[Hughesy]

So the ESPN / Star TV deal is what is attracting all the indian investors? I can see why, if they get a club owned by an Indian then it will get FAR more press & exposure back home....Interesting!

Aslong as we get quality players, rotating or not - it shouldnt matter!

[AndyNeil]

Just to put you all out of your misery.

The statement will be this:

"The club can confirm that we are in talks with VH / Kentaro. These talks will be ongoing, blah blah blah."

Your spin on things? Fact? or just a stab in the dark?

[Hughesy]

Any chance someone could link the article....dont think iv seen one yet

[JohnD]

Thanks for all the links guys but I think I'll wait for the story in the LET. (yawn)

I didn't see anything that The Rovers would want to make a statement about.

[RovertheHill]

Is it this?

Ooops - just seen the link posted above - sorry

[AndyNeil]

I think the rovers website might be worth a read before the LET in the morning.

[JohnD]

Oh and philipl that is pathetic and surely beneath you

[92er]

Is it this?

It might be your-but I'm sure it was Hughsey's-sense of humour.

[BPF]

Your spin on things? Fact? or just a stab in the dark?

Well put it this way,

If the club say anything more than that, I'll eat a copy of The Mirror.

His 'hunches' and 'educated guesses' and 'contacts' have been leading us a merry dance for months.

Obviously wounded pride.

You seem quite sure about that ... attend any meetings down at Ewood tonight did you?

Everything I am being criticised for is lifted straight from the Mirror and People.

and that is an even worse comment - what do you want to be when you grow up?

Fans forum wasn't it? does Andy Cryer attend them?

That's not true.

[Billy Castell]

I just hope any manager we have has a say in when we sell players, sign players etc., and work with this Kentaro group.

[AndyNeil]

Fans forum wasn't it? does Andy Cryer attend them?

Yes - No

[JohnD]

This forum seems more concerned with wild speculation and oneupmanship than the future of the Rovers?

[chaddyrovers]

Yes - No

does anybody know what was said in the fans forum about the takeover?

If he does (and he should) let's just hope that it isn't BFS.

Firstly, there was very little that Philip posted that was inaccurate at the time. This takeover has changed rapidly. Those of you that have been lucky enough to have an insight on the process will confirm that it has been like watching a horse race whereby the horses keep getting shot but then amazingly rocket to the front. Many of you are letting your desperation take hold of your senses. Even if everything runs to plan, you are looking at late November. For those of you expecting a big announcement tomorrow, you will be disappointed.

[AndyNeil]

does anybody know what was said in the fans forum about the takeover?

Yes (not oneupmanship) ... but please don't ask as I will not tell you.

[Mattyblue]

Eh?

Take it JW was doing his usual 'off the record', 'on the record' routine?
