[Archived] Venky's willing to sell?

[rovers11]

It just goes from ###### to shiter!! Next we will be told that we bought oilseed with the Phil Jones money rather than new players.

Carnage and more carnage.

Heard the parliament debate on radio earlier.At last our plight gets a decent platform and we must all hope it goes somewhere from here and not just fizzle out.

Investors are starting to doubt Venky's management. Their core businesses profits are falling, they have made a complete mess of rovers (and are receiving bad pr because of it) and many are expressing concerns over their plans to open up xpress stores (they dont think they will be able to compete on a significant level with similar outlets).

Investors were concerned when venkys bought rovers and felt company profits would be invested into rovers rather than lining their pockets and didnt see what value owning a football club would have. Mrs D settled these fears by assuring them that little or no company profits would be invested in rovers and the club would essentially run on its own means whilst giving venkys a vehicle to gain greater brand awareness globally.

Fast forward, and the club makes a massive loss and generates bad publicity for the brand. The complete opposite to what was promised to shareholders when they bought the club. Accompany this with falling profits in their core chicken business, a falling share price and mrs d due in court, things are not looking rosy from a shareholders point of view.

If the club get relegated, I struggle to see how they can justify to their shareholders keeping hold of the club (esp when it is going to need Venky money to keep it going). If I was an investor, I'd be putting pressure on to sell the club so that there wasnt even the slightest risk my dividend was eaten up by a football club.

Where the odious Indians here today.?

There were people in Jacks box who looked to, how can I put it, have a very good suntan.

It wouldn't be the owners themselves. Could have been their representatives. Or perhaps Vineeth and friends.

One thing we commented on today was the lack of people in the bbe boxes where we are . We couldn't see the past the halfway point but up to where we could see there wasn't ONE person in the boxes and that venkys speaks clucking volumes!

[Stuart]

Who was the guy in the white shirt and tie going mental after the first goal?

He was acting like he'd put his mortgage on Yak to score first.

EDIT: Perhaps should have mentioned that he was in the directors seats on the half way line and retreated inside after his outburst.

I have just read this on the BRAG facebook page

The Action Groups committee has provisionally agreed a meeting with Chief Executive of Blackburn Rovers which will happen before the next home game, whilst the group is heavily involved in a potential takeover bid being led by Wayne Wild, this is in full conjunction with the Action Group.

The progress in the last 72 hours has been immense and for the first time the appears to be light at the end of the tunnel, together we stand - divided we fall

Personally , I can see Mrs Desai just wanting to get rid ...She has enough problems ..

Not surprising in the least if true I thought for a while this may end up being the outcome or the Ian's.

Anyone has to be an improvement at this point

Did I just read this right?

The `plan` is for 16000 people to pay £140 per month over a 3 year period?

In the middle of one of the worst recessions seen in decades?

In one of the poorest areas in England?

As much as I would love for this to work there isn`t a cat in hell`s chance of reaching half that figure!
