I couldn’t agree more. I only see two ways out: 1) The Indian government somehow make it impossible for Venkys to own the club - probably risking administration. 2) The fan base unites and makes it completely impossible for anyone from Venkys to be here. The only way this works is if someone is willing to put their career, home life and health at risk by fronting it all. Sadly the second option risks unrest, which the majority of the fan base will not get behind. So we’ll continue plodding along on a negative trajectory until we’re a shell of a football club.

Hopefully they don't bother.

One for Duncan I suspect, its very hard to be clear. I promised myself after the last time I wouldn't become obsessed with trying to understand indian law, but here I am again.

Thanks for the clarification. Feel like this should be pinned so we can all refer back to it.

Thats not correct mate. To send the money WITHOUT having to duplicate it as a bond they have to go through the court. They can send as much money as they want right now if they want, but have to match it as a bond to the Government.

The demand for housing isn’t there?! My house in the Ribble Valley has gone up in value by over 20% in 2 years, the Ribble Valley has a population problem, you can’t get a house here!

Not necessarily true. The general understanding (as above) is they can still fund it as normal, but for every £1 they send to the club they have to put a £1 deposit into a Indian Government owned Bank as a deposit. Which in summer they obviously didn’t want to do. Either they’re terrified they’ll lose the case or they don’t have (or don’t want) the cash flow of double bubble.

That is what Waggott told me and has been reported in the Athletic. So that’s what I’m sticking with until we know any different.

My understanding of this was that this means for every £1 they send here, they also have to send £1 to a bank account owned by the Indian Government as essentially a bond whilst the case is underway. Can anyone confirm/clarify that?

At this point I can't get onboard with anything that comes from Waggott. He's had more than enough time to prove he's capable of doing the job and at best he's proved that he can just about make sure we don't go bankrupt by selling all our best players. The guy is clearly incapable of pushing us any further than total mediocracy and anyone entertaining him and his nonsense should know better.

Middlesbrough 6 - 0 Rovers

He's already uprooted his family once in the last 12 months, I would imagine with his new role being an international manager with less day to day training ground work and them now settled in schools and playing football he’s not in a huge rush to pack all the bags again — which is exactly why he left the club in the first place. If I was him I would knock around until the end of the year simply to watch this club completely fold into a standard-less shell of its former self, just to bump into Waggott and Pasha and say “I told you so”.

Consider me an official non believer.

If it’s one step closer to life without Venkys then it’s a risk worth taking.

Going down, sorry to say it folks.

Add: 5) Sell the club to a respectable consortium fronted by an either a fan, director or a former player that understands this club …and I’ll snap your hands off at League Two. I’d absolutely love US investment from a consortium fronted by Brad Friedel.

Buckley has got a pretty hard job tonight finding a gap, they’re playing a deep back line and there’s little space.

Hardly touched it but when he has he’s looked fine.

Has Steve been to Orlando yet?

Markanday? Jesus christ I hope not.

A battle of bottle - not the sort of game we compete in. 2-0 Millwall.

This lad is shite — nowhere near the required quality for this level. Get rid, hopefully I don’t see him play for us again.

I wouldn’t say this on Twitter because I’d be jumped on by our more positive fans, but consider me extremely unconvinced about Eustace as a manager and concerned about the amount of points we are getting.

Don’t want to speak to Ozz but whilst Venkys refuse to engage with anyone making even tentative enquiries I cant see any reason to revive anything.

@StubbsUK can explain but it is a known error
