Total and utter silence from Venkys....arses are twitching me thinks!

:)

Barely a word uttered from them as far as Rovers is concerned since 2013. Before then they were sporadically in the press reminding us how to be better supporters and telling us to trust them.

Now people apparently get thrown out of Pune Towers just for mentioning the words "Blackburn Rovers".

I think Kamy posted in another thread that somebody got a meeting with them recently, under the pretense of something non-football related, but as soon as Rovers was mentioned said person was quickly escorted off the premises.

Cheers Blueboy, added both of those into the first post.

I imagine the FA's investigation went something along the lines of

"Could we be implicated in this?"

"Yes"

"Then we'll ignore these findings and hope it quietly goes away."

And sadly, until recently that's exactly what happened.

“I wish to thank all the players and coaching staff for their great support and the majority of the fans, who now see their club heading towards an automatic promotion position back to the Premiership"

Deluded to the end!

But he could have gone sooner but for his pesky agent wife:-
