My view of what? The court case deals with a very specific issue that has nothing to do with Rovers.

I referenced the fact the money they invest is loose change. I’m speculating that there is also an element of pride at play. I don’t buy the grand conspiracy nonsense.

Yeah, I referenced the you/know-who in my post. Fergie said the club was being run by agents after allardyce was sacked. I don’t think anyone disagrees. My point about the conspiracy was in relation to why they haven’t sold the club. Money laundering, tax evasion, asset stripping and the usual reasons make no sense and there’s no evidence. So what’s left? Just the mundane reason that Rovers is just a hobby for some very very rich people who can afford to keep the club running and beyond that have no real plan or ambition for BRFC.

I’ve never bought the conspiracy angle. They’re just rich kids who have inherited wealth and wanted the kudos of owning a PL club. They got duped by you know who and thought they could invest £5m and get in the champions League every year. Hahaha. They now can’t extricate themselves from the madness as they’ll lose face and practically every penny of the £300m they’ve had to invest to keep the club afloat. Over 15 years it’s still loose change to them but I doubt they’ll sell on the cheap cos it will be again be loss of face. So it just rolls on, the Venky boot stamping on the face of BRFC forever…. Getting rid of Waggott et al will change nothing.

Strange you’re focussed on the symptoms not the disease. The reason the circus exists is because of the owners. Venkys aren’t some benevolent invested owners being held back by shitty operators at Ewood. Venkys are the reason why we have shitty operators at Ewood. The owners need to go now. That should be the only focus.

Try to be more grateful. It if wasn’t for the overseas hedge fund who own the cinema selling the cinema’s car park to fund more shit films, there wouldn’t be a cinema. Ingrate!

Seen Norwich, Rangers and Celtic linked with Dolan.

I now expect Batth and Travis to sign 10 year contracts at Rovers within the next week

I think the charge is they bought Neville’s house with money they said was being sent over for use in their poultry business.

Exactly!

No, it’s a choice.

I’ve been saying this for a while. There’s no impediment if they can send money. Some have never quite grasped that part. The funny thing is by parroting the same nonsense the fans who haven’t quite grasped it are actually protecting Venkys. The reality is Venkys are choosing not to send money. Nobody is stopping them. There is no impediment. They are choosing to cover costs when they have to and nothing else. THAT IS A CHOICE!

Stats on a player being able to win a header are fairly meaningless if the player has limited technique and the ball ends up travelling in a different direction than intended.

Yet we had a very good record when Gally played iirc. Causation vs Correlation.

Good chat

If VI implements the aggressive, more attacking style he apparently favours then the forwards should hopefully get more chances to make an impact next season. JE took a very cautious approach and we hardly flooded the box when attacking. The likes of Ohashi and Gueye could fare a lot better next season, especially as they’ll now be properly acclimatised to EFL football.

Last summers transfer thread should see you right

Potentially yes, but rational discussion has long left the building.

That’s already begun courtesy of Jackson’s story today. Both Weimann and Batth have links to the midlands.

Which has nothing to do with what I posted. And the people upset we are going to lose Batth and Weimann are the same people who were upset we were signing them last summer😉

‘No chance we’re re-signing/signing him’ You say the same every summer/Jan about every player we are linked with and then claim you were right😉 You’re bound to be right about some!

I wouldn’t be surprised if there are plans to sell either Hyam or Carter.

And they’ve said they’ll sign attackers. So we’ll wait and see how far the budget stretches. Ohashi has shown there are bargains out there and he may be even better next season. Kargbo may be a revelation next season. A quality right winger and another striker and we could have a quick, effective strike force.

you’re also discounting the fact Batth is a Eustace signing and VI plays a different way. VI is a lot less rigid in his set up and doesn’t sit as deep. Batth may not be quite as effective in a team where the CBs are expected to be a bit more dynamic and cover a bit more ground. Who knows, Batth and Hyam may not start the season as first choice CB’s. It may well be Carter and someone new. All food for thought. New manager, new ideas, new tactics, new players. It’s not as simple as saying the defence is good, attack bad!

That’s hilarious considering the tedious number of arguments we all have to sit thru between you and Chaddy, which are the dictionary definition of point scoring and pedantry. Back to the football and we have no idea what this CB will cost and how it impacts the rest of the budget. You’re just guessing.
