To be honest, what else are you expecting?

If there is bad news on the way, no one's going to spill the beans anyway.

If I knew what it was, everyone would know

What IS the situation now with Kean gone? Are we out of the woods yet? Or are there more damning revelations to be expected relating to the ownership? I'm not after specifics, just want to know whether we can relax as supporters, or there is a further sh1t storm on the way....

I'd be amazed if there aren't revelations over the coming months, but I'm in no way an ITKer. Just that so many things have been downright bizarre over the past year and a half that the only explanations are, in someone else's words, dark forces.

[Blue blood]

Just my personal opinion, but I think we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. The situation with Kean, Jerome and our supposed owners was far too strange. No smoke without fire... something unusual has happened, though I'd rather not speculate as to what. I think it'll come out eventually.

Agree. And am not sure the situation isn't too murky and messy atm either!

Well we know one part of that has gone - Kean. Has JA, that is open to speculation. Means we are left with venkys.

It is quite possible that when the action group showed the FA / PREM their dossier. That instead of doing things publicly. Venkys were told - by the FA etc - to sort one or two things out. It is common knowledge that they hate anything that brings the game into disrepute. so do all they can to protect it.

It would therefore not surprise me if venkys were told - not publicly, so as to protect the game, to sort this and that out. Keep things inhouse.

Neither the PREM or the FA would want a public stink on their hands. After all they have tried for years to stamp out racial stuff out of football and failed miserable.

But nobody in football has been able to curb the behaviour of agents. They are the disease in football imo.

Last year’s £49.9million wage bill has been swollen by the £40,000-a-week contract signed by Jordan Rhodes in August and debts of £36m increased with the striker’s £8m transfer from Huddersfield.

+100 !

I wouldn't trust this yahoo to organise the christmas party never mind find us a new manager. Yet another goof to add to the list of completely stupid moves by the know nothing chicken farmers. At least we know why it's taken the Malaysian version of Mr MaGoo until Thursday to Wikipedia his stupid "shortlist" - he's been poncing around Brockhall in a tracksuit.

Stop farting about and get your skates on Shebby - this is not Football Manager you fatuous pill0ck.

so kean and venkys telling us the club was debt free was a lie. no surprise there then!

we've sold over £40M worth of talent and we still have 36M in debt......

just how much have the agent (s) taken from the club?

[Ewoodbhappy]

The debt issue needs to be clarified. I too remember seeing or hearing it said we are debt free.

This is the type of info BRAG & if possible Kammy should be chasing.

Blackburn: No financial problems

The 51-year-old former Malaysia international claims he will serve as "the eyes and ears" for controversial owners Venky's at Ewood Park and on Wednesday gave boss Steve Kean a vote of confidence despite questioning the Scot's abilities in his previous role as a pundit.

Singh is fully aware of discontent among fans voicing over the future direction of Rovers, but insists everything is in order financially and has promised two signings in the coming days.

He told the Lancashire Telegraph: "From the outside looking in you could feel the emotions of the fans last season. That is not a good thing and is a battle that will (take) a long time to win.

"I can say the club has got absolutely zero financial problems. Whatever was inherited has been cleared. There is no debt.

"Transfer funds are available and within the next week we will have at least two signings. We are very advanced in our negotiations and talks."

As per usual things don't add up.

We should have an official response to this are we debt free or not ?

[Pedro]

I think that £36m debt quote is probably lazy journalism. It's probably the difference you get when you subtract the parachute payments from the money you get paid for actually being in the Premier League.

[Paul]

If calculated on just one season I believe the figure would be £27m. Last published accounts PL income was £43m, this season's parachute payment is £16m.

Which is why for the very existance of the club, the right manager is brought in and promotion gained this season.
