blueboy3333 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/may/a-statement-from-the-owners/ 'The club now is more united on and off the pitch than it has ever been' Unbelievable. I hope they missed off 'since we've been here' by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinjay Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I don't believe for one moment they wrote that themselves. I didn't even know what the women's team manager was called. I doubt they will! Typically at least one idiotic statement as "quoted above". Should have made a point of saying they don't want anymore "temporary setbacks" as well. Of course they are pretty much damned whatever they say but that's their own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted May 5, 2018 Backroom Share Posted May 5, 2018 Who are the owners then? Because that statement certainly wasn't written by anybody in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47er Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Its what you'd expect. They had to say something. A staffer has written it, Raos have approved it. I'd have preferred "We've decided to sell up" but that's life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedy You're A Star Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 @#/?'em. #VenkysOut! Hopefully a buyer can be found that fancies a punt on ex - PL champs on our way back and gambles on getting back to the PL , like Wolves and buy Venkys out. If not, Venkys need to carry on staying in the background and leave the manager to get on with it. But more importantly, shut up and stay out of the headlines.

Vinjay Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Maybe whoever wrote it was taking a slight dig at them with the "ever been" comment! Kinda like to think so but in all likelihood it was probably ass kissing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Chances are they won't even know we are promoted until a board meeting in June when item no 121 is brought up for review and asks for an increased budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1864roverite Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Whilst they leave the club in the hands of football men and let them run the club properly who really gives a toss? One things for sure they are funding it and that’s to their credit but at the moment that’s all it is. Yesterday, as marvellous as it was, there wasn’t a venkys out song to be heard, silent owners might just be the best way forward for Rovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinjay Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Generally I don't like owners to be silent at all but in this instance it's probably a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Nothing whatsoever wrong with the statement per se, even though it was clearly drafted on behalf of the owners by someone on the ground at Ewood whose mother tongue is English. They Can't really win on this. People complain we Don't hear anything from them and that we Don't know what they're thinking then when they do issue a statement people complain about it. Similarly with their attendance. People complain they haven't been seen at Ewood since the year dot but when they do turn up they get hit in the mush with a snowball. If they'd turned up yesterday many would no doubt have been complaining their attendance had spoilt the carnival atmosphere as well. All I'm bothered about is that they continue to fund the Club in a way that makes us competitive again next season and beyond. Probably better to stay in the background and let the professionals get on with the job. If they continue to conduct themselves in the way they have done since we were relegated that will be fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
