Feeding the pigeons though.

Shows that whilst we've been ruined the remaining fanbase is very solid and that's why Waggot and co think they can take the piss. Patience is about to run out though.

Luton and Brentford got promoted on those gates, Burnley used to get those gates, PNE get similar and there are other examples. Yet 230 million down the shitter, two top 2 positions blown because of not even a million quids worth of backing. Every decent player being cashed to pay the bills and Rovers fans have to be grateful to their billionaire overlords because we have a good community trust. If that hooray attitude comes from the inner sanctum of the club and i suspect it does then no wonder we are in a mess - again.

Imagine if a decent crowd rocked up with that 'get into em' attitude then non of the bottlers can deflect it.

That one has always been on the payroll.

There was also an update on the Venkys Overseas company house listing a few weeks ago.

Interesting. Seems the magic 11 million figure.

I'll pledge although you'll have to give them so someone to hand out as i think i'm away for that game though not 100% sure yet.

I'm taking that as being because of the income from sales not because their problems sending cash are sorted.

You'd have to be off your rocker to take any comfort in that statement it's almost a rehash of the last one. Don't anyone be fooled the club is being funded by player sales instalments and probably more borrowing at some point and will continue to be with more player sales in summer. They are basically hoping that sees us through until the next court hearing, it was promised in the last statement that would be sorted by now.

Good idea. It's way beyond time that he was called out the guy should at least have the decency to turn up at supporters meetings to speak for the ownership. I'd wager the majority don't even know he exists but they will do once attention is drawn.

Yep and that's why those two need to be first port of call in regards to any stick being given out. They won't answer questions, not with any real conviction or truth anyway in Swags case, whilst the other fella just hides. Leave the manager out of it he was just wheeled in quick to deflect the attention.

Suhail is Venkys puppet and Waggot is Suhail puppet i think that much is obvious as to how the peer order works at Ewood. Both are doing very nicely plodding along earning a few hundred grand a year doing something most dream of, something neither are very good at but they get by winging it short term year by year. Neither will stand up to their bosses and tell them what is what and what is required to do anything other than keep the lights on, it's called keeping the bosses off your back for an easy life. Both should be stepping fwd doing what is in the best interests medium and long term for BRFC and telling the owners straight to sort the finances or consider real dialogue with any genuine interested parties. They won't though they'll do the opposite and keep a lid on as much as they can whilst sitting pretty.

Ipswich are a strong side obviously but they are on a promotion bounce, just one season out of league 1. They are beatable and have been. The whiff of defeatism is swirling again.

So Mowbray after repeatedly failing to get anywhere on a mid table budget and 15 mill spent on 3 fwds then tells them to forget the promotion as it needs 100 mill to get there. Next we have Waggot telling them the best way instead is invest minimum for FFP, sell best players to top up the bills, continually cut the budget and don't back the coach most likely to get you there. You'd think they might have worked it out by now and found some middle ground.

Rovers 1 Ipswich 0 Hendry 6,579

The Venky chicken shop brand might be well known in some areas but the family themselves i don't think so and certainly not outside of Pune. I doubt they come in the top 100 influential families or wealthy families in India and their so called influence isn't doing them much good at the moment in court. Of course on their doorstep the media won't rock the boat if they make advert money just like in small town Blackburn with the LT. Wider picture i'm sure if the right money was paid something could get published there have been articles before also their present issues have been reported on. If they are falling 'fowl' of this present regime then now would probably be a good time to strike because someone is after them that's obvious.

Draw all 3 is the same as lose 2 win 1. 3 points 🫣

One of the country's most powerful families ? In India ? Bollox

We got the new manager grind instead of bounce. To be fair though if he was as clueless as some say we'd have been losing still but without laying a glove on the opposition, plenty examples of new manager flop around this league.

I think the only sell if promoted to Prem line is just thrown out as justification to 'protect' their investment when it comes to pacifying the banks, shareholders and Indian court. They need an excuse to continue reduced funding and do whatever it is that benefits them crunching profit numbers off the VG group balance sheet. Would they really sell if the miracle of promotion and a guaranteed 100 mill plus suddenly appeared ? I'm certain they wouldn't.

Teams that came at us at home previously you'd fancy scoring a few goals, you knew we'd concede at least 2 but we'd also exploit the space they left and carve them open back to front at times. Now though other than punts forward that doesn't seem the case and i expect Eustace again will try and park the bus. Could be a tricky afternoon trying to absorb constant pressure for 95 mins from a team that always seems to find a way to score.

It's Nixon so it's a half truth at best and unless anyone speaks directly to a head Rao they've no idea the feelings on selling the club IF there is genuine interest. Often get the feeling there is a buffer between here and Venkys on this subject and the people sat comfortably in the middle of that in the shadows are the ones who don't want to see it sold but don't care about progress either. Because it's very comfortable and lucrative and peaceful for them sat there.

He'll be a victim of the summer cull and for those who always have it in for him i think they'll be disappointed when an academy lad replaces him.

We've been through this with Dolan many times over and he keeps getting written off but bounces back however that usually comes after a spell out either injured or dropped. We do though miss him when he is out for a spell although that is more to do with how weak the squad is than the actual player himself sometimes. That squad weakness though means he and some others can't be managed properly and withdrawn/rotated when they are poor. I'd keep him on an average contract but certainly wouldn't be throwing big money and 4 years at him.
