Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas

[Tomphil2]

The sales of Jones, Kalinic and Samba brought in enough to cover V;s purchase price plus the inherited overdraft.

I'd love to know where all that money went seeing as we still had Prem income then to run the club and previous losses were i think sub 10 million.

Total loss pre player trading for 5 years prior to Venkys = £9 million

Post player trading = £5.6 million

Protest thread. What we got in mind?

Absolutely have to boycott.

Very well produced video. Let’s hope it cuts through - needs sharing absolutely everywhere

It’s comical how they own a billion pound company 

[Tomphil2]

Also something which may or may not be of interest it seems Barry and Bro set up a company in Switzerland in 2024- Venkys Europe AG - that appears to be listed as an investment company.

The 1 other name with them on that is someone called Daniel Steuble which also seems to match the name of an ex player and now finance director of a club named FC Uzwil......

The much trumped up Swiss Vaccine plant which also happened to be set up around the time they pitched up at Rovers went into liquidation in 2023.

Beautiful Glen but I fear it will fall on deaf ears

I don’t like the use of AI (in general not just here) but I really hope the video gets some traction.

I hope that we can remain reasonable with each other, I’m neither an official boycotter or attendee vs Watford, I’m in the majority perhaps, the natural boycotter after years of neglect.

Seeing sniping on twitter and it’s just what the powers that be would want

I'll also overlook my dislike for ai in this instance, as it's a campaign against the ownership which I despise and I presume cost was the overriding factor here.

I think I’ve found his direct dial (and email) if anyone fancies questioning him…

[JHRover]

He seems to have links to a few different firms in Switzerland / Zurich area involved in finance circles. Photo on those websites matches from his playing days. 

Always interesting and thought provoking when snippets of information emerge about their activities.

[Tomphil2]

I wish Dunn FC i think it was hadn't got themselves banned off here he or she certainly had their finger on the pulse with V's background activities.

[Ghost7]

That's a fantastic video.

I asked my dad at weekend if he was joining the boycott and he just looked at me weird and asked what I was on about. Granted he's in his 70's now but still pretty active on socials, still oblivious. 

You'd think in theory it would be easier to sort for us given the small fan base than for example Sheff Weds who had great success with it despite a much bigger fan base. Did they do anything differently?

Not a criticism in any way of those trying, I salute the efforts. Just feels like it's so hard work to get anything like this off the ground at Ewood.
