Strange how the venkys don't get a mention there ! 

Did they ever actually really own it or was it just another bit of cheap publicity by the SEM propaganda crowd ?

You could say the same about the football club!

Never forgiven never forgot.  I will begrudgingly let it go, the day they move on

I'm half with you but what then if they chucked in the ticket?

I've thought it through, long and hard and STRONGLY believe it will come good!......

Only with the right manager. If they appointed a proven coach. This squad is capable

Never forget, but try and forgive. Move forward together. They need to sit down and explain what happened. Would they do that? Until something along those lines happens, it shows they don’t care. It’s about trying to build the ‘broken’ trust. Venkey’s over to you...

And what evidence is there that they will ever appoint the right manager/proven coach?

I can't see past HSH's current list of out of work clients.

We may think that the only solution is a return to the top flight, but are we sure that is the agenda here? There is not a lot of supportive evidence...

Therein a contradiction...Venky's/empowered board governance. 

Cheston appointed Warnock and while he was on holiday, someone else overturned the decision. And that was after all the "learning from their previous mistakes". 

Now the agenda looks worryingly like a nursery school for the premiership...

Sorry Leonard, I understand and all that but shame on you.

You clearly don't "understand". Shame on the owners! Jesus, I don't want it to be true...

What evidence can you show that they have ever really gone for promotion?

Brilliant owners apparently. People agreeing underneath!

Genius move to be so bad and corrupt at the start that standards become so low and even allowing a key asset to run his deal down is a symbol of the owners beimg brilliant.

Long way to go before they even come close to being brilliant owners.

It’s still “ or Not “ for me.

@roversfan99 

Its been a good week, why have you brought this thread back to the top, I can feel the old ticker working overtime just at the thought of these parasites stepping foot in the town 😁

Ignore that guy, he's a fuckwit.

As for Venkys, I wish nothing but the worst on them and I hope that this club ends up costing them every penny they have. 

The damage they have caused, not just to the club but the town as a whole, is immeasurable. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

The only place we want the Raos is out of our club. Gary's cheerleading doesn't hide the 20,000 empty seats, highlighted by the row of empty seats where proper owners would proudly sit.

[JeffRover]

Half the support base want to throw a snowball on sight if they see them, the other portion want more visibility and communication. That gap can’t be bridged, so they’re better off staying away.

I still think that if we hypothetically got to a playoff final it would be a shame if they didn’t feel able or willing to come over to Wembley and watch the game.

What makes you think they’d be remotely interested in doing so? Their attitude to us is like my attitude to the Netflix subscription that I have but don’t use.

I think you are wrong on your 50/50 judgement. A lot of people who would like to throw a snowball/brick/hand grenade at them are gone now. As a percentage of our vastly reduced crowd, it’d be about 15%. You’d have a slightly higher percentage who would cheer them and give them the heroes welcome they’d arrogantly expect; Some due to a desire to be the superest of fan, some like the tweeter mentioned above, because they genuinely think that by lavishing Venky’s with praise they will be allowed to run the club with their old school pals. The vast majority would display total indifference though.

I’ll tell you what is a shame - that they were ever allowed anywhere near our club. They should feel ashamed every day.

I didn’t intend for my post to reopen old wounds. If you thought that was the intention I apologise. I agree that overall their ownership has been a dismal failure, it couldn’t be judged as anything else.

I think they’d attend a game like that because they love basking in the glory of the huge occasions, when we’re playing one of the big six, cup final etc.

I think you would accept that the several different positions amongst the fan base cannot be reconciled. I just think this current truce is relatively painless compared to the toxicity of several years ago.

Jesus wept. I remember why I unfollowed that bloke a long time ago. Was he born 5 years ago?
