Rangers Russell Martin currently behind again.

Less hair-raising moments?

A much needed result.

Autos? 😁

Does that make RF99 Dr Watson?

Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me

Nope, I didn’t foresee it being listed so quickly - lucky for them or I would have been furious 😁😁

True. I was just wondering whether he could only get a one year visa (lack of English) and that’s why the loan with a view. I’m sure there are far more likely reasons though.

Case was listed for today. Judge wasn’t in. That is all 🤦‍♂️

Rather random question but does Baradji speak English?

‘His career really got going in Italy…’ … at clubs I, and no doubt many others, have never heard of.

We don’t know because Venkys have never asked…

No reason is given in the filing list. Every previous application has either been to ask to send monies or to try and change the conditions for doing so. There’s no longer a need to go to court just to be able to send funds as the Directorate of Enforcement are ‘happy’ to issue No Objection Certificates subject to the previously imposed conditions being adhered to. Therefore my guess, and it is just that, is they’re trying again to have the guarantee requirement removed.

Are we trusting me to have got everything right? Sounds dangerous 😁😁

You’re welcome, I’m glad it made sense because as I wrote it I wasn’t sure it was going to! 😁

Just a quick addition, the Venkys were given the necessary permissions under the old legislation on 6/4/2022 (for £23 million) and 26/5/2022 (for £14 million). The new legislation came into force on 22/8/2022. That’s 3/4 months when the above sums could have been sent without hindrance.

The original court case was instigated by the Venkys as a result of the restrictions placed on them because of the Directorate of Enforcement investigation. Under the current legislation, this investigation means they need a No Objection Certificate from the Directorate before they can send monies overseas. The Venkys believe, in respect to the sum covered in the original writ, that the No Objection Certificate the State Bank of India had issued was sufficient (as this is what was required under the old legislation). Their bank disagreed and insisted on the certificate from the Directorate who then refused to issue one - hence the court case which (unbelievably some would say) is still yet to be heard. In terms of this case, I think the best ( but unlikely) result for us (the fans) is the judge removing all restrictions as this removes any excuses the Venkys have regarding them no longer funding us sufficiently. In terms of the investigation, if they’re found guilty they will be fined a sum which is probably small change to them. It’s been mentioned many times before that their reputation (ha!) is very important to them so I think our best hope is they’re found guilty and the press ‘steps up’ and causes them plenty of bad publicity. Whether this would be sufficient for them to think enough is enough - I sadly doubt it.

skill irrelevant, cost crucial.

Reference to October now removed: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/august/20/leo-heads-to-san-diego-/

Venkys have today filed another Civil Miscellaneous Application with the court. They’ve previously used these to try and get interim relief whilst their main case is still pending. For example, they used one to seek permission to send the £11 million in October ‘23 and they used another in Sept ‘24 to try and have the guarantee condition removed. The last one (May this year) was heard roughly a month after the papers were lodged - I’ll keep my eyes peeled…

It does feel like we’re scrambling around for every single penny.

Surely you could throw in some complimentary scissors.

I’m not sure many fans were confused, I expect most assumed Rovers had got it wrong.

An English Qualified Player is someone who is eligible for England senior team when he first permanently registers with the club in question.

In my experience, most finalised legal documents end up with ‘holes’ in them. For these to remain unrectified year after year is what I take issue with.
