Jesus Christ! Could the timing of all this be any worse

[BuckyRover]

Can anyone shed any light on this?

[HemelRover]

Oh crap

[chris]

Omen

[BuckyRover]

This was when the Trust and Sam were in charge no?

[brfcmad1979]

for fecks sake

[RibbleValleyRover]

Bloody Hell!

[DE.]

Oh my.

[Mercer]

You begin to get the feeling that we really are swimming against the tide.

Kean drink / driving allegation, now this.

Some strong leadership and communication is needed from Ewood tomorrow.

This was when the Trust and Sam were in charge no?

It would have been, yeah.

Jesus, it never rains around here - it pours.

Has anyone seen the article?

I assume not.

[Presty On Tour]

Oh God damn it!

[Mercer]

Philipl has talked about grotty news yet to come out. Is this it, part of it or is there more to come ?

[deryck guyler's spoon]

This was when the Trust and Sam were in charge no?

If it was when he joined then yes. Poor Phillip, he would have got raging wood only to suffer a collapse akin to walking in on The Duchess of Cornwall curling one out.

In all seriousness, this and Kean's drink driving point to dark portents given the weekend we have coming up.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Has anyone seen the article?

I assume not.

Would have to see the detail but it doesn't look good. The media are bound to cover this tomorrow when it's on the front of the UK's biggest selling newspaper.

FA investigating FFS.

[BuckyRover]

Who the **** sanctioned this?

I'm now very, very glad QPR didn't get a points deduction.

I doubt this will reflect on the final standings come Sunday afternoon. Even if there has been something dodgy going on, fortunately, we will not have to see the consequences by Sunday evening and in that case, we've been rather fortunate.

Let's not jump to a mass frenzy for now though, all sorts of allegations are made by the press, let's just wait and see what's been alleged and see how those in defence of the system, react to those allegations.

There's a few questions that need to be asked:

Who made the payment to the middleman? The selling club, the buying club or someone else (eg an agent)?

If the manager wasn't the one who made the payment, was he fully aware of what went on?

What will be the consequences for Blackburn Rovers?

As long as we don't get docked points, then ultimately this episode should be a harmless one to Rovers since if the last manager was implicated, he isn't around anymore so it's not like him getting a ban from the FA would make a difference to us.

But the first two questions will be of interest.

Can't be fleeced for something the old owners done

[tony gale's mic]

Philipl has talked about grotty news yet to come out. Is this it, part of it or is there more to come ?

I'm pretty sure if he said that he won't have been referring to this, but he'll pretend he was.

[BuckyRover]

It's not like Sam to get involved in things like this.

We will have to wait and see.

[American Rover12]

Can some one clarify the term for us? Is it implying Givet threw a game?

[Mercer]

Can't be fleeced for something the old owners done

Oh yes you can, remember what happened @ WHAM ?

[BuckyRover]

I hope Venky's kept their receipt.
