Venky's wont care, They will take anyone's filthy lucre if saves them sending funds over.

The current state of affairs is that Venky's are not sending any money. If they do decide to send more money, the more it will cost them in bonds that they may never get back. Venky's will be getting to the point where they desperately want a conclusion to the investigation or they will be forced into a corner. The last thing they want is for the current situation to drag on..

We have billionaire owners and massive FFP leeway. Why aren't we pay millions of pounds and guarantee quality? Venky's out. Not a dig at you M_B because we have nearly all been battered into submission by 15 years of occupation.

The ED investigation will be concerned with all Venky's activities of which Rovers are a part. Rovers get mentioned regularly in the court cases. Even if the initial trigger for the investigation was not Rovers related, they still need to go to court every time they need to fund the club. See below from last week's case. 26.05.2025 O R D E R 1. The present application has been filed by the petitioner seeking that the petitioner be allowed to remit a sum of GBP 4,850,000 to its wholly owned subsidiary, namely Venky’s London Limited, situated in London, United Kingdom. CM APPL.23948/2025 (for directions) 2. It is submitted that the petitioner has received a communication dated 26.03.2025 from the Chief Financial Officer of Blackburn Rovers Football Club, which is owned by the abovementioned wholly owned subsidiary of the petitioner.

Whether they intended it or not, we have comparatively few assets left in the playing squad. The club no longer owns the training ground - another asset we will never get back. They have also stripped the club of half it's supporters, a lot of it's respect and all it's credibility.

Fashionably late. The party hasn't even started

Funny how we refused to offer Batth a 2 year deal 2 years ago and now we are desperate for him to stay for what would have been a third season if he signed first time around. False economy as usual. I suspect one phone call from John Eustace and he will be gone.

Venky's don't have enough interest to get involved and spend time looking for a 'better' COO. They are happy to have someone at Ewood taking the flak for them. If Pasha leaves, it will only be because he decides to. He would probably recommend one of his Kentaro/SEM mates as his replacement and Venky's would just go along with it.

What is the Fan's Forum take on the coalition out of interest? Are they in or out ?

It also coincides with the need for quick cash. It is cost saving as much as anything else. Rudy steps up and the owners save £300,000a year

Exactly. Waggott has had no clout for quite a while now. They are getting rid of him to save money. Nothing will change any time soon.

It's almost certainly going to be Gestede with all the experience he gained from shadowing Waggott for 6 months !!

This is cost cutting. Although Pasha and Waggott didn't get on particularly, SW acted as a shield for Pasha and he performed that role very well - to the benefit of Pasha and the owners, not the club. In terms of decision making, SW has been sidelined for the last 12 months with Pasha, Sufi and Gestede being the ruling gang. So possible scenario ( with added 'conspiracy theory' comments ) Pasha ( former Kentaro/SEM) COO Gestede ( recently played for S Kean in Australia ) CEO Adam Owen ( recently worked with S Kean at Hibs ) Head of Football operations

Palace in Europe so I hope Adam decides to stay for another season. That would prevent Venky's getting another immediate windfall to flush down the toilet. They can then use the famous 'no impediment' route to fund the club.

Are they likely to sell any after the deadline anyway?
