When you've got the senior management of the club activity working against you, to get Rovers promoted would be an absolute miracle.

Then off to jazzys for a swift half after the match....

The fact that a no mark club like Brentford are there comfortably shows that we would more likely than not still be there now had the chicken molesters not darkened our door. "Where would we be without Venkys?" As they all say... We'd still be in the Premier League you fucking smeg.

Once again, a well priced season ticket would have negated this issue.

This is true. Its one thing often overlooked by a lot of people. No due diligence done whatsoever when selling the club all they cared about was money. Not a shred of respect for the legacy of the people that gave it to them. I also can't understand why people are pleased with venkys for paying the bills. The only reason the club loses so much money is because of them. They are covering losses that they have caused. Its like applauding someone for paying for their meal in a restaurant after they've just set the place on fire. The mind doth boggle.

I didn't realise you could access this forum from an alternate plane of reality.

Does that place even exist anymore?

Offsetting of losses. People say that isn't how the tax laws work in India but do they really know the ins and outs of that? Also, Venkys is a huge multinational organisation and we have no idea how it is structured. Maybe I'm just putting two and two together to get five but I find it suspicious that the club loses roughly the same amount every year. There are efforts made to ensure that the losses don't exceed that 20 ish million mark and there are efforts made to make sure we don't generate any real income. I can't say for certain what is going on but from what I have seen there has been every effort made to get the club into the championship and keep it there.

Congratulations. You have just won BRFCS.

Are you really that surprised? This is the club that does everything it can to make lifelong season ticket holders stop going.

100% Twice they have deliberately sabotaged any chance of promotion. It's funny how when we were in league one there wasn't a huge cutback on player wages and the like. Yet when they deliberately relegated the club from the prem that was all they talked about. All the club is to them is a means of debt laundering.

Total bollocks. Venkys never repair anything.

Maybe all those brainless Dingles mouthing off about how all three million of them were going to take the place over has had some repercussions.....

Three in the middle. Providing we have three to go in the middle that is

Rovers allow the manager to finish his contract then start looking for a replacement about a month after.

Make sure there's a massive premier league winners flag there. Show them what it is to win a proper league title.

We will be in the Championship. Any incoming money will be trousered. There will be at least one more "oopsie daisy" moment where a crucial transfer or whatever will fall through due to the deliberate incompetence of the senior management at Rovers.

What were the questions? 1. Is your wife/husband/partner a blood relative? 2. On a scale of 1 to 10 how attractive are your siblings? 3. You see a former Burnley manager's wife in the chip shop, what do you do?

That's a good game to start with though really. Its basically a free shot.

The playoffs were always in the hands of the coaching and playing staff. They didn't have the greatest grip on it but it has always been in their hands. What's made things really difficult for them is when the senior management deliberately try and knock it out of their hands.

Nah fuck that. Get him on the bull steroids and bulk him up.

Thank fuck that never happened.

Erm Ewood only holds 32000 so realistically only a third of the towns population can go to games.
