[Archived] Rumour: Venky's To Sell?

[Gav]

LMAO what do you expect them to say?

Be honest everyone will be shocked if season tickets are the same level as last season.

I don't care what season ticket sales are to be honest, we'll still get similar numbers through the gates, and if we don't Steb will be able to get to bar quicker

The ticket office said sale were 'slow' before deadline for renewal, no they're saying they've picked up, they don't need to say they've picked up if they haven't

[keaney23]

Just as they have denied the story does not mean they will not sell. How many times do football clubs give a manager a vote of confidence then sack him or say we are not after a player and sign them?

Show me the source where we are looking to sell then please. The only source I have about the sell is the one saying their committed and I have to take that on face value as there is nothing to suggest otherwise apart from hear say and people in "the know" teasing the board with negativity without being legally able to speak about their knowledge. Venkys did not have to say anything regarding a Internet rumor and currently this is all it is but they did and got no credit from some of the fans who was asking for them to come out with a statement. I was one of those people that wanted reassurance and I got it. I am happy with that move on and IF around the corner they are proved to be lies then more fool them not me for believe a statement. However its all an IF , If my girlfriend was my sister I wouldn't have a daughter

Must have been that Roberts hatrick that had the fans flocking to renew.

While we are talking about season tickets I do think the Rovers season ticket is cracking value for money but the way the club is run no one would be surprised if lots of people were holding off to see who we purchased.

And you would be a claret

I am also not in the know but "the people in the know" and we are not talking about one person have given us what they can. Like everyone I would love it if "the people in the know" came out with more information. But that is not going to happen, so we will wait until the Asian Tour is over and see what happens. The longer there is no sale the more this looks like a baseless rumor.

I will be very surprised if there is a significant difference between the numbers. It is still great value and would expect people to go out and buy them even during this chaotic period.

I hope you are right, I don't want to see Ewood with any empty seats either. I am just giving my opinion.

Until someone at BRFC decides to communicate with its own fans, sort out how to run our club, arrange a kit sponsor, speaks out and makes a comment on season ticket sales ten I wont be putting my hand in my pocket.

The standardised monotonic email I got from Rovers following my observations is a little indicative of a rudderless ship.

I cannot believe just how poor a show Rovers have become in 12 months.

I am absolutely devastated that the club I have adored has become nothing more than a joke. Some of our fans need a wake up call to realise just what is happening, some need to respect the views of others and some just need to read the posts on here and summise for themselves the picture that is being painted of just what a comedy show we have become.

[thenodrog]

The swastika still is on this MB- over to cleverer sleuths than me to find it.

It is in the thread which discussed the Sky documentary if I remember correctly but it might be in one of the other threads about Venky's running in December/January/February time.

But this is a minor diversion from the possibility that Rovers might be getting new owners within the next few weeks.

Lets not be hasty......

Nay news on Venkys to sell up after the Asian tour?

Andy Cryer (LT): Bangkok Rovers. Venky's have been asked if they are selling up and they have said no. We have to believe them until proof of otherwise

[thenodrog]

I am losing confidence with them on a daily basis but it would take a few signings and a good Chief Executive to steady the ship IMO.

Personally I cannot begin to imagine what gave you confidence in them in the first place. And why you behaved like the Venkeys personal PR agent I understand even less. Credit for winding your neck in a little though imy.

Very cheap but great value? After the hoofball and relegation battle, i wouldnt say there is much value in there .

[thenodrog]

You've no choice seeing as you've always been one of their biggest supporters. Fortunately from Rovers' point of view their ownership could be unravelling which for most supporters cannot come soon enough. Venky's have never lived up their many promises and show no signs of learning from their previous mistakes.

You call them promises but many would say those promises were nothing other than base lies. Try as they might I doubt even the most serious critic of the Walker Trust would find it difficult to accuse them of lying. This lot never stop.

I can understand Drog that you look at someone and then judge them, that is apparent, I don't, I gave them a chance-still do and judge them on what they do, which has been poor so far. Venkys PR agent? Winding my neck in? Unless I'm mistaken this is a MB, maybe it would work better if people like your good self learnt to respect others viewpoints. Can't teach a Drog new tricks I suppose lol.

[thenodrog]

The last few post on here have made me quite sick.

That's me for this site.

I've been here since april 1996 when Lee took over from Rob Ivison, but comparing people to Nazis!

Philip, I'm disgusted with you.

What? Dave B's done a 'Nicko!?

don't worry he'll be back before you know it.

btw Dave...... Don't be a Drama Queen, just put old Gunner on ignore. Simples.

I've been called a facist / nazi / racist etc many times but sfw? Sticks and stones is what you need to consider mate.

[thenodrog]

After you Eddie.

[RovertheHill]

So, are we getting sold to the not-so-mysterious middle eastern organisation then?

No need whilst my 'nose' is as trustworthy as ever.

I'm not infallible of course imy.. no one is, but I get much more right than I get wrong when judging folk.

[imy9]

It's your eyes that are the issue not your nose mate.

Keep posting your correct information it is interesting in a H Andersen kind of way lol.

[BangkokRover]

Come on guys cut out the bickering!!!

Didn't Cryer "ask Venky'"s about Ronaldinho and was told something which was later contradicted by Venkys.

And people wonder why people put little stck in the LT. And not just when it comes to football.

I am sure he tows the company line. Of course I have no inside info at all.

Not a chance.

Philipl is buying us, he's a billionaire you know!!!!!

[Paul]

I think almost all roles at the club are to fill a chair, keep quiet and 'toe the line'. In india giving advice or opinions to bosses is viewed as dissent!!

Mrs D stated live on Radio Lancs JW & TF could stay provided they "stayed in line". I heard this interview myself and transcribed every word on to this site in January.

The sad thing is a few people have posted everything discussed in this thread in recent months and very few took any real notice.

When fans asked for facts I posted the one incontrovertible fact of the existence of the new Barclays mortgage and the potential overspending it was required to cover. Few took this seriously and now everyone is asking why we have no cash for transfers?

JW compensation

Allardyce compensation

RSC wages

Rochina / Formica

J Jones wages

Pay rise for all senior players

Lost place money

Accumulated losses from previous seasons

Loss for year ending June 2011

All this was predicted / stated months ago and fans wonder why we don't have new players?

Blackburn Rovers are skint and Venkys lack either the balls, the finances or both to rectify the situation.

We have been shafted and a few saw it from day one.
