You say the money has been 'pumped in' but what has actually happened is that they have issued new shares to the value of £3.625m I don't understand how these things work but by issuing shares does that mean they can always get this money back by selling the shares or taking dividends. It's not like a free gift and their money has gone forever. Presumably, as long as the total assets of the club are over £147m ( Ewood, Brockhall, players ) the money is just an investment and could, in theory, be retrieved by selling assets. Where do the Bank of India come into it - is the debt to them completely unrelated to any share issues ? I've never understood it. Are they currently being totally benevolent or are they just moving money around?

Ah! that is bad news. Poor lad.

I guess it depends if he has already had surgery to fix the problem. If he hasn't then that would be the next step. It would mean a long recovery process but I think it is a generally successful procedure these days. Wish him all the best and hope we see him in Blue and White next year.

Also page 35, section 28. A reference to MRS Balaji Rao!! That's what he's been spending all his money on.

Exactly what I was thinking. I thought both Ians were big Rovers fans. I am sure Battersby is. But if they just fancy owning a football club then Blackpool are probably a better proposition as they would start debt free and a probably a have a wealthy and willing partner in Belokon. Why go for Rovers with the a massive debt hanging over the club. That's even if they had the option

Bob Coar ?

I see 'Venky's India' shares had a pretty good day today. Up by more than 5% since yesterday if I'm reading it right. Have they issued some news of some sort ?

OMG Give me strength

Sounds like a large proportion of the budget at that level. What would Jack think! Another nail in the coffin. Can't take this lying down
