[Archived] QATAR group bid for Rovers

[Mullionvagrant]

Do it!!! I'd rather the club have to fight up than it be slowly dragged down.......

its only a matter of time before roversinsider needs his ego trip and posts it as another exclusive LOL

[Kelbo]

Whats the deal with all of the fans in the know not breaking the dirt they have? Surely now is the perfect time to stand up and make some noise?

Someone mentioned Jack Straw, he is the key component to this, he is the one who could bugger them!!

[Clitherover]

Not a day for laughs but it did amuse me that Glen got another name today from 786 again this time Glen Muller.

What a yoghurt top!

Quality.

I'm sure I saw Glen Moolah in one of his posts t'other day.

[HemelRover]

It might be time to dish the dirt. But not on here please.

has anyone been in touch with him ?

[Billy Castell]

I apologise for being one of those ITKs who cannot say, but I did promise not to say anything. This is a new situation to me, and if I didn't say I'd keep quiet, I'd be right up there on facebook etc. and to hell with the consequences.

[BangkokRover]

has anyone been in touch with him ?

I am sure that someone in a thread that they had written to him but for the life of me I can't remember which thread it was in or if the board member ever got a reply

[philipl]

There is nothing alleged about the bid. It is completely for real.

Let me repost:

With regards, to one of the most egregriously bad stories about Venky's doing the rounds, I have known about it since Jan/Feb and it is so smelly there is no way it could appear on here and so I've not posted it.

At least four UK national papers know about it but they cannot publish it in the absence of better evidence so for sure BRFCS cannot carry it.

The funny thing is, I spoke with a representative of Mrs D who brought it up, told me the story then berated me telling me it was not true. I pointed out to him that he was telling me the story and I had not posted anything of what he was telling me.

It turns out the other two things he was desperately kean to deny have subsequently turned out to be true and he was wrong... one was about finances and lack of borrowings.

I guess Venky's are beginning to get the message that this place and the Blackburn Rovers support generally will explode if they let this opportunity to make a decent sized profit out of their failing Rovers adventure pass them by.

I don't hold out much hope and I think Glenn will need to have to watch this website very carefully if/when bad news is confirmed tomorrow but for now the fat lady has stopped preparing to sing and has gone for a jog round the block.

[ABBEY]

I feel sick.

go n chuck up in the bog dont do it here!!

[Pedro]

if what pedro says is right surely now is the time to expose the dirty on venkys and co to force there hand

It is only an opinion of how I'd play it out, I don't have any connections to the club or anything.

Agreed that it is time to turn the screw though.

One man that I know who has been speaking louder and louder is Gordon Taylor

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The figures which Qatari's are prepared to offer are HUGE, but will now walkaway to another club because simply Venky's don't want to sell.

A lot of hardwork has gone into this over the last 2 weeks, but unfortunately it has come to nothing. We had the chance of being part of something very special but now feel drained, empty and devastated that this deal couldn't be pulled of.

Will go into more detail in the podcast.

So we are left with owners who cant afford to compete,a 'manager' who is hated and a club heading for relegation.

Happy Xmas to us all

[Billy Castell]

Right, so the Qataris have been turned down definitively then? What about the other interested parties? And how imminent is the ___ hitting the fan about the funny business?

Do the bad stories involve football or something outside of football?

[USABlue]

agreed. all happened too quickly if parties are truly interested then decisions like this aren't made over a 2 week period...there's a lot more to this than we know.

WHY won't they sell? It just doesn't add up-a profit can be made which can be pumped into grass root indian football isn't that what their true vision is to further the development of indian sport as a global showcase for venky's. i don't understand the Kentaro angle on this either.

Sure they are if you have hard cash in hand. You know the saying money talks bS walks. Well they are walking, with the money. No need to fart around if you have the money and know what you want.

Sorry not going to play 20 Questions.

It simply cannot be posted on here.

No problem, worth a try I guess. Thanks for all of the information you have provided recently, it is appreciated.

[T4E]

Nicko has just said he's got a story in tomorrows paper about the Qatari bid.

[BangkokRover]

Is this information in the hands of people who can do something about it?

Pieced together from everything said here and on twitter today no doubt

PM??? Pretty please with sugar on top.

Anyone else getting the nasty feeling that Kean will try to come out of this as a victim of Venky's? Dare he try to spin it that way.

[BangkokRover]

What will be the outcome of this bad news?

Trouble for Rovers as a club or just more bad PR for the Venkys?
