One of the worst articles I've ever read!!!!!!!!

Absolute rubbish.

To whoever wrote that crap....put your flat cap on, pick up your daily mail, make up a flask of bovril and go sit at a bus stop and moan until your hearts content.

Agree totally. This bit is very embarrassing:

"I don’t know, but I would guess that Roque Santa Cruz’s agent works for SEM – can anyone shed light on that?

I assume you’ve spotted a pattern . . ."

The pattern only works using their wild assumption. I hope it's no-one connected with this site!

Yes it was badly written, though mostly correct in what has been said, the whole of the football world is taking note of what is happening at Rovers at the moment and comments from players and management alike are far from complimentary, of course, they could ALL be wrong, yet again they could be correct. There is also the problems concerning long term purchases at the club, how would they see signing for Rovers above another club in viewing this situation?

My feeling is this, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time!

Just bumping this to the top. Hope phillipl/jim2k etc etc will take the Venky/SEM/Kentaro discussion here instead of the "Transfer Windows" thread. Mods - feel free to delete!

That is very true.

[RevidgeBlue]

What's this, we'll have no trouble here - this is a LOCAL Club for LOCAL people!

[jim mk2]

To sum up with regards to personnel since the takeover, so far the new owners have

1. Dumped a competant respected manager and replaced with an unknown manager (agency Kentaro/SEM)

2. Appointed a No 2 who was working in the Danish media after losing his job (agency Kentaro/SEM)

3. Apparently secured a deal to sign next summer an unneeded winger, Seb Larsson (agency Kentaro/SEM).

4. Given a new long-term deal to a striker who is generally regarded a below PL standard, Nick Blackman (agency Kentaro/SEM).

Anyone spot the connection here ?

[John]

Surely need to be careful now as if we haven't already we are close to breaking Premier League rules?

How so?

If we had signed Kentaro/SEM only players then I'm sure the Premier League will have a word. But it's looking like we are bringing in the Barca kid Rochina and Santa Cruz. Neither of them are repesented by Kentaro/SEM.

[John]

I am not sure if the rules just relate to players? What about our new management team who have come together, for example.

The rules prohibit third parties from exerting ‘undue influence’ over a club’s activities.

Not an expert on the rules however would think we need to be careful....

Dumped a Manager who had taken us a few as he could, with someone who shares there ambition

2. Appointed a No 2 who was working in the Danish media after losing his job (agency Kentaro/SEM)

Appointed a No 2 who likes to play attractive attacking football

3. Apparently secured a deal to sign next summer an unneeded winger, Seb Larsson (agency Kentaro/SEM).

added quality to the squad, who knows where players such as Diouf will be next season

4. Given a new long-term deal to a striker who is generally regarded a below PL standard, Nick Blackman (agency Kentaro/SEM).

proving they really want to invest in promising young players

I disagree with most things you post but I didn't think you were an idiot.

That article is rubbish. You can still believe what you want to believe about Venky's and Kentaro but that article is bullshine. Just because it has the same overall opinion as your own doesn't mean you have to agree with it.

And the players are making negative comments about what's happening at Rovers are they? There were a few comments about Allardyce's sacking when it happened, nothing since so don't spout rubbish. People on here jump on any unjustified scare mongering.

I'm not aiming this at you because I don't know you, but I would not be surprised if most of the negativity towards Venky's is racially motivated.

Now this is a ridiculous post.

I strongly argued in favour of Indian ownership and pointed out how advanced Indian business thinking practices are in so many areas. Sadly the lot we have got are anything but cutting edge in their willingness to learn and mind set- there are good and bad in all groups.

The article is badly worded and uses some incorrect examples but you would be a far better Rovers supporter if you could open your mind to the possibility that the best run club in the Premier League has been reduced in two months to a shambles. We should all be unbelievably grateful for what John Williams is doing to keep a semblance of professionalism and sanity going.

First off did I say anything about you being racially motivated? No. I would be more concerned that you were so eager to defend yourself. Again I'm not inciting that any particular person is a racist or whatever. I don't know you.

The article uses some incorrect examples does it? It's only bloody 250 words long, it's not like there are a couple of things wrong in a big long essay.

What I believe about the running of our club in the past, present or future has nothing to do with it. The article is absolute rubbish based on sensationalist innacuracies, if you can't see that then that tells me everything I need to know about your opinions on the subject. Either reply to what I've actually posted or don't bother at all.

What about:

1. Bought a striker in on loan with a view to buy, roque Santa cruz (non SEM/kentaro)

2. Bought in a midfielder on loan with a view to buying, jermaine jones (non SEM/kentaro)

If you must chug out the same @#/? day in day out at least paint the whole picture.

No-one is concerned about the players JA hasn't recommended, so what exactly does this post prove?

I would have thought it points out that JA is not calling all the shots on transfers, would you disagree?

Exactly but that doesn't fit the agenda.

If Jones were a Kentaro client there would be more screaming from some but because he isn't he is just ignored largely.

Those two had not been signed at the time of the post - if you had bothered to look.

You're also missing the point about Kentaro/SEM and its influence on the club.

But I expect you find that difficult to grasp.
