Boycott Or Not?

I am led to believe that an approach was made to buy Rovers last year. Pasha said not for sale. It didn't go any further. He is the blocker keeping his cushy number with no scrutiny. That is why he actively prevents direct communication with the Owners. 

We need to shift him. Financially is the only way to do it. 

Selling the club for the Chicken Chokers equals opening Pandora’s box.

Has anyone tried writing an old fashioned letter directly to the owners?

They're arrogant, spoiled, billionaire brats who inherited Daddy's business empire and haven't a clue.

There's zero chance a letter gets past their secretary's secretary without going straight in the bin. They wouldn't lower themselves to interacting with people like us.

Topple Pasha by him missing his financial targets. That is part of the strategy.

If the approach is true, then either they weren't serious about buying, or Venkys weren't for selling.

Fantastic bit of detective work there M_B if I do say so myself. The art of deduction at its simplest

It isn't difficult to work out.

Or perhaps, exactly like the poster said, Pasha blocked the approach.

You've no more idea than I have, (none) but I'm not sure why you find it that hard to believe, who'd want to keep him on if the Club was taken over?

Lots still don’t get this.

The takeover was so corrupt that they simply dare not allow a deep dive into the accounts. It’s the only thing that makes any sense.

Difference is with the North End scenario is simple they made it known quite a while ago that they were open to selling or taking on investment from the right people.

That has never happened here and even if someone had serious interest they'd have to get a direct line into one of the head Rao's otherwise it doesn't get past the various self interested buffer zones.

Even then they might get told don't even approach us without 100 million on the table.

By the end of this decade we'll be one of the smallest clubs in Lancashire, that should please the 'natural level' brigade.

If you had the millions needed to buy a football club, you would more than likely be talking directly to the owners themselves. 

If you were serious about buying it, and had the necessary clout, you would not be lied to by one man and it not get back to the owners. 

Obviously I don't know, but common sense tells me that the chances of a serious buyer being told no by Pasha without the owners' knowledge, and then the owners subsequently not finding out when someone on here supposedly knows  is fairly remote.

I dont buy that at all.

Rightly or wrongly the takeover was passed at the relevant time 15-16 years ago and as long as any potential purchasers are legitimate and get approved by the Authorities, what concern is it of theirs?

Fair points but to all intents and purposes he is the COO of the Company so I dont know what else you're supposed to do if he tells you it's not for sale or the offer is unacceptable.
