I know the new board members will bring some new ideas, into play, but I think a Trust led campaign to ensure the 150th anniversary is celebrated properly, is likely to attract new membership too. Given what was said about the foreword in the planned book and how it was suggested that if the owners do insist on doing that, it will die a death, I think we need to accept that it will pass off with hardly any proper recognition, if we leave this to the club.

Perhaps, it is not only their decision. Plenty of agents seem to have been involved over the years and I know it was rumoured that Venky's were a front and the real owners are agents and others, but who knows. It certainly makes no sense at all, that they would hang onto the club, at this juncture, it simply does not add up.

You normally can't drink beer in Spanish football stadia, in view of the pitch.

Brilliant. Helps massively, hopefully not just for me, but for those on here and beyond. It could rumble on for a long time this, by the sounds of it and the longer it does, the more if an impact it will have on the club. It begs the question yet again, as to why under these circumstances, would anyone hold onto the club, and after last nights WATR AGM the very fact that enquires have been made to purchase the club, but have been stonewalled, leads me back to where I have always been and that is the are running scared of some questionable activity, being discovered, should a deep dive of the accounts and the original takeover, take place.

would you mind expanding on the investigation, has reached the adjudicating phase? When is this, what dies it mean and what is the anticipated outcome? Sorry, if I am asking too much, as I know you have spent a lot of time already on this.

Here is a video of last nights AGM for those interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1ZIZ7Xgick

I wonder if they will play in skins?

It will look well for those who have already booked travel and lodgings, if the 2 fixtures in Spain are cancelled. Surely the opposition must be know by now, as it is less than 4 weeks away.

It was suggested that Lowe was once sacked and he went to the owners and was reinstated. As forever Blue mentioned the Twitter account Rovers insider has suggested he is unsackable and did have a direct line to the owners. It would seem to be a big deal, if he does get moved on.

The outcome of that, would be interesting to know.

I wonder how close they came to not meeting their liabilities?

So, long as they booked it in advance and there is no riot act to be read, it should all work out well.

Sorry, I usually get these, but missed that one. To be fair, I don't think it has been publicised very well, to be honest

I have checked this out and it is tomorrow night, not tonight. I have no idea, why this has not been publicised on here a little more, but perhaps, anyone from the Trust can clarify. Newsletter - April 2025 | We Are THE Rovers

I thought it has been publicised to be honest, but perhaps not. Double check, in case I have this wrong.

i think there is a trust meeting tonight at Blackburn library and perhaps after that, there will be some news.

Hopefully, someone will realise what he is all about, before it is too late.

No problem at all. I am all for healthy debate and let's face it, most on here have the same goal. It would be a boring place, if we all had the same views and opinions.

I am genuinely not giving them any means. These conversations about the impediments have come about, due to my interpretation of what that word means and what other peoples is. I am not for one minute excusing them for not sending funds, quite the opposite. In my view to end up in this position through gross miss management and through manipulating, and miss representing, what funds being sent, for the benefit of the football club, were really used for. I would rather putt his conversation to bed and accept that some people understand the word in a different way than I do, which I am fine with and carry on, perhaps with my little bit if input in raising ideas and posting my thoughts, on how we rid ourselves, of these people. Matter closed, so far as I am concerned.

Believe me, when I say, I am an extremely fierce critic of the regime and have no desire to defend them for not sending funds. It is complete of their own doing that the restrictions have been put in place, namely the NOC, Bond, permission from the court and now apparently the need for an affidavit and I am not for one second excusing them for not sending funds, I am 100% critical of the mess that they have created that has brought about these impediments, restrictions, barriers, or whatever else, we choose to call them Thankfully, they have been able to comply with them and still send funds and I am hopeful that these remaining in place, leads them to think twice about their ownership and in turn, makes them realise that carrying on, is futile and they agree to sell the club.

Incredible after all the effort that you put into doing that, how disrespectful that is.

Absolutely

Not hard to read. It’s a well articulated post and thanks for making it.

I can see where he is coming from too, but as most posters know, impediment is just another word for conditions and as most also know there are conditions to be met. Yes they can meet them and send the funds, but it does not mean that they don’t exist.

I really don't think you understand the meaning of the word impediment. If they could send funds with no, affidavit, no bond and no court permission, they there would be no impediment, but all 3 of these exists. They can send funds, so long as these 3 conditions (Impediments) are met.
