They've pinned their flags to the Rovers mast but are obviously treading very carefully in terms of legals.

Rovers fans mast, or Rovers owners?

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Just asked:

'What is the reason and motivation for owners to continue to own if not making money or asset stripping'

They are talking about rovers but framing it as all clubs to stay safe

They are clearly very worried about the legal implications and keep throwing "allegedly" in after every statement...

The journo is saying the intentions of some owners is to buy clubs in areas of high housing density, run the club down relegating them through the leagues and reducing the fan base then sell the ground and facilities for massive profit.

Is Ewood definitely protected?

[Madon]

I can't bloody wait to listen this on my drive home from work!

[Lancaster Rover]

They're dropping the asset stripping bomb in, this is a lot more than I expected.

Who is the journalist? , talking a lot of sense

[Tom]

He's just said they will stop talking now and dismiss it as 3 blokes having a rant or they will talk for another half hour if folk call in - followed up with saying if people don't want to discuss then don't say we won't talk about it

[ihtd]

I should be getting a call back between 12 and 12.30 to discuss it. I'd encourage others to ring in as well now.

Mike Calvin is the journo

I don't think land next to McDonald's and the gypsy camp will be in high demand ☺

[Lancaster Rover]

They're really pushing this and seem to want to talk about it, quite refreshing to be honest.

It's not protected in reality. If they want to sell interested parties have 6 months is it to come up with a plan to buy, I might be wrong but I think that is the jist of the community asset order, Paul will kmow the answer

[booth]

This is glorious but it mustn't be allowed to become yesterday's news.

If there's any more docs they need releasing asap.

Would be interested to know what bonuses Coyle has in his contract.

[J*B]

If anyone can, please ring in. There are literally millions listening, if we don't call they stop talking.

Is Ewood definitely protected?

There is a double lock on Brockhall and a lock on Ewood which thus far no end of legal attempts to release or pawn have not broken.

The tiny minority shareholders have a silent but important role in resisting any attempts to alter this.

When, as seems inevitable sometime, ownership passes to another owner at least two thousand miles south east of Ewood, BRAG and the Trust will have an important role to ensure these locks apply to Venkys' successors.

[ihtd]

I called in guys and was told I'd receive a call back between 12 and 12.30. If they want people to discuss it now they have had offers already.

[Lancaster Rover]

Whoever does ring in can we make sure it doesnt become about personal insults and the like. It needs to be clear about the club being seemingly owned by Venkys in name only and run under 3rd party ownership. The amount of money flowing in and out of the company to agents and the links to several linked agencies. Incentivised relegaton. The minute it becomes about Steve Kean personally it loses all credibility and will be dismissed

[Madon]

If anybody wants to pay a word of thanks to the journalist who is on Talksport you can contact him on Twitter @Calvinbook

[sharpysharps]

they usually do the phone in bit in the last hour, between 12 and 1 so I would expect calls to come in then. Colin also just mentioned that they have had plenty of calls on the subject during the break.

[Mike Graham]

I am on between 12 and 12:30 talking about the Board letter of Jan 2011 to the V's re SEM issuing a third party mandate to buy a player without reference to the Board or the Manager.
