Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
47er replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I cannot see the sense of holding on to the Club until we are promoted to the EPL. Firstly its not happened or even been close in 12 years+ so what makes Venkys think things will change for the better when everyone can see the situation worsens year by year? Secondly, say the reason for doing this is to get a higher price when they do agree to sell. If it takes 4 years, and I still think its never, that would be another loss of £80M to add to the losses incurred already of around £240M. So, conclusion, if their reasons are financial, they are even more deluded than I thought. Every year they hold on to the Club merely compounds the huge losses already piling up. The only sensible thing to do, from a purely financial point of view is to cut their losses, sell for what they can get now and avoid accumulating new debt every year. If there are other reasons, like wanting to get us back in the Premier League before they sell and bow out on a high as it were, then we are truly doomed because its not going to happen. -

Somehow we have to win 2 games. If we do, draws will get us over the line. Our scoring needs to pick up for this to happen. But how? Wharton from direct corners? -

Its a bit confronting though to know that no-one will ever be able to buy us under that scenario! As if we could ever achieve promotion to the Premier League under Venkys! That dream drifts farther away with every season they own us. -

So "No" to speculation then? Boring MB? -

I'll always remembers 2 examples of the conundrum that is Hedges---one of the best goals I have ever seen at any level, against QPR and that abject fatal disaster that cost us our Play-Off place at Preston. -

You couldn't call Hedges "consistent" though could you? Consistently injured maybe. Not a good buy really. -
John Eustace - our head coach

He's tightened up the defence which is the key to staying up but the goals have dried up. You'd have to think Ipswich will score a couple at least after today's result so that leaves us needing 2 goals for a draw and 3 to win! We could be panicking again after Good Friday! -

I don't remember many saying that either. Its clear we were stagnating under them, they wouldn't finance Hughes" moderate plans when we were on the up. So shortsighted when he had us finishing 6th. Supporting him properly would have seen us attracting more buyers and them getting more money. But they wanted what they could get "now" and didn't care who from. -

Leeds allowing Paveda to leave on a free at the end of the season apparently. Better than what we have? Only a goer if we stay in the Championship of course.
