MEETING...Desai told Kean they were hopeful of 'sorting' something regarding finances and would keep him informed #Rovers

41 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply

I had heard that a new credit line has been secured

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

MEETING...As reported in other places Kean took Nelson with him as a spokesman for the team, no doubt Kean feared for his job too

Makes sense but I had not heard this reasoning before

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

KALINIC...reason is Kean was under impression he'd get the money to spend so was happy to move him on #Rovers

KALINIC...was told he could go. Then told he had to stay without being given a reason, resulted in him refusing to board plane #Rovers

KALINIC...Club decided not to sell YET as bank would just swallow money and hopeful of getting an agreement with bank first #Rovers

Stacks up

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

MONEY...as it stands transfer budget is £0. All is on hold as they await decision from banks #Rovers

I had heard the Phil Jones plus £10m budget has just been restored but if there is no new bank credit in place, it will not have been.

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

BROTHERS...Desai got an agent to present 'cheap' marquee signings to try and regain their interest #Rovers

This conflicts with what I had heard- Venkatesh might well have lost interest but Balaji is an on-going problem for any sort of sensible or rational way forward.

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

BROTHERS...Balaji liked the sound of Raul and said he would personally fund transfer. Approach made. #Rovers

Agreed

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

SUMMARY....as it stands ALL incomings on hold until bank situation sorted. #Rovers

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

BROTHERS...once it was looked into there was no way of depositing funds needed for ANY transfers without the bank claiming it #Rovers

Makes sense if Barclays are waiting for their money and have no security

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

BROTHERS...they were the men who would provide money for transfers. Have lost interest #Rovers

SUMMARY 2...Desai has lawyers looking into best way to sort finances #Rovers

We are in deepest trouble if this is true. If the lawyers are involved this may well not get resolved before 1 September.

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

SUMMARY 3...Desai cares about the club/investment and is keen to get key figures in place so she is not as hands on #Rovers

I don't know if this is true- it goes counter to everything that has happened in the last 8 months

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

SALE...Desai will not want to be running the club without support of her brothers. Longer they keep the club the more they'll lose #Rovers

RELEGATION...has to be a REAL possibility with departures already happened. Potentially more and no chance of replacing them #Rovers

42 minutes ago

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

SUMMARY 4...club FAR more unstable than with trust and have LESS money available, I can only see two real outcomes over the year #Rovers

Depressingly true but Mr and Mrs D want out and Balaji won't let go.

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

VENKYS...when they were 'sold' the club the pitch was basically this... #Rovers

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

2...One time premier league champions, unlikely to get relegated. #Rovers

1...Stable club, low debt. #Rovers

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

6...Club would also be worth far more so money put in would be an investment #Rovers

38 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

5...Club would generate more income from CL, India and local area #Rovers

38 minutes ago

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

4...Spend around £10m of your own money to keep that going per year #Rovers

38 minutes ago

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

3...Spend £40-£50m on 'top' players and turn into Champions League team. #Rovers

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

7...Anderson's contacts meant players would come in cheap/loan. Move on and make money. The conveyor belt then starts again #Rovers

Anderson is the key name in all that- he sold them a pup he could make money out of them and coached the brothers how to blag the Trust, Rothschilds and the Premier League.

roversinsider Blackburn Rovers Spy

TOP PLAYERS...dont want to come to Blackburn, brothers then got bored. Promise of money for fees no longer there. #Rovers

TOP PLAYERS...someone neglected to say e.g. £15m fee is only beginning, signing on/agents fees etc meaning millions more than plan #Rovers

PROBLEM...'setting up' costs were far higher than they thought #Rovers

Agreed- the Raos were off the planet on the naivete scales (and still are)

The Roversinder stuff stacks up with what we can see from the outside.

And if true, Venkys are not the only party to blame. Step forward the charlatans at Kentaro, and the Trust for selling the club to our new owners.

And around 16,000 poor souls have paid up to cheer on the team they cherish. Poor souls.

There needs to be a protest at the first game if no players are signed and the owners fail to get a grip on the situation.

Again, another lie - some of us are aware of the current panic behind the scenes and whilst not problems, it is certainly financial mismanagement.

Really is a circus, I would love anyone to try and tell me otherwise. Only positive thing I can take is that Venkys are trying to sort it all out,,,,,I await with baited breath.

Just read all that on twitter so thanks Philip, That's it I have had enough now so miffed off (I won't say that word), 12;00pm the pub opens, me and mi lad going to have at least half a dozen maybe more and tonight it may all be better, suggest you all do the same :rolleyes: :rolleyes: and I thought these Indian people were honourable.

I really believe venkys are good people and want what's best for rovers but they just haven't got a clue how to go about it. Hopefully they are learning and realised the mistakes they've made . The time to judge will no doubt be on 1st of sept

Why?

Will a couple of signings convince you they know what they're doing? It will take a lot more for me Ripley.

If to be believed, its quite a good article, but to be honest, they really need to start backing up their claims about money before the season starts.

if the interview is true and honest, it explains alot about him directly addressing the rumour mill which is currently in overdrive and hostile towards Venkys.

good for them for giving an interview, its a small step in the right direction, they just need to continue to traverse that path with some signings that actively improve the team, and not just supplement the existing team

I find Venkys quite ignorant and patronising personally - if they start making normal/decent decisions I might start showing them some respect.

Agreed. Regardless of it being our first game a protest of some sort must take place against the way our club is being run (post match) if we're still to see stability and any signings. It isn't against the players and I'm sure they'll realise that. Heck I'd bet they'd join in if there wasn't a game to play.

I am a stooge for thinking Ellen Ripley ahead of Stuart Ripley. I also happen to be a science-fiction horror fan, which is why the first Ripley that popped into my mind was Ellen Ripley instead. But since I'm a stooge who can't even supposedly remember the name of legendary football players, I don't deserve to be a Blackburn fan. I understand, I get the message.

I have also proved that I am not a fan by supposedly defending Venkys.

Oh dear... I read your question and instantly thought "rumbled!"

ANY true Rovers fan would know it's a reference to Stuart Ripley and not a science fiction reference on a Rovers message board. If we were on a different board then I'd say you received a harsh reaction. Or perhaps even if it was a bit more obscure like "Richard Brown's Love Child"... Even "Roy Wegerley's Love Child" and you asked where that came from. But Ripley is pretty obvious so you can't blame people for thinking you're totally clueless. Even if you are a sci-fi fan. I like the Aliens films too but if I saw a reference to Ripley on a BR forum I wouldn't instantly think that they mean Sigourney Weaver!

And you're leaving because you've been rumbled, not because you've taken offense. Perhaps not as a Venky's stooge, but you have certainly been found out as not being a Rovers fan.

"Rao has also refuted those rumours, adding: "Money is not a problem, the problem is miscommunication and the rumours have led to this situation, for which I am very sorry."

If that's the case why the heck didn't they come out and explain, when the rumours started spreading?

I don't know whether to give a sigh of relief, worry that these people are still in charge, or not believe anything at all that they say.

Boy who cried wolf syndrome kicking in.

This is Ali Merchant's busiiness home page

As you gasp in awe at its amazing sophistication, remember this is a marketing company.

League 2 is perhaps too sophisticated and big ticket for this guy's level.

If there's any more proof needed that Venky's are trying to do things on the (very) cheap, then this is it.
