Miller11 Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 It’s been a few months since we’ve had to hear sections of our fanbase saying “thank god for Venky’s, we’d be doomed without them”, so there’s that to look forward to for the next week or so. 8 Quote
Ewood Ace Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 It really is staggering that you can spend over £200 Million in just over a decade and take a club from mid table top flight regulars to bottom half of the second tier via League 1. If you'd have given that money to 99% of posters on this forum I'd be confident that you'd have seen better results. I just don't understand what they are getting out of this you'd have thought that by now they'd have thought we are losing millions a year here let's bring someone in who can get the club looking something like a conventional club. 2 Quote

If you'd have given me the £200m I'd have banked £100m of it and moved to Monte Carlo. With the other £100m I would have left everything in place (Williams, Finn, Allardyce, et al.) and given £10m per season either to buy or subsidise the cost of a player who would ordinarily be beyond the day to day budget. By now the club would be on solid footing and I'd sell for £400m. 2 Quote

Total spend by the Rao's on their plaything now stands at £202 million! There must be cheaper hobbies! Strange old hobby as well. Taking over a football club that's a community asset and running it into the ground. If they bought the Mona Lisa, I guess Barry Venky would take a dump on it, Venky Venky would draw on it with crayon 🖍 and the wicked witch of Venkyland would put it on her wall and smile ☺ 🐔 2 Quote

Equally as galling for me is that the club has missed out on around a billion pounds in lost revenue simply due to their mismanagement, arrogance and blind stupidity. We had it there, in the palm of our hands and they dismantled it. We were the model for many others to follow and they killed it. I curse the day they darkened our door. 13 Quote

Again they'll be missing the facts that Venkys have taken us to the very brink of being a Bolton or Wigan. They keep us there and only their money stops a full on meltdown of those proportions. Very odd to be grateful for that scenario. If or when DDay finally does arrive it's odds on we'll be left worse than Bolton or Wigan. Edited June 9, 2021 by tomphil 2 Quote
JHRover Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Bolton will be above us before we are in the top 6 of this division, never mind promoted. Wigan probably too. Then it will be just little old Bury as the 'look what we would become without Venkys' example. 2 Quote

I expect Facebook is even worse. This is the problem the longer Venkys are here. Young, ignorant fans don’t know any different and history will be rewritten. Stockholm syndrome in full flow. Mowbray has cleverly tapped into this zeitgeist with talk of us “not having Shearer and Sutton any more”. I just wish these know-nowts weren’t quite so smug. The lad there “Finch” was probably in primary school when these club killers rocked up. They are the biggest threat to the future of this club and we are totally reliant on them writing off £200m (and rising). Meanwhile they are being 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻‘d at by the young generation of fans, who blame other supporters for our plight. 5 Quote
Ulrich Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 I looked forward too and enjoyed football, before Venky's appeared ☹️ 2 Quote
phili Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 I must admit the cash injections seem to be lower than i would have expected this year. Looking at it they have injected £1m more than last season despite not having nearly as much match day income etc plus investing more in player wages etc this term. I would have expected at least another £5-7m in share allocations this year to cover that shortfall. So really i wonder where the cash has come from to pay everything? Quote

Matchday income for a year was only around £3 million wasn’t it? Plus there’d be savings on all the matchday expenses. I imagine commercial income wouldn’t have suffered as much since it’s mostly about being seen on Sky than by the 8,000 diehards. Quote

But if their hobby was,say, model trains, you'd think they would make sure that the wheels were going round after 10+ years. Quote
Sparks Rover Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Their numbers are fantastic actually if you check their latest numbers as a whole group....revenues up 40%+ ....they have 2bn cash in hand according to latest figs.... 5m is like loose change, they are seriously rich....abramovich rich.

Loans from Venkys as opposed to share capital Quote
