1884 Roverite I think. He had a meeting with the club and is due to meet them again, before the end of the year.

If it’s a peppercorn rent as suggested above, then they will have a problem on their hands. A long lease charges at one peppercorn per annum, will essentially bring them 10 peppercorns per decade.

Looks like they also have control of the newly formed company, who now own the STC. There are three directors, all based in India, who I have never heard of, but Madame and Balaji are listed at companies house, as people with significant control.

I think Derby did try that, maybe even with the ground. I don’t know what they have bought exactly, so no idea about what can and can’t be done. I guess this is the real point, why not tell the fans what’s happening, as otherwise we will jump to our own conclusions, whether or not there is something sinister happening.

A bit like when Venky’s stunned the football world, with a story about signing Ronaldiniho, but switched their attentions to Myles Anderson.

It’s very easy to clarify and perhaps, put a positive spin on it, after the event. The new company that have bought it was formed in June, so why the radio silence and why does it yet again, take a fine to find out, to get the message out to the supporters?

That’s the key thing here. The fans forum would surely have been told, if this was a positive. Imagine when the questions were put forward about January sales and FFP etc. if there was a solution in place, why not say so. Without wanting to have a dig, was this mentioned to Roverite during the meeting, where positive changes were mentioned?

It goes to show how other clubs are finding things very difficult. I can’t help but wonder, how the foreign ownership and lack of real interest by such owners, can only be bad for the future of clubs like Rovers and Cardiff. Unlike us, Cardiff have had a promotion to the premier league under their current owners, yet they appear to be in a perilous position. Rovers supporters seem to think, promotion to the premier league, solves all of our problems, but I don’t think that’s the case.

I was happy to see the back of Allardyce, as I hate his style of football. Like the rest of us, I didn’t know what was coming with Kean to follow, or the debacle that is the owners, ever since. If ever anyone needs lessons in how to go from one of the best run football clubs, to one of the worst, in a decade, look no further.

Is this on Rovers TV?

That’s more like it.

I honestly think there are more than that Josh. Lots love the club, but hate what is going on and would rally round, in the hour if need.

I agree, I thought he was pretty good.

It’s looking like Travis is struggling.

only if you live abroad.

This bad advice, seems to follow these humble people around. Good job these stories, are just musings in a blog!! https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/blackburn-chairwoman-anuradha-desai-faces-3314094.amp

This is why we are angry Tony and in answer to your question, about how far we want to go back, about eleven years please. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1347547/amp/The-Bollywood-billionaires-Blackburn.html

Don’t forget, Mowbray has described the owners, as very humble people. https://m.timesofindia.com/city/pune/venkys-director-among-4-booked-after-manager-alleges-assault/articleshow/34550989.cms

It’s almost certainly the attraction of a big signing on fee, that makes a move attractive. Say the same wage to move from Rovers to club B are on offer, but because the buying club have no transfer fee to pay, then the player gets a slice of that would have been. The strategy perhaps, should be, we pay the equivalent of that fee to keep them, as a re signing bonus and wages at the same level, but perhaps it isn’t as simple as that.

Absolutely, the town and the surrounding area suffer badly, as well as the people directly involved. They may not be the worst owners ever, but they are by far the worst thing that has happened to the club, since I started going in 1973.

I will raise a glass of Claret to him on Saturday night, if he does.

If ever there was a must win fixture this is surely it. After the frustration of throwing away a two goal half time lead again, in the last home game, for the second time this season, the frustrating theme, seemed to be the order of the day, even before the game started on Tuesday night. Reading sit above us in the league and have won two of their last 3 away fixtures, including an impressive 2-1 victory at Fulham. Given that I don’t want to big up the opposition, I am hoping we set off on the front foot and go at them, as I would settle for a 2-0 half time lead again, with the half time team talk being, go for a third, not sit back and protect what we have got, which seemed to be the case, with both the Luton and Coventry fixtures. If we fail to win this one, then I think the fans will start to look over our shoulders. A win, could just settle the nerves and give a tiny bit of hope to even the staunchest of fans, who seem to be losing their faith. Sadly I don’t see us winning it and predict another frustrating afternoon and go for a 1-1 draw.

I think you are wrong with the job losses. Sadly plenty of the lower paid people, such as ticket office staff, have paid the price.

The only was Venkys will appoint someone who can deliver, will be if they sign up to just eat, to get some of their chicken distributed.
