Somewhere i have saved an article from the takeover time from an Indian business website who published an article on it and it stated they were using a bank loan for the purchase.

I can't remember which bank it said it was but i know it wasn't the usual State Bank of India.

It's always been my view that however it was purchased they got that money back pretty quickly through player sales.

For balance though that article quotes only one bit of the company - Venkys India Ltd - which itself comes under the main head company of VH Group.

Allegedly back in their father's time the Governor of Pune carved up all the land in and around Pune to their father and another couple of local business men. As such they own much of the land and buildings in and around Pune which is where their real wealth comes from.

The opinions I've heard are that as such when someone looks at their Companies and says they're worth £2 billion or £4 billion or whatever, far from overstating their wealth it's vastly understating it.

I've never seen anything official to confirm or refute this, would be interesting to hear from those with local knowledge as to whether they think this is true or an old wives tale.

[Tomphil2]

Think its been well documented the VH group is worth at least a billion although that might be in Indian money terms.

Whether the land and all the assets they own is covered by that or separate who knows ?

A handy way to make useless swathes of rough land pay though would be secure borrowings against it to run a foreign entity and cream a bit off for yourselves year on year.

That theory has been presented on here in the past and it might hold a bit of water when considering they won't sell because they cannot afford to without losing land.

The "overachieving" against clubs with more "financial muscle" from him looks like the usual spiel. It doesn't help, as many will run with it. However, I think he has put his real feelings across here in a subtle way here:

"In order to be successful, you need to keep hold of these (Szmodics) type of players"

"I pray they get back to some stability and get a benefactor who wants to spend some money and give them a chance to get back to the promised lands in the Premier League".

I think he knows these bastards don't want to spend. They don't give us a chance to go up, but he can't be as blunt as that.

Someone else said something on here recently that made me sad when I thought about it - None of our legends or cult heroes from the last 3 decades have done anything to speak up about the plight of the club and it is disappointing. Our fans were absolutely savaged by the media during the Kean era and we've become an afterthought and a backwater since we dropped out the prem, no one cares about what has happened. I think the closest thing to any sort of dissent maybe occasionally comes from Chris Sutton, but we're only his 4th or 5th favourite team after Forest, Norwich and Celtic so he's not that bothered.

Its a bloody poor do StHelensRover imo...they are quick to turn up at Ewood to be honoured though!

To be fair Shearer and Sutton have spoken up regularly and had quite strong pops at Venkys in the past.

The lass did though, credit to her for that.

Sams a football man he seemed more like he felt sorry for Gestede.

rudy, the most shameless man walking on the earth.. didn’t look a tad embarrassed after being told we were below league two level for the media.

Gestede is just here for the wheeling and dealing of players imo and that's why he was brought in plus a nice new shield for the other guy who'll throw him under the bus the min he thinks it's necessary.

I don't buy the 'shadowing Waggot on work experience' for one minute he's more likely been parachuted straight in from somewhere to help oust Waggot so they can carry out their latest plan unchallenged.

I don't know if this is true, but from what I have heard. Fans where singing "We want Pasha out". But the club said the words were "We want Pakis out".

[Tomphil2]

It was only a matter of time before 'the card' was played it was done last time.

Doesn't help when muppets chant the name of someone who has zero connection to the club though. Playing right into the hands of those who have their own agenda they want to push.

Chant the players names instead don't give the MSM the chance it's waiting for to find a suitable 'far right' target to smear and don't give those the chance to infiltrate the fanbase and use it as their vehicle.

We've more than enough problems already so lets keep it clean.

Here's a thought.

We get into playoffs but don't go up.

What's wrong with the project, we nearly did it. On no money. Pasha and Gestede are great. Let's continue the project. What are you all moaning about.

I'm shivering.

That's going to be hard. To chant in support of that muppet shows you have no fucking brains at all. It's not even his real name FFS!

Uphill battle for us as always.

A psyop being used to flush out both sides before he goes back on frequent holiday  jail time.

Either way he's naff all to do with Blackburn Rovers FC and he isn't going to remove the regime here.

From a Reddit thread on the Championship board, talking about protests...

 

Cov fan

Literally none of it worked. It's depressing as fuck, and eventually I just stopped going.

Most effective is whatever is going to cost the owners more money, and give them bad publicity. But if they've got it in their head they're not leaving without making a profit, or regaining their losses, there's no way of forcing them out. A 100% boycott might work, but it'll never happen because they'll always be fans who go no matter what.

 

Sheff Wed fan

There are so many “I just want to watch the game” fans it beggars belief. It’s as soul destroying as the ownership.

 

Preston fan

"we should be grateful to the owners for keeping us afloat" is one I hear a lot.

Congrats. They did the bare minimum 

 

Cov fan

Yeah I’m sorry to say that literally nothing worked. 

We had 5,000 fans marching through the city, tennis ball protests, fans on the pitch during games protesting, a whole movement dedicated to boycotting games and buying nothing from the club (shirts etc), verbally abusing the chairman and board. 

None of it worked. 

Bad owners don’t care about how fans feel. They just wait for an offer that will make their money back. Sorry lads.

 

Cov fan

At the height of us being fucked around by our previous owners, NOPM (not one penny more) movement was created - fans would refuse to spend any money on the team, including going to the games.

Im not sure if it worked, Sisu genuinely didn't seem to give a shit. It did, however, create a bit of a divide amongst the fans and you can still hear some people in the grounds take a bit of a swipe at those returning to the ground once the good times started up again. They'll wear those miserable years in Birmingham and Northampton like a badge of honour.

At the end of last season I genuinely heard a Cov fan saying he missed the days when the attendance was 6k at the Arena because they had more space to sit wherever they wanted.

 

 

[RevidgeBlue]

Whatevever's happening at Coventry, they seem to be going in the right direction. 

It was widely reported yesterday they finally owned their own ground again. High profile appointment in Frank etc.

So something must have worked.

[RevidgeBlue]

Interestingly Waggott was a SISU appointment. I reached out to Coventry fans for their thoughts when Waggott was trying to flog Brockhall. Suffice to say they weren't very complimentary about the Coventrio.

And that old goat Mowbray got honoured here the other week as well.

[Tomphil2]

That's odd seeing as TM bailed out there before the Cov fans got chance to lynch him.

It was probably more Waggott and Venus.

Mowbray was there for a while though I think. Kept them up initially then bombed when handed the job permanently
