[K-Hod]

I'm sure there's a timeline with all these somewhere online isn't there? I can't remember who did it, but I'm sure there is something similar....

[DE.]

I remember seeing something a while back that was somewhat out of date. If a list already exists that would be useful.

[Blackburn Ravers]

Expect another article in the next few days, this next one will be from the Sakal times based in Pune itself, (they hate Venkys as well)

#VenkysOut

[yoda]

Can you post the link when it is done?

Great work

[Blackburn Ravers]

Can you post the link when it is done?

Of course mate, i will post it as soon as I get it

[arbitro]

Well done again Glen. The Chinese Water Torture will soon have its desired effect. Keep chipping away mate.

[AllRoverAsia]

This thread should be pinned. Least we forget.

[DE.]

Striking how articles on the club, and any pressure towards Venky's, completely dried up after 2013. In that respect Bowyer's stability might not have been the blessing it seemed at the time.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Total and utter silence from Venkys....arses are twitching me thinks!

[DE.]

Total and utter silence from Venkys....arses are twitching me thinks!

Barely a word uttered from them as far as Rovers is concerned since 2013. Before then they were sporadically in the press reminding us how to be better supporters and telling us to trust them.

Now people apparently get thrown out of Pune Towers just for mentioning the words "Blackburn Rovers".

[ABBEY]

Barely a word uttered from them as far as Rovers is concerned since 2013. Before then they were sporadically in the press reminding us how to be better supporters and telling us to trust them.

Now people apparently get thrown out of Pune Towers just for mentioning the words "Blackburn Rovers".

really? not seen that ....wonder if anyone has asked them for a comment yet?

I think Kamy posted in another thread that somebody got a meeting with them recently, under the pretense of something non-football related, but as soon as Rovers was mentioned said person was quickly escorted off the premises.

ah ..missed that.

ah ..missed that.

Removed in an over the top fashion I think Kamy said.

Top thread DE.

This is one from Sporting Intel in 2013 re the abandonement of Rovers by the FA etc.

Whatever happened to the FA investigation into Rovers. Were the findings ever made public? 2013 again:-

Cheers Blueboy, added both of those into the first post.

I imagine the FA's investigation went something along the lines of

"Could we be implicated in this?"

"Yes"

"Then we'll ignore these findings and hope it quietly goes away."

And sadly, until recently that's exactly what happened.

Keans sacking 2012:-

“I wish to thank all the players and coaching staff for their great support and the majority of the fans, who now see their club heading towards an automatic promotion position back to the Premiership"

Deluded to the end!

But he could have gone sooner but for his pesky agent wife:-
