Wasn’t discussed…but perhaps should have been…😆

The overwhelming emotion I experience these days is resignation to our fate. I can understand fully why so many folks have voted with their feet. It’s really hard to see any positives in a future owned by Venky’s. Loads of fans care but struggle to see how they can influence change. Those that tried are warned off by the club. Only a change of ownership can reignite this club now I fear.

He hasn’t posted since December last year. We can email him on the address we hold if it’s still valid.

I’m with @arbitroon this…the speed of the “about turn” suggests it was anything but, this was a false rumour that was quickly deleted by its originator. If you had revealed something so awful that made the club change its mind - why then delete your post? Wouldn’t you instead claim the victory? “my reveal made them think again…” ? 🤔

Thanks but I think it’s a lot simpler than you paint it. Companies borrow money to buy assets all the time. In the UK we call these mortgages… When a bank lends money it is the loan that is an asset in their books, not the thing purchased with the loan. I simply do not understand how you can claim that Rovers are an investment to anyone other than the shareholders of VLL. What you write about SBI above & how these loans are represented is I’m afraid fanciful… International accounting standards must apply.

It could…but it won’t…start I mean. Not struggle. It will definitely struggle.

Can Rovers blunt the Blades? 👀 Recent Head to Head

Blackie Gray’s cruciate injury might prove to be pivotal…

Thanks Carl…good to know…still a few left…👀

The club’s parent is VLL, a UK registered entity. It has a (very modest) unsecured overdraft from SBI. If V’s decide to sell the club without paying off that overdraft, SBI would simply squeeze the credit lines elsewhere in the group until they got paid. They wouldn’t just shrug their shoulders and go “never mind…” To suggest otherwise I find to be completely incredible…

I get the allusion…but struggle with it; the SBI stuff I simply can’t get my head around 🤷‍♂️

Harchester United & Melchester Rovers ?

Please could you explain, in plain English, how & why the SBI would have to write off debt if Venky’s decide to sell the club. I am struggling to grasp your logic.

There is a Fans Forum thread…👀

Bumping this to stop comments in the wrong thread…

Went today…a BMW X5 parked in front of us…Suhail emerged from the passenger seat. I’m on blood pressure medication so resisted all temptation to give him what for… Thought we started quite well on the whole, created at least 3 decent chances but when we missed them all we all turned to each other & said “Well we know what’s coming now don’t we?” And so it transpired. Coventry picked us apart quickly & ruthlessly & then they seemed to realise that they could conserve energy & so they stepped off the accelerator and coasted till full time. Rovers in that 2nd half looked like a lower league team away in the FA Cup against objectively more skilful, more experienced and confident opponents. One look at the bench made you realise that options were thin on the ground and our fate was sealed. Let there be no doubt, this club is in the thick of a relegation battle. The stench is all-pervading. I’m no Ismael fan but let’s all agree on one thing, he isn’t the cause of this nonsense & his removal would effectively be shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic.

That’s the one…

Anyone remember the Peterborough game in 1975 (?) when an old boy in the Nuttall St enclosure emptied his flask over the ref as he went down the tunnel..?

We have an affiliate link with Classic Football Shirts…👀😆

Ahead of this afternoon…

Happy times versus Coventry to inspire…

The fan group assembled in April 24 suggested this…be interested to know who the fan was who came up with the design…

For all those who don’t want an all white shirt to celebrate the 150th… 😉

My understanding (from the meeting with Fraser back in April 24) was that the anniversary shirt would be worn in the commemorative game much like the 125 one was against Wolves in 2000. I do wonder if the calendar has rather taken them by surprise & so we may well have player anniversary shirts with a poppy & fan anniversary shirts without. Either way, I won’t be buying one…I’m extremely fond of my 1950’s shirt 😉
