?!

A few pointers - rovers had 2 sets of accountant doing a sweep and review of the accounts 2 years ago and no evidence of impropriety was found then!

Indian government and their financial departments have absolutely no jurisdiction over Rovers or the venkys companies based in the UK.

As far as anyone is aware HMRC have not got Rovers in their sights - we just are a club with huge financial outlays/contracts and image rights! That’s where their investigations lie at the moment !

Quick question, just the same one you've been dodging for a few years now.

Now that Swag has left the building, can you please tell us what it was that he promised you would happen? You know, the 'big changes' that you shat on about repeatedly. 

Surely you can just tell us. What have you got to lose?

Lots of hassle and negative publicity.

Good luck with getting an answer on that one, straight or otherwise. Even one to keep a bit of credibility, would be a start, such as, I think I was fobbed off, as it’s clear to see, things did not materialise, in the way he promised.
