Mrs Desai said she remained impressed by the job that Kean is doing for Rovers and she played down the future role at the club of Mr Anderson, whose SEM/Kentaro group brokered the takeover deal.

She said: "Jerome has helped us but I want to be very clear that he does not run the club.

"We will be working with anybody and any agents to make this club successful but we are not controlled by his company. His role will now diminish."

This is from the Lancashire Telegraph in early February 2011 following John Williams' resignation.

Slightly at odds with what her solicitors wrote a very few weeks later....

I just say this from a long term poster (2005) on the Official Rovers Messageboard:

I agree with what you are saying RTT but it's just that things are never going to improve under our current ownership. We are heading in the wrong direction and before it gets very, very bad we need to get rid of them.

Psychosomatic responded:

...and replace them with who? Who is beating down our door to take over and with the ability to invest the kind of money in one go we'd need to seriously improve the squad to compete? The owners have put in plenty of money and it hasnt worked, for various different reasons. The club has needed to adapt to the circumstances we are in and theyre right now to be prudent and to try to work with what we have, especially in terms of the youth set up. I dont see the owners as the problem at all, we just need to accept we are probably at our level now and need to work hard to get above that. Unfancied teams with no money have done it before and will do it again. Coyle did it at Burnley for one."

Psyco sounds barking to me.

.....and Sanj on the official MB says:

"We can't keep going over the same old rubbish. After been a fan (aka a SUPPORTER) for almost 30 years I'm utterly embarrassed by so many of our so called fans. I enjoy supporting us through thick and thin. If the last 3 years had been run exactly the same but by different owners, we wouldn't have a gripe in the world with them"

Goodness that made me laugh. What a wally.

This mentality isn't isolated though. The day after Coyle was appointed I bumped into a bloke I used to work with. I was sounding off about the Indians and he cut me short and said something like 'we have to be grateful to them because they are paying the bill's and keeping us solvent'. I had to walk away but not before I told him a few home truths. I know he goes to the games with his mates who think the same. The battle isn't just with the Indians, it's with some of our own.

Pitiful.

Anyone know who owns this farmers land on your way into Brockhall Village? It looks like it needs a @#/? off "Venkys Out" sign to me.

[tomphil]

Just a matter of time before Coyle says that some fans "understand what we are trying to do here".

Some of us do, sadly.

[walk down bolton road]

She is probably on her jollies clubbing it in Ibiza.

And tantric dancing on the beach with a cockney spiv.

Perhaps we could hire some of those HGV trailers that you see dotted at the side of motorways in fields with adverts on them.

Venkys out ! Every few miles at the side of the M6/1/5 would certainly catch the eye.

I have inadvertently become party to the details that will emerge from inside the club in the next few days and although I have no intention of stealing any thunder, or jeopardising the great work being done by the members on here and behind the scenes I will say that the source involved is making an extremely brave decision to come forward and has nothing to gain by doing so.

I sincerely hope the individual concerned receives the respect, support, protection and credit they deserve when matters go public. They certainly have it from me unconditionally.

If it's as damning as you allude to they will have my complete respect, support and credit. Exciting times!

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

Is this a former employee at Rovers you are referring to Darth?

[Neal]

Just a thought, apologies if this has been mentioned before...

For anyone legally savvy... Is there any way of acquiring the apparent 'fit and proper' documentation and then seeing if any of the documents conflict with any of the criteria?

[tomphil]

Better to just keep it under wraps until someone actually speaks instead of trying to find out who it might be. Just remember who's watching....

[1arC]

I think it has been decided to keep this under wraps for now, until the interview has been done. Interesting as it is, keeping quiet on this for a few days will pay dividends and not spoil any chance of it happening.

[Iceman]

I think if this person requires any legal representation, then the fans will join in helping him or her fund that. Its now no longer a case of sitting back and allowing these cretins to control us, or destroy this club. The fans are hitting back harder than ever

True 1arC.

It also helps to drip feed the information week by week rather than firing all our cannons at once.

For tactics a must read for ALL Rovers fans is: "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu written in 5thC BC.

It is about grinding your enemy into submission. I have successfully used the approach in this book a number of times :-)

I completely understand. I wasn't looking for a name, just a yes or no ... but I can appreciate the situation is delicate.

Exciting stuff!

For those who dont want to give any money to Venkys but like having a kit you could always get one of these...

Please please....for once.....let this be the rumour that comes true!!

We owe it to that person to share their info as many times as possible, in any way possible. I said years ago that fans need evidence and won't just buy into conspiracy theories or 'wink, wink, nudge, nudge' info - Now people have been brave enough to release it, I have seen supporters (Rovers Fans as they have been referred to) have their eyes opened and show disgust and support now they have something to physically see. One thing I would suggest, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Death by a thousand cuts is better. Drip feed info, rather than dump everything and draw in the enemy before hitting a knock out blow. Timing is everything.

*The 'Rovers Fans' was originally supporters who clap along happily 😂

Get to Specsavers Neal. It looks like someone has sicked curry all over the shirt.

Disgusting.

Ha ha. Pedro has also read "The Art of War". :-)

Talking of clapping I wonder what Ewood Spark thinks about all the revelations.....seriously, this is not having a go.

[J*B]

Anyone that is aware of whats going on behind the scenes please, please keep it under wraps. It could all be scuppered if certain people become aware and that will send us backwards.

I know Tom is hiding posts on this to make sure it happens, but he can't be here all the time. Darth i'm unsure how you've become aware, but please keep shut. Theres a football club on the line here folks.

[Iceman]

For those who dont want to give any money to Venkys but like having a kit you could always get one of these...

Lol who are selling these?

[Glenn]

I've just had a quick tidy up. Somebody had left some powder lying around and I sensed big heavy storm clouds on the horizon.

There's a few who've gone missing recently who post a lot more than ES!
