I see another deliberate relegation on the horizon.

It would be big no doubt about it but we need to remain focused on the real problem. Suhail might be running a bit of misinformation back to them about how the situation is on the ground but he has been and always will be their lap dog. The direction of the club is entirely driven by venkys, Suhail's job is to do their bidding and to shield them from any consequences of their actions. They don't want to get involved in a hands on way, they just want him to carry out their instructions. If/when he is removed they will install another lap dog that will sit, bark and beg on command just like the current on does. After 15 years there's no room for compromise anymore. They have to go.

Maybe if we were even attempting to reach the top level then we'd stand a chance of keeping hold of some of these players.

What an awesome move for him. Italian football is on the rise again I feel. Plus it's Milan obviously.

Does anyone seriously think we are trying to sign decent players that will improve the squad?

I agree with this but once this guy is ousted then what? The main goal has to be venkys leaving. By any means necessary. No compromise. Suhail might be the one on the ground at Ewood calling the shots and h e clearly has a certain level of impunity and free reign to do as he pleases, but he's still just a venky lap dog. The decision to relegate us from the prem and never make a single attempt to get back along with relegation to league one is all on them. Don't forget that.

Sell up and fuck off.

But I thought we only had 8,000 fans?

That's exactly what we want though. He's useless, unbelievably bad at communicating and seemingly quiet dense. It further adds to our argument that the ownership is not fit for purpose and needs to be removed by any means necessary.

Given that we now have our unanimously elected representative, I would like to put forward the notion that we adopt a position of demanding that the club be put up for sale. No compromise. All those in favour....

Fixed.

No surprise at all. You could see this from a mile off, especially with his egregious pension contributions of recent. Good riddance, hopefully the rest of his life is filled with pain and mystery.

I agree with this re-evaluation.

Pepball works when you have the best players in the world at your disposal. If you don't have that then it doesn't work.

@K-Hod is a great choice I believe. I've personally never had a bad interaction with him and he's usually on the money with his points.

Kieran Maguire doesn't know what he's talking about. The bloke's a complete throbber.

The statement from WATR is a disgrace. Meek, mild, pathetic, pandering shit. Stop fucking about and join the coalition now.

Bring on the boom!

Filled.

2-1-7 what a formation

The manner in which funding mysteriously just dried up as soon as they were under investigation leads me to believe that they were always doing something nefarious financially with the club. That's not to say they ever actually funded the club properly, they just had no problems with spaffing 15m on losses that could have easily been avoided by just running the club properly. When the investigation started in 2021 we saw an end to the lucrative contracts being handed out left right and centre (with lots of juicy commissions for agents) and saw a move to allowing contracts to expire when they became too expensive and the fire sale of everything that isn't nailed down. The downgrade of the women's team is the latest of these actions. Although I don't believe that the financial element was 100% the reason for them buying the club in the first place, I'd hazard a guess and say it was a big part of their reason for the purchase. The othere three venktards would have needed to see some benefit to the purchase beyond fat baz wanting a new thing to flex in public. I'd say an overseas business woth turnover in the millions that can make huge losses without drawing much if any scrutiny could be deemed quite handy to a multi billion pound corporation looking to skirt some rules on regulations.

The Clash - The Call Up

So they've deliberately relegated the Women's team for financial reasons exactly the same as they did with the men's.

As far as I'm aware, they've still to get a No Objection Certificate prior to sending funds. The guarantee is a condition of them receiving the certificate from the ED. This was a compromise agreement when they were refused the certificate the other year.

Funny how Leicester get charged yet Chelsea are Man City don't. Almost as though the system is run totally in favour of the biggest and wealthiest clubs...
