tomphil Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Well for starters - I consistently questioned the believe of some that Venky's were going to sell Rhodes - of course eventually it was going to come true - but a long time after the doomsayers predicted. This based on a balanced view that Rhodes was the one thing they thought they had got right. With Kean and Bowyer - with the benefit of hindsight I personally probably gave them more time than they should have had. Of course you could say that without the points gained under Kean - we would have been relegated in our first season in the Championship (btw check my posts - I said after only a few matches that we were getting points through good fortune under Kean rather than good play and that it couldn't continue, I also said he should be sacked before we were relegated). I also didn't renew my season ticket that year - in protest at Kean. As for Bowyer - who knows who they would have appointed if they had got rid of him earlier - it really could have been frying pan and fire. I was wrong about Howard Kendall - as I bet an Everton fan that he would stay at Ewood (was a little taken in by the wet behind the ears comments in the press at the time - and thought he would stay another season). Right thats some of my confession - as they say let he is without sin throw the first stone - or is it lonely in that ivory tower. BTW I never said I was always right. I wouldn't be surprised if you are a man/woman of the cloth. That would perfectly fit your see the positives in every scenario no matter what's really going on attitude. Of course I'm only a mere fool but I've always wondered, religion v scientific fact, who's right ?

BlueMonday Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Leicesters success havent gone unheard! Millions to make IF promoted! Millions too lose IF get rid... What would you choose?Time to cut our lossesThese fools have been dismantling the Club since they arrived. They don't know what they are doing, it's that simple. How can the Raos have a vision for the Club when they don't understand football and won't listen to advice. However traumatic its going to be, we need to be rid of these Charalatans. And as for Indian pride. WHO GIVES A FLYING @#/? ABOUT THEIR PRIDE. They have dragged this proud Clubs name through the mud. They deserve everything that's coming to them. (Not aimed at you Neophox just a general rant)
PeteJD13 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Facebook is awash today with reports that the dossier will be making an appearance in 48 hours

(Not aimed at you Neophox just a general rant) Totally agree but if they are aware of Leicesters success and the rewards of getting into the PL I'd be more optimistic of them giving it a push.
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted April 28, 2016 Moderation Lead Posted April 28, 2016 Facebook is awash today with reports that the dossier will be making an appearance in 48 hours What took them so long? I bet there's nowt in there anyway.....
PeteJD13 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 What took them so long? I bet there's nowt in there anyway..... it comes with the usual its explosive etc, part of me wants to believe it, the same part of me that thought the penny would drop with venkys as it turns out they never had a penny...........
Al Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Didnt Alan Nixon say his Work Permit request was denial? Nixon knows nothing.
BlueMonday Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Totally agree but if they are aware of Leicesters success and the rewards of getting into the PL I'd be more optimistic of them giving it a push.They keep getting second chances and the benefit of doubt. The only constants under Venkys reign are, chaos, disharmony, failure and deceit.People need to stop hoping they will get it right. They are toxic failures. Instead of dreaming about the Prem under Venkys, I'd happily start over in league 2, with decent honest owners, with part supporter ownership and build the Club up from there. Turn BRFC back into a Community Club, a Club with a Heart again. Rovers, back in the Prem under Venkys, would still be a Club with no Heart, just with more money. And still detached from the supporters.

Roverall Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Hi Pete, can you give us a link to these Facebook rumours please?
yoda Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Facebook is awash today with reports that the dossier will be making an appearance in 48 hours You mean Brett Guevara from Cuba who has inside press info on what is about to be published in the UK
tomphil Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 What took them so long? I bet there's nowt in there anyway..... For the average fan there probably won't be but I really don't know exactly what people are actually looking for. There's no rhyme or reason to it just a load of chancers ducking and diving and trying to fill their pockets and operate way above their station. The Kean and his gangster theory will never be proven but I think it's safe to say he had more in it all than just a fast track to management. It was obvious at the time, everything points to it but how could you prove it.
VinjayV4 Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Who started the rumor that it could be out within 48 hours and who is on their friends list? What took them so long? I bet there's nowt in there anyway..... Some people haven't had the crucial piece as long as others and there isn't "nowt" in it.

Turn BRFC back into a Community Club, a Club with a Heart again. Rovers, back in the Prem under Venkys, would still be a Club with no Heart, just with more money. And still detached from the supporters. Problem is - at the moment I don't see them selling us - or even giving us away. If they wanted to, they could just sell all the remaining star players - slash the wage bill - and see how it goes. As long as we aren't losing millions - as we are at the moment - there would be no real incentive to get rid of the club and admit failure. However, if they get us back in the Premiership - recoup some of their losses - have something that is worth selling - they may decide to cash in. It is a bit of a shame - when they appointed Lambert I think there was genuine optimism that they had finally seen the light - but for some reason they haven't followed through on it. Who knows what goes on in Pune !
