[Archived] Ch 4 Program Despatches and Rovers

[hollowsr]

I've been told today that in the next month or so the Venkys Ownership is going to be the focus of Dispatches on channel 4.

I've had a quick look on here but couldn't see any mention of it, is it old news or has nobody else heard about this?

Apparently going to be linked to money laundering in some way.

[SAS]

Well it can't be true, the premier league would surely be all over this long before now......

If I wanted this to be true would it make me a bad person.

Or just an idiot?

Desperate stuff!

That makes me a Bad idiot then.

[hollowsr]

Right obviously rubbish then , just thought I would check in case I had missed something

[rovers11]

I highly doubt this is true.

Don't miss my point. Not dissing you, I was being self-depreciating!

I'm just not sure how the club would be impacted.

I want Venkys to suffer for the situation we find ourselves in but don't want the club to suffer..

No didn't think you were having a dig at all, trust me if it got rid of Venkys I would be for it as long as no effects on the club of course

My biggest dream, the chuckle brothers, the stupid woman and whoever else exposed and locked up, key thrown away and all their bloody chickens poisened!!

[Rover_Shaun]

It's not the chickens fault.

No chickens have been harmed ruining this football club

Didn't see much running to be honest.

[2PAC 4 Blackburn]

Not heard of it but i think it's common knowledge that our ownership isn't squeaky clean. I look forward to it.

There HAS to be some mechanism which protects clubs if/when dodgy owners get up to whatever they get up to. It doesn't seem like there is, but there desperately needs to be. It seems inconceivable that any football club should carry the can for dodgy behaviour of owners, especially in our case when the club is already being punished by being torn apart left right and centre - if Venky's have done something naughty then why should Rovers suffer even more?

One word:

Luton

[adsfortheblues]

I have been told the same

Dispatches

This is the sound of the police....

[JAL]

How close to the truth was that conspiracy theory on the guns and roses site about Kean laundering money to buy into the club along with his agent and the Indians, and now we here that Venkys are stopping the Indian national team from coming to Blackburn due to the club having management problems.

Whats all this about are the two linked ?

[bob fleming]

Apparently going to be linked to money laundering in some way.

No way. Not the Venkys and their baby surely?

(massive sarcasm now off, for now)

[Sparky Marky]

I think a points deduction is down the line somewhere.

[roverwhelmed]

Luton

Had a little read, how scary.

[FourLaneBlue]

Points deduction? So what? We would get over it. Be worth it just for the pressure it would put on the owners.

Every piece of bad PR for Venkys is good PR for Rovers. Eventually, they will realise that owning a Premiership football club exposes them and their actions to the glare of publicity.

Hopefully, they will decide to just get rid and get their old anonymity back.

[Majiball]

I think a points deduction is down the line somewhere.

If there is it'll come next season when we least need it.

Sooner or later the FA has to take responsibility for their so-called 'fit and proper persons' test. Look at the mess at Pompey, yet it will be the club who suffers for the league allowing them to be passed from one dodgy owner to another.
