Would Venkys be able to sell the Club whilst the investigation is still live?
The club isn’t under investigation…so yes.

I think the value of the training ground is insignificant, really. The land is pretty much worthless to developers for the medium term. No way will it be able to be used for anything other than Rovers or some form of employment. One of the big criticisms of the brockhall development plan was that it just wasn't needed. The demand for housing just is not there in this area. When Rovers first took on Brockhall it was able to get planning permission in part because Rovers stressed it would continue to be a place of employment, as that is a condition of the land following its former use as a hospital / major employer.
If Venkys sell the club they will have to put the training ground back in control of BRFC
The whole training ground development was such a bizarre move looking back on it. It was never, ever going to be allowed, so why did they even try it?
It was allowed for FFP at the time - there was a looming rule change so they did it before the loophole was closed.

Confirmed.
So the next question is “do they intend to send the cash notwithstanding the bond/escrow requirement”?
Being able to do so is one thing…being willing to is another…

With relegation arguably a realistic proposition I did a bit of digging and come up with some numbers. These are taken from an article in the Athletic from October last year. Currently Championship clubs get £5.19m in solidarity payments and £3.92m from the EFL. This is over £9m as a Championship club. As a League One club it drops to £780k and £950k for both payments leaving a difference of over £7m. Factor in less season and match day tickets, less income from away supporters at Ewood, less commercial and hospitality income and it could leave a £10m hole.
A relegation would be catastrophic and in my view inevitably lead to administration. I really don't know if the people running the club have weighed up the implications. I would like this to be asked at the next Fans Forum and for Waggott to be put on the spot and interrogated as to how we could carry on.

£10m cost…or one sale of Sammie Szmodics 🤨

Think he is trying to set the expectations so low that when we are relegated the fans won't be surprised
I for one will not be surprised so I guess it’s working…😳
