[Archived] Rumour: Venky's To Sell?

[Black Burn]

Another update from glen9mullan:

Just thought i'd re-post this,

As I have said all along and Christ its hard to stay focused when you keep reading or hearing things which contradict your understanding

Rovers have cash

Rovers have cash

Rovers have cash

Rovers have cash

Yes they have not authorised releasing any YET for signings but it is there and like we said when all the rumours came out about banks ect

We stood by our stance

Rovers have cash

Rovers have cash

Rovers have cash

We also told you that you will read some positive spin today, (I do believe people are now reading this positive spin and going on every word and now questioning every source possible to if they are correct or not)

Yes there has been fights in the playground and fights are still occurring, People are being instrcuted on what tbhey can or can't say

The stuff that has been written has substance,

Things like we will sell more player?

Things like the Manager could be set to go?

ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT

However

Rovers have cash

Rovers have cash

Rovers have cash

Meaning we aint in financial ruin and we have told you this until blue in the face, however this does not mean they will stick to their original plans.

All I can be certain off, is

1.If we want to have a proper crack at this window, the funds are there to do so.

2. As I have already said on numerous occassions Rovers have been making bids for players and sizeable ones, For one reason or another they have hit brick walls, or got cold feet, but I also told you that bids were still active on some key players.

3. The Bank issue has never been a real issue and has been blown out of proportion by those who wish to do harm to the club.

4.The in house fighting has continued throughout the window and now needs to stop, either a decision is made or we move on with point 1

Read things properly and seperate RUMOUR, OPINION, ITS BEING REPORTED, I HAVE READ, MY SOURCE HAS TOLD ME,

we write on here like every other fan and we have our opinions of what we think should happen or what we think they should do and we share our opinions like you share yours

However if we get information we then tell you!!!

I don't need PM'S or DM'S saying you said this or you said that, Cause what you are saying to me shows you have not seperated opinion from what I have been told my my club source.

PAUSE PAUSE While I have another ROVERSFANBEN Moment

Ok back now

I will remain positive on my stance that this has potential to be the best window ever and September the 1st will answer that question on eway or another, We STILL have the largest transfer kitty available to us ever in one window, This is what I was TOLD , this is what I BELIEVE, and this is where I'm at until PROVED otherwise.

Things about Kean's future is a seperate entity and one which could go either way, People make a decision then change their mind then change it again and again, I have no control over any of that and can't concrete the goal post in the ground for them. What the plan was yesterday may change today then change again tomorrow.

People want upto date news, however it becomes obsolete by the hour this is why you should read post properly and not skim read and take an opinion as FACT,

Please be patient we are trying to give you an insight and some things can look very worrying but you need to all take a long deep breath, Certain things fall off track but by no means are they unrepairable.

Thats enough from me for now, as they may appear as another essay when I press that submit button in a few seconds.

Yes my friend - affiliations - these are the influences that necessarily colour the style and content of your published work. I don't particularly care whether you are a plant, but anyone can see you have an agenda. Having admitted that you are a journalist, I feel it is only fair that you give us ordinary mortals the benefit of the chance to read your words printed in open fora outside of this. After all, our other 'pet journalist', often gives us the skinny a few hours ahead of his own rag's printed publication.

So, are you an honest hack (an oxymoron, I know), or are you just a dishonest and mischevious tittle tattler? Time you put up, or shut up, I think!

YOUVE LOST IT IRISH! go and have a lie down.. youre thinking far too deeply!

your tone is either arrogant or agressive not sure which

if you dont believe im genuine.. come out and say it! believe what you like.. but for me to almost unmask myself and my PUBLICATIONS!! is ever so risky.. dont you think ??

im a rovers fanatic. season ticket since i was 3! coming up for 29 years.

[BangkokRover]

Here we go.

[67splitscreen]

You are number 2 only of the 28 groups that make Mrs D:

28 India-based companies in the VH Group

Much easier just to post the source.

My link

PS do we have to do this all over again and again.

I know someone else started it.

[Hughesy]

As I said yesterday they are still not listed in Forbes.

Why have you got a hard-on for the Forbes list?

Even Philip who hates everything venkys has said in the past - not everyone is on the forbes list, he also admitted that they were indeed billionaires.

[BangkokRover]

8: Srivenk Investments Pvt: another investment firm, taking stakes in diverse new ventures, including in Lavasa, a planned new ‘green’ city in the hills between Pune and Mumbai. The Rao family were early (independent) investors but the project is experiencing problems over planning and controversy about land acquisition. The project is not a Rao venture, just one of several they have invested in via Srivenk. Fascinating fact: Lavasa is scheduled to be home to a Nick Faldo golf course, a hockey academy, a Steve Redgrave rowing academy, and a Manchester City football academy. City hope to be the first English club with a permanent India academy facility, but with Lavasa’s schedule now uncertain, Blackburn (who plan their own academy in Pune) could beat City to the punch.

Sounds like our owners

Why do you think their personal wealth is any refection on what they will do with Rovers?

Take no notice Zac and don`t bite - it makes no difference if people believe you or not, you will not please all, nor do you need to defend yourself if challenged, its a message board, if your the "real" deal then it is welcomed and if not, then your still entitled to stir the pot - either way we will never really know so take no notice

[Wild Irish Rover]

Only a fool parts with his money easily.

err DUH.. they bought an English Premier League club. Perhaps they thought (or were advised) that it was self financing?

Like to find the quote on that?

I think it is patently obvious they are not billionaires.

Lavasa is one heck of a mess.

Publications my arse. You can't even spell aggressive correctly.

Now, I'll have a well earned lie down, whilst you get back to school and do your 3 Rs again, but properly this time.

[thenodrog]

To all the people yesterday insisting to me Venkys don't have any money or are not "that" well off. wikipedia claim they are worth 650 million but I thought it was more, here is where I originally got my impression they were billionaires (asset value at least).

"Describing Venky’s owners as chicken farmers is like saying Walker had a scrap metal yard. Walker, a steel magnate, was one of Britain’s richest 30 men when he died in 2000, with a fortune estimated at £600m.

The Rao family are worth three times more and their business is riding the crest of the Indian economic boom. The VH Group consists of 28 companies in India with a collective turnover in 2010 of close to £1bn and group profits of about £100m. Growth is forecast at 15 per cent per year. There are no external partners and no debt. Acquisitions, including Blackburn Rovers and a new £130m vaccine plant in Switzerland, are made in cash.

The company are not listed but could fetch about £1.5bn if sold, although that is not on the cards. With an extensive property portfolio, the family are probably worth £2bn, perhaps more. Demonstrably they have money to invest where they see fit."

You'd best get straight on the blower to Barclays then.

Hello Barclays, I heard four rumours yesterday I would like you to tell me if any of them are true?

1) Blackburn need to sell Keith Andrews to raise cash, I know your not directly involved but do you think its true?

2) These billionaires who own a club with little debt not like Man U 600 million debt, well they owe you 16 million and they have lost their wallet which has the 16-18 million in it, is this true?

3) Yesterday Steve Kean was sacked in the morning can you confirm this at all?

4) Elivis is not dead can you confirm if this is true?

[A cup of beans]

Publications my arse. You can't even spell aggressive correctly.

Now, I'll have a well earned lie down, whilst you get back to school and do your 3 Rs again, but properly this time.

So based on a spelling mistake.. I’m not a journalist >> ?? You do know I’m working at the same time

Your argument is laughable, Irish!

Sleep tight. Dream up more conspiracy theories.

[Mattyblue]

In all seriousness zac, your spelling and grammar is not of the standard you would expect for a 'journalist'.

Unless of course you are a broadcast journo... Tony Livesey?

I can confirm number 4 is true

again.. you should know that im doing a million things at once.

anyway, it gives my brain a rest.. i write quick when i post on here! think of it like a painter given the chance to do some 'painting by numbers.'

maybe i should hand my degree back ??

[UtopianParadigm]

maybe i should hand my degree back ??

I'd certainly have a think about it.

Post a link to something you have had published, I would love to read it.

How do they install emoticons in a newspaper?

[chris]

I can confirm number 4 is true

sorry, he just looked like him:

[blue/white]

Just to clarify, is "Black Burn" Balaji or Venkatesh ?

Cant believe anybody has assumed Venkys started this well.

Probably neither. Just a company employee that's overdosed on the

company 'mango lassie'.

[philipl]

As I said yesterday they are still not listed in Forbes.

And they only own 54% of Venky's India- the largest company in the group I believe. Quite a few of those 28 are non-trading by the way and at least one is a bit of an embarassment.

[PAFELL]

Someone told me Mrs. Desai will be assuming the chairman - or chairwoman role herself.

Effectively she herself is John Williams's replacement.

Is she moving to Blackburn or even Lancashire then. If not, they may as well put in as chairman, sure I could screw the job up just as well as them.

[Black Burn]

Probably neither. Just a company employee that's overdosed on the

company 'mango lassie'.

I am not a company employee. I take it you didn't even read my response to that post. I already said "doing well" was just a manner of speaking and was referring to the time where nicko believed we had a 50 million budget, drawing lists of players, identifying talented players and aiming for them.

I didn't even make any statement defending Venkys and I still get labeled as a Venkys employee.

FFS...

[A cup of beans]

Probably neither. Just a company employee that's overdosed on the

that made me fall off my chair laughing!

hey.. dont knock mango lassie! more calories than any other drink, but still! its awesome!
