Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
1864roverite replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The books are open and have been since they took over - the FA - EPL before - have to see them every season so it’s a mute point you make. There is NO money laundering through Rovers and BRFC are not under investigation NOR are they linked to anything Venkys have done with their Indian tax returns! -

It’s utter bollocks as usual! A non committal story that’s worth faff all! Any decent reporter would have dug a bit further rather than announce such tripe - truth is not one bid has been made, there are nor have been offers for over 4 years and any enticement into investment was initially offered then taken off the table !! -

What is the difference in funding Rovers from India whilst funding and having large business interests in the USA and Europe? -
a few snap shots KHOD Really disappointed with the manager with those substitutions. Might as well have thrown a white towel on the pitch and walked off. Before those two substitutions we were competing really well. Okay, we have limitations but swapping a CB for another when needing a goal? Literally what is the point? Those substitutions The subs were crap but that says more about our shite squad than Eustace. And with them subs there goes the game Markanday coming on - Eustace waving the white flag Koumetio is a bombscare What on earth was the non-league level Liverpool lad doing then. They’ll be targeting him until the end if they have any sense Koumetio. Good grief he is poor The kid at left back looks like he has won a comp in the LET. Awful

Fans lamenting last nights performance need to give their bloody heads a wobble. NUFC squad/team last night was valued at some £250m with quality across the park versus a team that cost no more than £5m. Rovers battled each to a man, it was an impressive effort greatly appreciated by the fans in the ground, hence the reason why they were applauded off the pitch. I left feeling proud to be a Rover which hasn't been the case for a good while. Even the Geordie fans I met were remarking just how unlucky we were. The roof lifted when SS equalised, if only we can recreate that atmosphere for the few home games that we have left. Time to back the team!

It might not be good on the eye however a point away in a six pointer isn’t too bad a return imo. 3 points is massive but Rovers don’t seem able to produce a bit of quality going forward to open a chance of scoring -
Irac the dates were put back in relation to the investigation NOT release of funding to BRFC.

Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
1864roverite replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Of course there is but there hasn’t! In fact some original allegations have been removed, two amended with a request to discharge a further allegation. On that basis the court will continue to approve and it’s a simple paper exercise. venkys will provide a scapegoat as well as having political support so fat balaji won’t see the inside of a cell. Indian authorities still deal in brown envelopes! the reporter who uncovered the saga hasn’t made anymore such allegations since! Maybe he has received such a brown envelope since🤫🤫🤫 -

Reading this from my hotel in Singapore ! GMs comments seem to be constantly ignored, there has not been any winding up order issued it’s as simple as 1-2-3. To date, despite what is uttered or written in here, no one has the gumption to properly organise a March of disdain/remove Waggot or venkys in fact some suggestions are imbecilic such as pitch invasions! Those who think admin is the way forward think again! It isn’t an option. The suggestion Rovers will have buyers is again living in cuckoo land. Venkys are ripe for a picking at this time and I believe IF there was a credible potential buyer out there there would be bids, reality is there is not! Rovers are not under suspicion nor is the venky link to the club part of it, their issue are tax related issues to personal property purchases ie the purchase of a property and land through their business books NOT Rovers. Those hoping for a court turnaround, a precedent is in place meaning unless the court sees a major issue nothing will change! Looking forward to reading about organisational and positives in taking the protest forwards. -

Some members need to understand that any Indian investigation does not nor can it include anything to do with the football club - its is a tax related issue for Venkys in their country - I repeat what I said a few months ago IF Rovers were being investigated on the back of some related issue then the SFO would have raided Ewood and Brockhall and taken away every bit of paper linked to thenfootballmoperation - the offices of Venkys would have been stripped bare - none of this has happened nor will it happen in the future ! The Indian courts like UK and European courts work with precedents and on that basis there is little chance of the courts declining another request by the venkys UNLESS there is credible evidence of misuse of the funds that were released! By all accounts a number of allegations have been discharged some have been watered down and their defence seems to be holding out - whatever the defence is sounding get over excited about a RAO getting bummed in an Indian gaol! -
That *was* the January Window

You forgot to add the most important aspect of their footballing operation. They used an algorithm to scout their talent ensuring they got the best results from players who were relatively unknown and then working with their results ensuring a much better return both within the initial investment and when selling a player - Rovers have the ability to operate similarly but are hamstrung by the indecision and current processes they use from the owners - if they removed that obstacle then I am certain our footballing operation would be enhanced -

v Huddersfield Town (a) - 26/12/23
1864roverite replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I’ve defended Leo on the back of some fabulous saves however today that was truly fucking awful goalkeeping - this team seems disjointed and just don’t see anRovwrs comeback on the cards even though Huddersfield are awful -

1864roverite replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Didn’t deserve that to be honest - those berating Leo get a grip - same for those slagging the bench we are decimated by injuries and the bench is testament to our academy Almost 18k well done to all merry Christmas -

Refreshing to see plenty of faces around Ewood - concourses in JW packed solid. Venkys Waggot and co take note The Fans matter as you can see - get it right for once and for all -

Mike and everyone associated with this project can be rightly proud of their sterling work. There are many good comments regarding the way forward - my take is that the club should be looking at the numbers on Saturday and compare them over the past 10 years and see what can be achieved with forward thinking and the involvement of the Fans Trust and others - there is a recipe for success SW and conned to buy into it 👍 -

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with everything that has been said about this so called Digital Day, I think a lot of people misunderstand the ability of our senior citizens to embrace modern technology. I use my own 80yr old mother as a good example, competent on ipads, smart phones, e readers and streaming tv, there are many many out there who known more about tech than we give credit for. And yes, I do know there are many who dont! -
