cheers for that, will be sending my piece

Who is Ibrahim Ismail? If it's who I think it may be his English improved.

Anyway, not at all surprised that Balaji wants to keep, he loves the glamour of football and thinks he can make a success of it rather naively, most likely (in my humble opinion) egged on all the way by a certain cockeny spiv (copyright: Wiggy)

Will he change his mind? I personally would doubt it but I always thought Mrs D is the dominant one so hopefully she gives him a chinese burn or a wedgie until he gives in.

[rebelmswar]

So is this deader than Keans post Rovers football career, or do I put the noose away for now?

Feel free to interpret whom the noose is for.

[roverandout]

he will be the most hated figure in blackburn since goodness knows who if he is the one stopping this from happening, i dont think there will be anyway back now for the venkys if they turn this down, we will probably never have an oppurtinity like this again.

I've done a bit of digging and he looks genuine. Apparently an Enconomic adviser.

Worth a shot, nothing to lose.

There's been strong words between the two of them, so I hear. Something that's apparently never happened before. So it obviously means a lot.

As for Mrs D... this isn't the first time she's signalled she wants out, I don't think.

[Pedro]

We need a game changer and the gloves need to come off quickly.

Balaji seems to be the issue and, allegedly, should the sh1t hit the fan, lots of it will fall on him.

Someone, somewhere who has the knowledge has to very quickly think how this can be used to 'influence' Balaji. Has the would be buyer got this info., could they use it, does Mrs D know, does the press know, could it be 'leaked' to the Indian media.

I think we are almost at the point where we have very little to lose as if this sale is not done, it seems we might well be doomed.

It's now or never I think and the worst possible thing in life is to look back with regret !!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, threaten/blackmail a very rich man who allegedly surrounds himself with heavies and not rights...I'll pass thanks and you should too

I think if it is a genuine offer and it is about to sail off into the sunshine, then that is an intense amount of pressure being applied...like I said in a previous post, this is the playing hardball stage.

[philipl]

So Philip/Kamy, how does Nicko's info that the Qatari's are in India talking to Venkys stack up with your info? Seem right? If they're there surely they've been given some encouragement?

There are permanent QIA offices all over the world.

[Kendalrover]

Couldn't the Qataris offer him the role of honorary life president of the club. Makes him thinks he is involved but they will be able to ignore him.

[St_Jimmy_77]

Okay I've been watching this topic for over 15 hrs today. Time for bed. Let's see what tomorrow will bring. Night all.

I'd be very careful how you word anything direct to Balaji. People with a lot of power can make other people disappear very quickly.

Why should they, the guy is clueless about football.

You'll be wasting your time, trust me they already know all of this and more.

The fact is they don't want any messing about. If Venky's don't want to sell the club, they won't force. There are alternatives and they will move onto them.

[PAFELL]

Go back to January and see what happened within 24 hours Venkatesh's previous direct quote.

Not building up hopes but there have been 12 hours since Venkatesh spoke and a lot has been going on. Still think odds are against the sale and on Balaji becoming an absolute hate figure but the fat lady is not back from her jog yet.

Why not suggest balaji buy a different club with the money they get for selling rovers. Best compromise and business sense for him.

[modes98]

Don't get your hopes up, it very very very likely that Venky's will say that club is not for sale. This will be sorted tomorrow.

Kamy, I know venky's have serious trouble with business decisions that make sense but this is a no brainer. They can make a profit from us when in a few months they will lose a massive chunk of cash. Bilaj can go and buy a yoyo or something to keep him entertained.

[Kendalrover]

Why should they, the guy is clueless about football.

My point is if he is the sticking point and the Qataris really want the club then some kind of sweetener that keeps him 'involved' with the club may persuade him to agree to the sale

[Mullionvagrant]

I personally think somebody should point out to him what the money from the sale would to to his image back home if he pumped it into football in india and built his academy with it-seriously!!!!!!!!

He could probably buy another car or so too

They'd be a lot closer to agreeing on a deal if it wasn't for tweetie pie in someone's head

[Al]

Yes I would suggest that with the benefit of hindsight they could make a better job with a different club but He's never going to buy that one because his family would never do it again. Once bitten.................

Will this do?

[2PAC 4 Blackburn]

Kammy, you seem very negative around the whole situation. I presume you know a lot more around the bid then your letting on? Is this deal def off now from what you've heard?!

[Pedro]

You do make me chuckle

[martypellowe]

You do make me chuckle

They don't call him Balaji Montana for no reason

[Kamy100]

Kammy, you seem very negative around the whole situation. I presume you know a lot more around the bid then your letting on? Is this deal def off now from what you've heard?!

It will be tomorrow morning if/when Venky's say that club is not for sale, that will be the end of it as far as Qatari's are concerned.

Dear Your Royal Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani.

The fat one likes cars, medallions, rappers, guns and food.

Provide him with plenty of the above and the club is yours, guaranteed.

Good luck,

Booth
