I think given his fairly poor start to the season, some people are hanging him out to dry. There is a player in there for certain and I for one can see beyond, some of the short comings and clearly you can too. Hopefully the goal and assist in the last two games, give him the impetus and confidence he needs to push on and have a good season.

Absolutely right with that. He could so easily have miss controlled the header away from Carter, but he did well. Great vision whether it’s a 10 yard pass or not.

How much have they spent and does that spell trouble, if they do go down?

Delighted with the 3 points, as we probably only deserved a draw. The football gods were with us today, rather than against us. Three pivotal points with a lot of mediocrity in between. The offside went our way, when I wouldn’t have complained had it counted. Then the goal, which was a great through ball from Dolan and a nice finish. Finally a terrific save from Leo, so much so that he punched the air. Great to see back to back clean sheets and much prefer this then going for the jugular being exposed and losing by the odd goal in a goal fest.

That’s quite correct and I do stand to be corrected on the matter. Cheers.

Horrible news mate. Keep strong and huge condolences to you and your family

Land Registry will show who the current owner is.

Hi Josh. Are there waves being created now and people asking for data? Hopefully some people are beginning to get uncomfortable, as if they are not they should be. Whats out their on the internet is widely available and from what I’ve seen on this thread, facts are mainly being quoted.

I don’t think anyone does, or why they would do it. If part of it or all of it is illegal, then it’s got to be a concern.

Technically as pointed out by PhilipL we don’t owe them 200 million. They have sunk that into the club, with no chance of getting it back. The worrying part for me is the article stating the payments that were made were illegal and what consequences that brings. PS I have had a reply to my E Mail now and been invited into the club for a meeting.

Hence why I said seem.

Rovers seem to owe VLL £220 million, so how they now about getting that back should be interesting. If these were illegal payments, do they need to be repaid on demand and by who?

I have been on here a long time and although I haven’t read everything you have posted, what you have said about these owners seems to be pretty accurate.

No doubt that was done before the article was written. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps even Waggott wasn't aware of this. He is now.

I have just sent this. Dear Steve, Further to my E Mail of 27/09/2023 I write to further express my concerns about the very future of our club. I note to date, I have not received an E Mail to my original post, but maybe that is due to the IT issues the club have recently experienced. The biggest reason for this follow up E Mail, is due to several articles that have appeared recently in the Indian press, an example of which, there is a link to below. https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/ed-seizes-immovable-properties-worth-over-rs-24-cr-of-venkateshwara-hatcheries-under-fema-provisions20231009204844/ When reading the bit highlighted here ED initiated an investigation in connection with the illegal remittances made by the company from 2010 to date to it's wholly owned subsidiary, named Venky's London Limited Cardiff UK. I am filled with absolute dread. I wonder if you could take the time to respond to this, as I am sure, the club will need to provide the loyal fans with an update, as news like this spreads amongst the fan base. I guess rumours are bound to circulate about the real reason for certain recent cuts being made, in particular, the reported change of the “project” of the club and things like the closure of the Blackburn end for the recent cup fixture.

If the below, copied form the article does not worry EVERY Rovers fan, then what will. ED initiated an investigation in connection with the illegal remittances made by the company from 2010 to date to it's wholly owned subsidiary, named Venky's London Limited Cardiff UK.

Could this now be the beginning of the end. Reading this, seems to suggest that yet more properly has been seized. Given the shit being fed about the tax changes, that were responsible for the project changing and no funds being available, perhaps now is the time for someone to come clean. This is looking pretty serious to me now, so a touch of mortgage fraud, or a tiny bit of tax avoidance, will no longer wash. Assuming that the ED are now really onto them, will the next tranche of funds , to pay the wages and general running of the club, be forthcoming?. I guess we now know why Waggott really closed the Blackburn end, there were no funds to pay the wages of the staff required? His PA could be busy over the next few days, replying to fans E Mails, to tell us, that there is nothing to see here. I wonder when we will be opening an account with Uber to get the players to the next away match, after our new coach gets snatched back, or when the website mysteriously goes down again, or even the phone lines. This feels like BIG trouble now.

Agreed, it was very much the minority, which is probably the case too with the Villareal fans.

I remember distinctly on here, a number of posters suggesting that the matches behind closed doors, helped to rebuild his confidence, which was allegedly affected at the time, due to a minority, getting to him.

I remember him leaving the field in tears at one point (someone posted that on here) and although it was probably the minority, I’m afraid some did turn on him.

There are some very strange slang quotes, if you translate them literally, but that’s the Spanish language for you. In every day life, just as we see in English, phrases that make no grammatical sense exists. The real cutting ones are a lot more hurtful than what we would expect in the UK though.

If he can handle the criticism then fair enough. From what I saw when Rovers fans turned on him, before his Diaz days, I think it could break him. He will not come good in La Liga and the abuse looks to be unabated.

Some of the fans are really getting on his back now. If you think some of our players get abuse on here, that’s quite mild compared to some of the comments from Villareal fans. It always a step above his real level, going to a top tier club in Spain and even though they got him on a free, his signing on fee and wages will no doubt be substantial. I don’t know the length of his contact, but can’t imagine he will still be there next season, unless they get relegated.

Venky’s valuation, will not have been arrived it by them. I doubt they would know the offside rule and that a game has two halves of 45 minutes. Someone else will have given them this figure and perhaps it was someone, who would benefit from him walking away for nothing.
