  1. More spin and flexing of the facts. The investigation isn't looking into the financial goings on of the club itself, most likely due to the fact they don't have jurisdiction and they would struggle to get the required permission to conduct an investigation like that in the UK as the UK is one of the world's money laundering centres. So yes they aren't directly investigating the club but the people who own the club are being investigated.
  2. There's always been rumblings of suspected money laundering. I read a bit about money laundering in sports and football in particular. Venkys ownership of Rovers ticked a lot of boxes when it came to that. Then there's the Directorate Of Enforcement who's number one mandate is tackling money laundering. Still, I'm sure all that is just a wild conspiracy theory and the real cause of fourteen years of absolute shit is all down them being "badly advised" and "disinterested".
  3. It's a threat to the ability of the owners to carry on whatever scam they've been running here. BRFC will survive. Bring it on.
  4. The Beatles - And I Love Her
  5. It's still not the best choice for a soul compilation, especially one that is post MLK Jr and Huey Newton. Some absolute belters on there though. Standouts obviously being Otis Redding, Aretha, Sam & Dave, Sly & The Family Stone and an absolutely buzzing tune from the Pointer Sisters.
  6. Signing out of this now as it's reaching chaddy levels of missing the point. Let the length feeding begin.
  7. I do a lot of this contract stuff for a living and the difference between a phrase like 'can do' and 'should be able to' is absolutely colossal. If you attempt to hold someone like Waggot to account over something like this when they said 'should be able to' and you've interpreted it as 'can do' then you'll end up being fed a length. This is the last I'll say on the matter. Any transfer news? Of course not it's venkys F.C.
  8. I think that's the overriding point here. People are reaching the point where they have said enough is enough and are not going to let the club take the piss out of them anymore. It's not the first time I've seen it posted on this forum, long time loyal fans getting pushed to this point. Absolutely the most damning indictment of the venky ownership you can get.
  9. You mean MB is beligerantly missing the point again? What is the world coming to?
  10. Or whoever wrote that, given the absolute dog shit grammar.
  11. Well then no offence but you need to learn to read these things properly. They didn't definitively say that. They implied it though and it is clearly the impression that they are trying to give. I know you're not stupid enough to believe that there's nothing wrong and all is fine but if you want to go after Waggot or anyone else with claims of "fake news" and you're going to use this as your ammunition, don't be surprised if you end up getting annihilated.
  12. Where? Show me the exact words where they say they can fund the club as they have before the fraud investigation.
  13. They didn't say that though. They definitely implied it but didn't actually say that.
  14. I think you mean the 13th Floor Elevators there Tyrone. Eater - Outside View
  15. They don't specifically say that they can fund the club they just say "support". It's a very cleverly worded statement and avoids any direct confirmation of anything. As I understand it, venkys must get a certificate of "No Objection" from the ED whilst they are under investigation by them before they can send over any funds. The next court hearing is scheduled for late August. It's highly likely this could be postponed.
  16. They've repeatedly refused to sell players when presented with offers. They've repeatedly refused to do anything to help increase our commercial revenue. The sales of Wharton and the inevitable sale of Szmodics will help cushion the immediate blow of dropping down into the next level then it's less cost, less attention. Happy days.
  17. He always posts shit like that. He's either a deliberate agent of the club or an absolute brainless moron.
  18. About four or five games into the League One campaign.
  19. The same club said that this was all due to a tax issue last year and that was a lie. The owners are under investigation for fraud.
  20. Only just another four thousand to go to prevent another complete failure.
  21. The Guess Who - American Woman
  22. Absolutely pathetic attempt.
  23. I reckon we'll have no more than 5 by the end of September.
  24. If you were a professional football player and you had the choice between another club and this absolute cesspool what would you choose?
  25. Probably why the quality is so fucking shit.
