[Archived] BIG STORY TO BREAK

[Pedro]

What a surprise, the Derek Acorah of Malta is at it again. Do you ever actually release any information Philip or do you just prey on the naive?

I know exactly what the story is but all I can say is it is negatively positive or positively negative, depending on which way you view it.

[Mike Graham]

Get your copies of Sunday Mail tomorrow!!!!!!

Is that the Mail on Sunday?

[Lie_still_Rover]

Tell us then Pedro "I think it might be..." isn't incriminating really is it?

You're at it now!!

I'm being sarcastic, I've no idea what it is and don't care. Just giving an example of Philipl's type of non-information people dangle from. He doesn't know, for me it's glaringly obvious he doesn't have a clue in the way that he doesn't commit to anything and the only time I remember him comitting to anything was when he predicted financial meltdown 12months ago. Since then, he hangs off the nads of anyone who does have a little insight. #Crank

Maybe he actually means the Sunday Mail in which case, as it is a Scottish rag, the story must be about a Glasgow mafia ring installing Ally Mcoist as manager with Neil Lennon as his assistant.

[Ricky]

Are you in it this time Philip or was that the Daily Mail.

[SouthAussieRover]

This thread is simply to tell you all to buy the Mail on Sunday because it has got some stuff about Rovers in it.

OK

I can't buy it so can you give me a heads up on what the four possible stories might be?

[CrazyIvan]

It's always struck me that this whole ITK thing is the equivalent of school kids running round the playground singing 'I know something you don't know' etc. Philipl has been doing it for ages.

Frankly, keep your mouth shut unless you're willing to tell us. Having said that, I have no issues with Kamy as he doesn't crave the limelight like some.

[Waggy76]

Venky's London Limited notice of Dissolution

Is the above anything to do to with the story ??

[Tugay-is-God]

Presumably it's linked to the story Kamy's talking about.

I think it's about Stevie.

If rumours are to be believed, one of them is that Sir Jimmy Saville fingered Mrs Desai when she was 15 and asked Jim to fix it for her to completey feck up a well established Premier League club.

[Bluefudge]

Does anyone actually read a newspaper anymore?

Better still does anyone believe anything in one ?

And the other 3 stories?

[Bob Dewhurst]

Yawn........

[Alan75]

Topic closed as there is no story at this point and the topic has become a slanging match between different parties.

[Mercer]

Is this the 'big story' ?

http://www.mailonsun...kburn-deal.html

What a damp feckin squib.

Why do some folk bother ?

[SouthAussieRover]

I'm guessing that's not what Philip was expecting.

Not been a good few days for the fella.

[Bennisfromheaven]

a bit of a non story really!?! he could have earned £14.9 million if he performed as a manager, i dont think anyone would begrudge him that if results were good!!

.....but didnt cause hes crap!!

[hollowsr]

Glad I'm not the only one underwhelmed! Surely that can't be what people are referring to!

[HemelRover]

Philip Lingard ‏@philiplingard

@sportingintel. The interest is why such a monster contract and why did Venky's lie by telling fans the contract was something different?

From the story.

He was on a £1m-a-year basic deal last season, which would have risen to £1.2m this season if Rovers were still in the top flight, then £1.5m, £1.75m and £2m - plus 'additional salary' payments of £1.6m per year for the last three years, regardless of which division Blackburn were in.

Pay reductions for relegations were factored in, hence his 2012-13 basic pay of £600,000 a year, albeit with a £500,000 bonus if Rovers won immediate promotion.

why such a monster contract? Who cares, he was never going to earn it was he?

[perthblue02]

Unfortunately the V's telling fibs is not a shock anymore. Would love to know what the additional salary payments of 3 x 1.6 million regardless of division where for.

[RibbleValleyRover]

IIRC we never got confirmation that last years contract was an extension until 2016. I am pretty sure Kean denied the rumours at the time as did the club.

[Rover_Shaun]

I'm sure, only the other week, plenty of people said his contract was up this summer
