[Archived] Venkys what's your business plan?

[darrenrover]

First off please don't pick holes in whatever I say. If you do, then you missed the point in the first place.

I would like all qualified football pressarios and suitably qualified accountants to consider and post their solutions to OUR clubs predicament and what would their structure would be.

I want to go back to just watching Rovers not debating this keans.

Raos either carry out your previously well publicised commitments or just Kean off.

[USABlue]

Well, the way they are running things, the way SHABBY Singh is going about getting us a new manager I can only think the Venkys are looking to get out, via Administration.

[Waggy76]

There is no plan and never has been , they were sold a dream by certain individuals ....

[Roverthechimp]

The plan is to develop young talent and sell for a profit whilst promoting Venkys name globally. Wages are planned to be within the Fair play regulations and the club selffunding once back in the premierleague.

It's not rocket science...

[booth]

I don't think there's much of a plan. They want to be successful, or rather Balaji does. He's certainly put his balls on the block with signing Rhodes and Murphy (at considerable risk to his own finances).

However they know nothing about football and have entrusted first JA and now Shebby Singh. Shebby has been better than JA but he seems afraid of employing an experienced strong willed character at the helm. That kind of thinking is not in the best interests of the club, especially as Venkys are apparently willing to employ anyone he suggests who is willing to take it. So it's not about money.

The best signing would be to re employ John Williams who would get the club back on track. They could trust him and he had the best interests of the club at heart, but sadly he's elsewhere.

No but hiring a manager must be

Sadly Booth you clearly know similar things as I do.

I would fully endorse your sentiments with regards to senior management.

The club needs direction and to be led.

How far away can administration be if the club misses out on promotion year after year?

[booth]

Pretty sure after two years we'd be struggling with the wage bill. After that we would have to streamline to say the least. And that's just wages and general running of the club.

[broadsword]

Well they did say that gate receipts don't even pay the wages of the principal summer signings.

If we lose the parachute money we're shafted big time. But does that run out after 4 years or 2?

It's just a matter of time, I guess the Titanic left Southampton when Venky's took over, and it left Queenstown when we got relegated.

[John]

I still can't believe how commercially inept Venkys have been since they took over - it is as if they have attempted to be bad on purpose.

Full details are online somewhere but after two years you still get them but its a lesser amount. Halved I think.

Strip the club back to the bare bones no matter what happens on the outside. Let it drop somewhere then fester for a few years then start to build it back up in your own er...'mold' !

Surely this can't be the case ?

"One of two things happen in a match : win or lose".

Factually incorrect and another moronic quote from the master.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We are being 'used' in every sense of the word.

[alexanders]

I can only give one comparison and that is Bjørn Rune Gjelsten and Kjell Inge Røkke whome ripped Wimbledon FC apart. They were the football owners from hell. What is very strand though is that they are considered one of the best business men in Norway. They are also very influential with Molde FK who as many know have Solskjær as manager and are looking to win the title second year in a row.

Its very strange how they could fail miserably as they did with Wimbledon.

Is it a culture thing? I am sure it is with Venkys, they treat most of their employees differntly in India, dont encourage any suggestions, however good they may be, treat them as dissent and nobody knows better than Venkys!

[Beta Ray Bill]

With what's gone on, if Venkys think using Rovers will help them in the chicken market over here, they may as well set up a jewelry division and hire Gerald Rather to run it.

First thing they should do is open a store in Burnley, they'd make a killing. Maybe advertise their chicken as five finger lickin' good. The locals would have a great evening in, washing down their chicken with what surely must be one of their last bottles of Trelleborg.

First you get da chickens... Den you get da football... Den you get da weemen!

I have no idea, but I have been thinking about it. They are really consideres as very good business men and even "run" a football club with success in Norway. However their fail at Wimbledon was epic.

[CapeTownRover]

so after almost running the club into ground, persisting with Kean, having received already bad publicity in England, they intend to launch a Venkys product. Im sure the public are well excited, knowing what a great brand will soon be launching.
