[Archived] Mrs D facing criminal charges

[Kelbo]

M.G. Road, please can you give us details of what newspapers / media the Rao's use, and in your opinion is this a good route for Rovers fans of gettng their points across?

In my opinion, the whole of Asia is renowned for a few bob in the back pocket and things get swept under the carpet

Just so that everybody is clear before they start believing all of this:

Its very, very easy to have your IP placed statically in Pune while you visit the forum. I genuinely believe ABBEY could do it given the right steps.

. . .

Now unless one of these two tasks is complete, id be very careful what you believe. None of them compromise his/her position. None of them take more than 30 minutes of his/her time.

I have a somewhat different take. Either:

1) he is legitimate. This means we've opened dialogue with a mid-level Venkys' employee, which isn't enough but is more than we had a few weeks ago; or,

2) he isn't. That means he's fooled me, wasted my time and caused me some small amount of embarassment. On the other hand, if there is a chance that it helps gets the message to our owners, I think we should take it and not worry about the risk of a small amount of personal embarassment and wasted time. I'm a working, married, father of two. My personal ego went out the door years ago.

I was standing less than 10ft away when he said it. I tried to clarify what happened at the game on another thread but couldn’t post for some reason.

I'm quite prepared to believe you are posting from Pune, maybe even from inside the Venkys head office. However I'm also inlined to think this is an attempt by the Raos to either feed information to the support unofficially (unlikely given the last 12 months) or it's a disinformation campaign.

If you were "10 feet away" when Balaji said this I'm surprised a "mid-level staffer" (your words) was on the trip to Wigan. Being in such close proximity places you far higher than middle management.

Venky’s have no idea I’m posting this. Unfortunately I can’t prove it though.

Given the above, plus we are told Venkys employ someone to monitor message boards, I suggest they are very aware you are posting this.

There's more than 500 people working in this office. Good luck to anybody trying to single out any one computer.

There may be 500 PCs in the head office. The ones used by those on the Wigan trip will be relatively easy to identify.

My final concern is your language use. For a foreign national it is quite superb suggesting you have either an excellent education or spent a considerable period in the UK, or both.

Sorry to be a cynic but this is all stuff you have stated.

Yep. Just found out how to do it. There appear to be plenty of software packages available to either disguise or place your ip elsewhere.

Also googled instructions on how to do it myself. Though I accept it may not be quite the same thing.

He could be genuine, he could be on a wind up. Either way I don't really care to be honest.

After 12 months of propaganda, lies, ridiculous transfer speculation and appalling results, whatever they say matters not a jot.

Venkys will be judged on their actions. To date they have been negligent at the very best. We’re odds on with all the bookmakers in this country for relegation. One thing that is for sure, continue to employ Comical Kean and we will be relegated.

Everything that goes with that doesn't bear thinking about for a club of our stature. They don't even attend matches so why should they care what happens to us following relegation? They haven’t shown that they care to date have they? Will they bank roll us to stay afloat?

So spin away Mr Road but actions speak louder than words and the actions of your employers to date have been an utter disgrace to the history of the club, it’s supporters, employees and the Town as a whole. They have jeopardised the clubs future and have failed on nigh on every level.

[donnermeat]

Paul beat me to it, it just came to me at work AMD had to stop what I was doing just to post--why would you admit to being within 10ft of Balaji if you don't want to be identified?? Surely that could only be a handful of people, therefore make you easily identified.

The game is up.

[booth]

To be fair, he doesn't need to do anything. He could just stop posting if he wishes.

Ste B seems certain he's genuine but people are ignoring that for some reason.

He could but until he proves otherwise some people will think he's just another wind up merchant like the rodent guy - just better at it.

Ste B believes him to be genuine but as has been said these things can be fiddled.

Why would a mid/upper level management bod be invited all expenses paid to watch the Wigan match with the owners? That bit doesn't make sense. And I believe Kamy, Philip and Nicko (and a few others who I knew offline close to Ewood) that there was interest from the Qatari's. So why say there was no contact whatsoever when there quite obviously was.

But as Bob F has said it doesn't really matter. Venkys have been terrible owners in the last twelve months and whether MG is the real deal or not, nothing is going to change that.

If he is real, I will reiterate what someone else has said above. We do not want an agent running the club. There was nothing wrong with John Williams, Tom Finn, etc. They were running the club perfectly well. That was for me, the biggest mistake Venky's made when they took over. And it's a mistake not easily sorted out.

I've had a couple of things confirmed, so as sure as I can be that this user is genuine. Its not right to try and press for any more public information.

Fair enough and with the Qatari thing he did admit he may have been left out of the loop. If he is that high up he's making trips over here with Balaji though I just don't see how he couldn't have even had a sniff. That's all and stranger things have happened.

[Jackson]

Dear MG.Road,

Please print out the "Steve Kean Out" voting bar graph, with figures (you'll find it on the "Steve Kean" thread).

And place it on Barry's desk. Or pin it to the coffee machine.

Off you toddle, there's a good chap.

Jackson.

[ABBEY]

Don't give a venky if he's for real these lunes from Pune have shafted us big time and ruined what was a great club!!

If you are genuine I will tell you what I told a venky suit .... F off from our club your hated!... Is that clear enough????

I take it, nobody googled his username?

There is an M.G. Road in Pune. MG also stands for Mahatma Gandhi.

I'm 100% certain that a formal offer wasn't made to the family. Maybe to an individual, but nothing more. And that individual didn't pass the information along to the rest of the siblings.

Tempted to believe you on that. I still believe it would be a different story if the Qataris genuinely wanted Rovers.

M.G. Road - will Venky's be personally refunding every fan that went to Cardiff last night for the complete and utter disgraceful performance and remarks from Kean?

MG,

First of all, I must compliment you on your excellent use of the English Language, I dont wish you to divulge if you are or are not of Indian descent but if you are of any other race but British, I would like to point out a major cultural difference which in my opinion is the major root of all the problems Venkys face.

Firstly, especially in East Lancashire, and apologies for the bluntness here, we call a spade a ###### shoveller, which means we say what we really mean, we admire honesty, endeavour and anyone who we can see is putting a real effort in on behalf of BRFC we will support providing we are told the truth.

We have a manager and indeed owners who have told us constant lies, owners who despite telling us they would look after the traditions of the club and done exactly the opposite, today Steve Bruce, in my opinion a far superior manager than Steve Kean, has been sacked as manager of Sunderland, he did well at Wigan with little funds and was honest enough to admit his efforts and results were not good enough, unlike our own Walter Mitty, (Steve Kean) who is likened to |Mr.Micawber in the Dickens novel who despite been penniless and useless, always thought something better was round the corner.

Unfortunately now, our culture is such that a hatred of both Kean and Venkys is almost irrepairable, only the removal of Kean, Anderson and Kentaro would go some way towards repairing the damage and only then if a Chairman who understands football over here in England and an experienced manager were apointed.

I do respect you coming on here, if of course are who you say you are, and I respectfully ask that you attempt to get the message accross to the owners.

Thanks! Thats some valuable information right there!

I have a few questions for you MG-road:

-Do you think the sacking of Steve Bruce at Sunderland today will affect the Venkys' view on sacking Kean at all? Maybe they will think more through it now?

- Do the employees at Venkys talk about the Blackburn-situation at all, like at lunch and in breaks? Or is it so many other things(companies) you're involved in other than Rovers, so that Blackburn Rovers is just threated like "just one of those companies"?

Thanks for posting here, please continue to do so! Dont see it as a betrayal (dont really think it is), see it more like trying to make us understand Venkys better, if that is possible at all!

Glen has tweeted that Venkys and Mrs D may be at Ewood as we speak, rumours though.
