[Archived] Venkys what's your business plan?

[Stuart]

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.

Six-finger lickin' surely? Or have I missed some subtle humour there?

Are thumbs fingers then?

Ah, an 8-finger-ist! Subtle.

I've always called Bumley fans our six-fingers friends. Must just be me.

It is their club to do what they want with which is to promote Venky's!!

If we had stayed in the top 10 of the Premier League under SA Venky's would not have had any exposure. Just like Stoke, Villa and Sunderland owners.

They needed to destroy the club for MARKETING purposes. I bet Everton fans are so glad they didn't pick them instead of us as both had been offered.

In interviews they have brushed off the fans anger and protests with comments such as "when you have 50,000 angry chicken farmers protesting that is a problem to us, not a few thousand football fans"

There is another quote which states that taking over BRFC has had untold benefits for Venky's - everyone knows them now across the globe. The best marketing tool ever. It is a very clever plan when you think about it.

Minimal expense for GLOBAL marketing. We cannot stop them as both negative and positive comments are welcomed and push the brand further. All this "Venky's Out" was what they wanted!!

They have now realised that very little coverage is given the the Championship and nobody talks about Blackburn Rovers anymore and as a result they need to be back in the Premier League.

We are a marketing tool and we have no power to stop it!!!!!!!
