[Archived] Talksport Has Interview Ready For 11.30Am Today Re. Dodgy Takeovers

[Oldgregg86]

A high ranking figure in all these takeovers will be on talksport doing a rare interview regarding dodgy owners. Venkys and forest mentioned. 11.30 am today for anyone interested

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Seems like it's all about Forest at the moment.......

Invest banker - 'Keith Harris' - the high ranking figure

[Gav]

Is Keith bringing Orville?

Venkys will love that

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Jim White – “why would Venkys want to own Blackburn?”

Keith Harris “now I don’t know too much about that takeover to be honest but what I do hear that as a result of that ownership the Venkys have done superb business in their own country i.e. the chicken business. What they have done for the people of Blackburn though is appalling. Now I don’t suggest there are nefarious people involved however I understand the side effects have been good for them as well………but overall they don’t understand it (football), the people running it don’t speak English, it’s a bit of mystery to me”

Jim White eventually concludes - "we know that some takeovers are good and some are bad but what we do know is that we have to put up with them" - brilliant, thanks Jim, @#/? revolutionary you are

[Oldgregg86]

Venkys have no knowledge of football and employ people who struggle with the English language. Off the back of buying rover's their chicken industry has profitted. Also mentioned using the club to launder money. After hearing that all forms of protest should be aimed at their chicken business and tarnishing their and the products name over their to have any impact in getting them to sell up. They clearly don't care about anything over here so should probly focus on the FA to get something in place to try and stop this happening in the future and killing our game. Just some of my thoughts.

Good summation. Can't believe the Raos don't speak English though.

Would go some way to explain why they continue to hold on to Rovers whilst making huge losses as they are making up for that with the profits increase in the chicken business.

[Oldgregg86]

Exactly that. And as long as they are essentially making money in the grand scheme as well as being able to move money around freely why would they sell. Fit and proper, ha what an absolute joke. We need to hit them over there where it hurts and get all fans not just Blackpool but Coventry forest etc and organise one massive protest at the FA. A few small clubs ( in their eyes) making noise what can be swept under the carpet or all together making a stand. It's the only chance we have as football fans.

I think he was referencing the people on the ground at the club running it - I can only assume he means Pasha.

[Tom]

Pasha speaks English so do the Rao's

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Henry Winter kept bring the discussion back to us despite Jim White saying "SISU" over and over........Henry mentioned the fact that Keith Harris stated that "some of the money hould never have left the countries it originated in" and whether that may insinuate money laundering.

It felt like people knew that the takeover and running of the club wasn't right and certainly wasn't good for the fans but there was a general feeling of 'what can we do'.

Keith Harris admitted he didn't know a huge amount about our takeover tbf to him......

[Oldgregg86]

Reporter reported on our title winning season and said he saw jack walker cradling the premier league trophy like it was his first born.

[donnermeat]

Can't stand Jim White's smug face. Oh isn't he funny because he wears a yellow tie on transfer deadline day?? (That also goes for any silly sod that wears yellow on that day too, though that's one for the RANT thread)

He's a stinking tool that will never say anything to help us for obvious reasons.

[Rover_Shaun]

Maybe Keith needed Chuckles?

[gumboots]

Is this the Keith Harris who presented us with the Worthington Cup?

I don't listen to Jim White much, but I sometimes succumb, if they are discussing(hahaha) Rovers. My sense is that Mr White has an agenda to steer discussion away from Rovers onto safer subjects.

At the Blakey's meeting, one articulate speaker referred to Anderson managing/owning many Talksport people...

I think it is time we targeted specific shows, where we will get a fair hearing e.g. Stan Collymore. He was really up for Rovers, Coventry etc on Sunday, saying WTF are the F.A.? etc.

Not sure about 606, unless Kelly is on, but her co-presenter,"Wrighty" is/certainly was an Anderson client.

On a positive note, I have a sense that this is more in the spotlight. Don't give up!

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

I believe it's this chap - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_R._Harris

[tomphil]

Jim White has always gone out of his way to divert attention off his buddies. He has a face that would be a pleasure to slap never mind his stupid ties.

Yet again people get lost for words when it comes to Rovers and others suddenly clam up. I think that guy nailed it well though, for Venkys it's all about the core business and 'other people' have done well out of it also.

Stinks.

[Dunnfc]

Is Jim White like Charlie Nicolas an ex SEM client?

I remember this interview between White and Kean; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGIFb_UHY2o

That is my working hypothesis haha

[RevidgeBlue]

I'm at a loss to understand how taking over and making a complete pigs ear of running the Club could boost their core businesses back home but perhaps someone could explain.

It hasn't Rev. It couldn't have done.

[Amo]

If you needed more reason to hate Jim White:

"My goodness, your enthusiasm, Steve, always comes across loud and clear!"

[koi]

Jim White is BIG mates with Kean. Fact.

[gumboots]

You didnt put a health warning on that. Just the sight of kean has raised my blood pressure to dangerous levels
