The blocker was of their own choosing but yes that excuse/reason (take your choice) is no longer there. The order suggests the maximum fine Venkys will receive from the adjudicating authority will be around £7.7 million* Mere chicken feed to them surely… * assuming I’ve done the currency conversion correctly!!

guarantee condition removed… https://delhihighcourt.nic.in/app/showlogo/1757322518_a0cd37f819e860dc_587_79662023.pdf/2025

‘Chelsea do not want to spend the money and then risk being snubbed by the Government’. Why don’t they just pay the standard compo figure then before taking their chances re the visa?? Very odd.

We shouldn’t have to guess, they should have been clearer.

£87 million of this was racked up in the first 5 years of their ownership. ‘Only’ £47 million was added between 2015 and 2024. (Total £134 million)

We didn’t know it at the time but the investigation into the Venkys started prior to these players leaving.

Not registering Pears would feel like an act of self harm (who thought anyone would ever say that!). The EFL say they’ll publish the squad lists within 7 days of a window closing so we don’t have long to wait to see who, and how many, we’ve registered.

That’s correct.

It would be interesting to know if Rhodes has a one year contract as per the ad and the minimum qualifications stated in it too.

I don’t think the judge has an issue doing and saying exactly what he wants. 😁

The Venkys are trying to be allowed to send money without the need for further guarantee payments. They could always: Send the money and make the guarantee payment (no court input needed) and then; Go to court to try and get that payment refunded. I wonder (well I don’t really) why they haven’t chosen this option…

I think the judge may have done a runner as I’ve just tried to join the court proceedings and it says waiting for host… In the meantime, here’s the order from yesterday:

He’s not played for nine months, might take more than just a few matches.

I think tomorrow is going to be (yet another) occasion where there isn’t time for the case to be heard. It is listed as case number 111 and the 24th which is a ‘supplemental matter’. Supplemental matters are taken up when the court returns after lunch at 14:30 and the court finishes at 16:30 (Delhi time). I think the word we’re all looking for is farcical.

The Complaint to the Adjudicating Authority has been made by the Directorate of Enforcement. This is the procedure which follows their investigation and is basically them saying they believe Venkys have a case to answer. The Venkys want to see the complaint as they want to know if the value of the guarantees they’ve had to lodge and the properties they’ve had seized is higher than the sum involved in their alleged wrongdoings. If It does, I think they’re going to argue this means the guarantee condition (for them remitting money overseas) should be removed.

I can promise you no one is more disappointed in me than I am.

No. The Directorate of Enforcement were told in court last Friday to produce a copy of the complaint they’ve made to the Adjudicating Authority and a new hearing (today’s) was scheduled. Today Venkys stated they hadn’t been provided with this copy (and neither had the court). Because of this the judge rescheduled for tomorrow.

I’ll be fine tomorrow as because (I think) it will be listed as a supplementary matter the earliest it will be heard is 10am (our time). I’ll warn everyone now though, there’s a risk I might not be in to watch it😬😬.

About to become exponential??

It feels that way.

I found out the other day how long the Adjudicating Authority has to make a decision but no dare not say 😬 This is before you add on all the appeals which are allowed 😬😬 In terms of this case, and based entirely on gut instinct, I think the judge might be minded to remove the guarantee condition.

Just checked and is due back in court tomorrow however listing number is yet to be published.
