They have just had 2 national holidays in India. Today was always going to be a catch up with a high chance of an adjournment.

All the cases heard first thing this morning were prefixed by A. They then started on the normal numbers as listed for today. So maybe adjourned hearings ?

No need to be homophonic about it

I agree with this. They can't send any money without having permission granted by the court for every individual payment. This is because the ED won't give Venky's the certificate. The court may impose a bond in order to allow payments, they may not. The court may refuse permission to send any money at all. It depends on the ED's argument against Venky's each time and how the judge sees it. In order for Venky's to argue that they should be allowed to send funds, Rovers need to supply details of what the money is to be spent on ( HMRC, Wages etc ). That is the process for every request to send funds.

Exactly - Even if the Courts don't give permission to send funds without associated bonds, they don't need to worry. The club can 'wash it's own face'. In the future, when cash runs short, if there is nobody else to sell they will just resume drip feeding us into oblivion.

Sammie was incredible last season but before that he had scored 11 championship goals in 73 appearances. He wasn't particularly prolific even in League 1. I don't think one good season in the championship would be enough to tempt most Prem clubs - especially given his age.

Surely Ipswich will just be waiting until after 20th August to see how desperate we are for cash.

I remember thinking the same thing - even as the teams walked out. He did score the opening goal however !

Quite a good chance it could be postponed again. In India, Thursday and Monday are national holidays. Probably not much will get done on the Friday in between, so Tuesday 20th is going to be busier than usual in the courts..

Thursday is Independence Day in India - celebrating the end of British rule. I am hoping Rovers soon see the end of Indian rule. Fingers crossed.

I hope to hear chants of 'One Peter Jackson' on Friday

Can they clear the filth from the boardroom at the same time?

I prefer comparing the current squad to the squad from 14 years ago. No skewing of data, no arguments but plenty of justified anger.

Anyone noticed that Suhail is no longer 'business advisor' or 'owners representative' or 'conduit'. He has suddenly become COO. Suhail, who answers only to the owners, not the fans or the community is now effectively running the club. I think Waggott's influence is waning and we need to target Suhail directly. He's installed Rudy as a buffer between himself and any need to face the public/press/fans but I don't think that will be a success. Suhail needs to be the target of the protests.

I wonder how much scouting we have done on these 2 strikers. Waggott has probably gone for cheap and available options but they still need to signed off in Pune. No guarantee that will happen.

I doubt Hill would even consider a permanent move to a struggling championship side that are among the favourites for the drop to league 1. There is no way we could afford his wages in any case. A loan is much more likely but again, would he choose Rovers if other, more ambitious, playoff chasing clubs are interested. I am sure there will be competition for him if he is available.

The twitter comments are very unfair - I hate Doritos !

Pretty pointless interview with Eustace on Radio Lancs. "I'll talk about anything - but please don't ask anything about the situation at Rovers"

Maybe a coincidence but ever since the Japanese chap has been mentioned all the popup adverts I'm getting are for Ninja products!

We probably still owe a percentage of the original transfer fee too.

However, Rovers did sell the training ground! When Venky's finally go, the training ground will either go with them or they will charge the new owners a fortune to use it.

And that Eustace hasn't had a hair transplant

Isn't the whole point of administration to save jobs and find potential buyers to allow a company/football club to recover from a difficult situation ? Not sure what your argument is.

I agree. Cheap tickets for kids are essential but I was referring to Rovers' claims about excellent season ticket sales. They need to be honest for once.
