Hi Duncan, Please see the post above, in response to Josh. You are certainly aware of what I am saying in most of that post and as mentioned, do not have any problem with any criticism, aimed at me.

Josh, Sorry for breaking the site rules, I had no intention to do that and if you can PM me and let me know what I did, I will ensure I do not purposely do that again. I take on board any criticism aimed at me, but would point out to you and to others, who maybe have taken any offence at my post, that I have got off my backside and taken Waggott to task over certain things and although I can't say very much about it now, also made certain people who will be judging the owners quite soon, fully aware of some of the apparent misdemeanours that have gone on over the last 14 years. As people who know me on here know, I am not able to attend many meetings or matches for that matter, due to where I live, but do try to do my bit when, both from afar and in person, when I am in the UK.

Waggott is as clever with his E Mails as he is with his ambiguous quotes in the press and on Rovers site. Christina does read and respond to his E Mails as you state. An E Mail I sent last year with a link to the Indian press article about the illegal payments, put him in a position where a reply to deny or admit it, meant I had ammunition, that could be used at a later date. He replied to Christina (as she had read it and alerted him to the problem) and accidentally copied me in, saying, we are going to need to invite this guy in for a meeting. Sure enough, shortly after, Christina E Mailed me, inviting me in for the meeting, where Waggott was more interested in checking I wasn’t recording him than tackling the points I raised.

The accounts could be interesting, as the accountants will need the owners to put their usual statement in about funding, as the club trades insolvent. Assuming they are banned from funding the losses, they won’t be able to do that, so it could be the end at that point.

It really is amazing. This is why people like Waggott say and do the things they do. I know the term happy clappers is used, but naive in the extreme is more accurate.

It’s meant to be a very sarcastic post.

Given that it was to his/ owners detriment and a kind of admission, I did believe this one, but I do understand your sentiments.

If Venky’s send £11m to us, they also have to put another £11m in an account in India. If it turns out that the funds are not used for the stated purpose, these funds can be seized.

Thank goodness for that. I thought it was where we go to empty the content of our Stomachs!!!

It’s now been posted by WilsdenRover. There has been an awful lot of miss understanding and downright bluster surrounding this, probably purposely done internally. I think it is becoming increasingly clear how important this matter and the court hearing is, to the very future of the club, despite the miss leading statements being made.

Thanks for posting and backs up what Waggott told me. Clearly very honest, trustworthy and honorable people.

I was told that by Waggott himself, so pretty sure it’s accurate.

It puts a whole new meaning on Venky's never refuse to sign a Check. Maybe the are also getting someone who can Finnish.

Both of these amounts were to ensure the liabilities were met, so no doubt some of that included paying HMRC. Waggott did confirm to me, that all due tax had been paid up to the turn of the year and also advised that there were enough funds available in November, to ensure all payments were made, to the end of February. To my knowledge, no money have been sent by Venky's since November, although we are led to believe that funds have been requested.

It is strange really, as they had to pay into the bond for the two tranches sent last year. It is as though they have had the frighteners put on them now and maybe that's because they are less convinced than what they were, that this money will come back to them. As I posted earlier and have posted a few times before too, one of the conditions, for returning the bond is that the money is used for the purpose stated and they have stated that is it to protect their investment, which in my view is very miss leading.

I guess the title of this thread could be changed to, who will we sell and not replace this window?

Where are those odds? I saw 9/2 yesterday and thought that was generous.

That's my interpretation too.

I guess there could be three outcomes here. 1. The court agree to allow them to send funds with no further requirement for a bond and that's then up to the owners if they continue. 2. They allow funding to continue funding on the basis that they carry on paying the equivalent amount into a bond 3. They stop them from funding all together. The very fact that they have been made to pay into a bond in order for the last 2 payments to be made, must mean someone does not trust them and if the court are investigating this as fully as it seems, then I think I am going for number 3.

I am well aware of what he is saying.

I am pretty confident that the court will deny any further funding. As, I have previously stated, the owners have stated that they are using the funds sent last year, since the requirement for court permission was made, to" protect their investment". I am 100% certain that the court have been made aware that the value of the club is way less than the £200m sent so far and therefore that statement is at best miss leading. There are other things that I am sure they are considering too and with it being a complex web they have spun, it is not in the least bit surprising that the adjournment was to August from an initial date in January. over a seven month gap, for what would have been essential funding had AW not been sold, simply does not stack up. The stack of cards is about to tumble and the latest musings from Elliott Jackson seem to add more weight to that thought.

The bookies have us at 9/2 to go down and I think that's about right as we speak, but come the court hearing, I would expect the odds to drop significantly.

Sounds like you could be the perfect understudy for Leo, if you fancy a move abroad.

Will anyone there be providing updates on here, as I believe there is no stream. I am out of the UK but as always, will be tuning in to see how it is going, so any updates will be appreciated.

I could be wrong, but wonder if he is told what to report on and say at times. There was once an accidental quote left in one of his articles, which said please remove. It was thought that came from the club, hence thinking what i have here.
