[Archived] QATAR group bid for Rovers

[BPF]

Just a thought - how can Venky's go on as owners of Rovers and get the fans on side and trusting them when we know that two of them would happily sell us? Especially when Mrs D is the key decision maker and she wants out.

I was told that she wanted out a long time ago. Within months of assuming control.

[Tom]

He left because you didnt go to support him, you parochial manchild.

Oi I'm working here

In his defence he says he will be back when someone joined him it just tickled me as I was picturing Homer Simpson strapped to his deckhair outside the Isotope stadium but he got bored and left. If I was embarking on a sit in protest I would consider boredom may be a factor.

It's a bit like me saying 'I'm going to punch that guy' then I swagger over then run away cause he was actually quite big.

[BPF]

Makes zip sense to me.

So all three or four have to agree.

Three of them say "we want to sell".

Balaji says "No. I want to keep going, making it a big club"

The three others they say "Ok, but we will not spend money on the project"

Balaji then says "ok. As long as we don't sell, I don't care"

Then when it comes time to decide how much money to spend on Rovers, Three of them will say "Nothing".

So they ALL lose. I can't for the life of me think that is how it works.

This exact situation has happened before with another of Balaji's projects. I'm not sure of the specifics but I believe people on here might..

Me neither , but I cannot work out why they want BRFC in the 1st place ...

If that's the case, how has neither HE or the others learned? Baffled!

[Steve Moss]

B [...] says "No. I want to keep going, making it a big club"

The three others they say "Ok, but we will not spend money on the project"

B [...] then says "ok. As long as we don't sell, I don't care"

Then when it comes time to decide how much money to spend on . . . [the club], Three of them will say "Nothing".

So they ALL lose. I can't for the life of me think that is how it works.

Based on this, I'm guessing that B is the wild child, the spoiled brat of the family? Is he the youngest? Is his sister now assuming the mother role, giving good advice which is ignored and protecting him from the consequences of his actions?

[J*B]

I was told that she wanted out a long time ago. Within months of assuming control.

I'm not even sure she's ever even wanted to be in...

[arbitro]

If Balaji is the real obstacle here how come Venkatesh is quoted on the link as saying they don't want to sell? Something isn't right about all of this.

Just out of curiosity if Kamy and Philipl both knew and set this up a long time ago why was Glen not told the circumstance's and to aim the protests at Venky's instead of Kean?

If this had been done it may well have had an different outcome, dont get me wrong I think you both have done really well but I think Venky's do really belive we support them in what they are doing because that is what they are told by SK and JA, they should have known about fan unrest aimed at them earlier if this was to suceed.

You mean the kid that keeps getting his toys taken off him?

Possibly.

Do you think someone reminded him of this knowing his history and managed to change his mindset from sell to keep?

Probably.

Glen was told things as the protests progressed.

The switch to Venkys Out protests seems to have more than likely happened as and when he knew the bigger picture. To start with it was a protest against a terrible manager. As he got more ITK he soon realised the gravity of the situation and moved the goal posts without revealing anything too much about the situation.

that's how I understand it anyway.

As for V being the one making the statement, they have to show unity in the public eye. The overall decision was no, no matter who had the deciding vote, and V is the "nice guy" out of the three so probably the one best to make a statement. Especially as B and D were the ones having the raging barney over it.

You are bloody right there ..Something is not right about a lot of things at BRFC.

[paullarrygher]

Nixon maintains that it is a 2-2 split. Mr and Mrs D versus Balaji and Venkatesh. Venkatesh choosing to side with his brother but I'm unsure of the reason for this. Balaji is the key piece in all of this as it is his conviction that is persuading his brother seemingly and not vice versa. Turn Balaji and Venkatesh will follow suit.

[hawkiiz]

Why can't Venky's sell the whole dang club to Balaji then?

[Steve Moss]

Nicko saying it is B and V who don't want to sell. Both Ds do. So it is a 2 v 2 split, not 3 v 1.

He's also doing a good job on casting doubt on the veracity of the [alleged] shady dealings aspect of this mess. In my opinion following reading his twitter, he either: 1) is right; or, 2) has another axe to grind. Which is it?

Balaji the same guy who said he would buy Beckham and Ronaldinho?

He is 100% spot on.

[Torgeir]

Give Balaji Malaga ffs. It's beyond me why they refused to sell after what they have/haven't done the past year.

If Venky's are serious about their ownership they need to start taking day-to-day responsibilities.

1. Replace Kean.

2. Install a working backroom staff.

3. INVEST money in squad.

4. Sack Jerome Anderson.

The panel of four consists of conflicting personalities - how can they ever agree on anything?

I'd say he has another axe to grind.

Unless philip/glen et al are actually pawns in an even BIGGER conspiracy theory

Nicko's tweets are basically saying no, there were no dodgy dealings, there's actually something even more sinister going on in the background that someone is organising and using fans. Denying one set of rumours but at the same time starting more.

Don't trust him.

[den]

Great that we're reduced to family differences deciding our future.

Oh trustees, what have you done?

[deftangel]

If Balaji is so manipulable and stubborn enough to make a go of it, can we not get him over here and show him how doomed his current path is and talk him round into making some changes?

If it took *four* hours for JA to turn him around he can't be 100% sure of his gospel, surely?

Its only a matter of time now before someone starts blaming the masons then the Jews.

JA reminded him that Myles is the next Chris Smalling, so think of all the cash that can be made selling him

[BuckyRover]

I curse the day that the trust appointed JA

Considering that his information conflicts with those people who were actually personally involved in the deal.....what brings you to think this?
