They have had 9 or 10 million pounds worth of property siezed. They already have £11 million held by the Indian Government to cover the money they were allowed to send in November. The investigations are said to be at a nascent stage. If they are seen to be bending any rules at all to send money out of India they will be jumped on by the Indian authorities. They can borrow money against assets in this country as they have done previously, but I think the only way they will get significant funding to the club is via the Indian courts. This means a long wait and no guarantee that permission will be granted anyway. I think the club will be told there is no Venky money until August at the earliest. We will need to generate our own income until then. When does the summer transfer window open ?

I seem to remember from the previous court documents that they can only send cash over if approved by the court. Even this money must be matched by a security of the same value held in india. I don't think they are allowed to send any money not approved by the court even if they do provide security. So, they can't fund as normal.

The situation regarding communication on the subject was referenced In a statement signed by Steve Waggott just a couple of weeks ago ( in a meeting with WATR ) "WATR reiterated that, subject to legal constraints, they wanted the Club to explain the finances better and in more detail with supporters and that explanations as to Indian High Court hearings and the processes were vital to help ensure clarity and to counter all the rumours that occur when there is a communication void" Who is surprised that there is still a communication void ?

v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
Crimpshrine replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We've had some important moments against Plymouth. A promotion battle in the 3rd division, Kenny's first match, Speedie's hat trick to make the playoffs, Nicky Marker taking out Ardiles. Today could be very important one way or the other -

And that is without even mentioning the on/off purchase, on/off loan and return to Orlando of McGuire due to 'WrongButtonGate'! Still waiting for the Broughton interview and the promise that it won't happen again! Procedures are in place!! -
Rovers Rumours & Speculation
Crimpshrine replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Only because Venky's won't pay his contract up. He may as well hang around and make the tea. Waggott is in control again like he was when Mowbray was here. -
John Eustace - our head coach
Crimpshrine replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The announcement of a new manager normally brings fresh hope and excitement. I felt that when JDT arrived. I have nothing against Eustace at all - a reasonable appointment and I am hoping he is a massive success- but it really hasn't lifted the gloom for me. I have to be honest and admit that the recent increase in unrest and the potential for protest against Waggott and the owners was giving me some hope that a new dawn could be close. Now It just feels like another phase of the dark ages. . Venky-fatigue has set in once again. Nothing will change until they leave. -

Head Coach, not manager. Broughton keeps his job ? -

Wasn't Big Sam's first match against Stoke ? a 3 - 0 win if I remember correctly. Pre Venky's of course ! I can see Ennis coming back to haunt us tomorrow. -

Maybe Venky's refusing/unable to pay what he is due under his contract ? -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
Crimpshrine replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
How can you possibly know that? Has JDT resigned or been sacked ? Has he been offered the Sweden job? Any illegal approaches involved ? All those questions would need to be answered before we can know if your statement is true. -

Come on, they had a really tough meeting with the fans on Wednesday. They needed some recovery time -

Crimpshrine replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Or it could simply be down to cost. Venky's can't currently supply any money and the Wharton cash ( probably only a percentage paid up front from CP ) has been earmarked for HMRC / wages. They will not have budgeted for a big payoff for JDT. So maybe Venky's won't sanction a sacking and JDT won't walk. -

Crimpshrine replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Interesting that Eustace is still 2nd favourite for the Huddersfield Job ( Sky Bet ). Despite there not being any odds on the next Rovers boss as the position is not vacant, JDT is 14/1 to be the next Huddersfield boss -

Ennis would have had a fair proportion of his 4 year contract paid up. I bet we didn't make any profit at all -

One person makes a mistake. I don't buy it. Where is the procedure put in place by Broughton, peer checking, printing off verification for filing. All sorts of methods to ensure mistakes like that don't happen when the stakes are high. -

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
Crimpshrine replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This managerial change is perfect timing for Waggott. Unpopular sale of Adam Wharton, more transfer cockups, terrible form on the pitch, protests looming, toxic atmosphere, Venky's court hearing postponed. Anti Venky feeling growing. Massive pressure on the CEO. Change the manager and many fans will be in 'give him a chance ffs' mode. Pressure off for now. Retire in the summer. Crafty bugger that Waggott. -

Absolutely spot on. Please don't protest or boo at matches as the players get upset. He is really clutching at straws. -

Crimpshrine replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
But Broughton stated that all procedures had been revisited after last year's cockup and promised it would never happen again. It's simple - click send, check that it has sent, print off verification get a manager/peer to check the verification. Not click any button and go for a cup of tea.
