Venky’s v Indian Government (a) - 13/11/2024 - Re-Arranged Challenge Match


Recommended Posts

From the looks of his cv his involvement with VH seems to be on the investment and property side of things.

That could be quite interesting.

Are we going to see the potential return to the push for a smaller once size fits all training facility on a cheap brownfield site in town.  Whilst cashing in on the remaining 2 of the  large 3 leafy countryside Brockhall sites ?

Thought I'd step out of the shadows.

This new guy is a deputy manager, so not necessarily a finance guy. And I can't remember if Cheston has ever been rumoured to be leaving any time soon.

But I'd suspect maybe this Rao is going to take over from Babu and not Mike?

Isn't Cheston just basically the club accountant ?

So no guy in India finance or otherwise will have the first scooby about day to day accounts of a professional football club several thousand miles away. 

That was always a non starter and Waggot is just basically CEO in name only and just the day to day football club admin guy so he won't be going anywhere yet either.

I am pretty unsure as why he has been employed NOW! Furthermore I am unsure as to what he can bring to the game working from India.

My question would be what can he improve and how can he improve it?

If anything I see it perhaps weakening SW position and as GM alluded to replacing Cheston.

I keep reading these tax laws and overseas investments - it’s faff all to do with anything else other than Venkys have committed financial crime(s) in India - I cannot see any regulations preventing overseas investments unless they are fraudulent transactional activity. This is what is being investigated ! 

The Indian Law in question forbids overseas investment unless permission is granted.

If permission is granted it comes with conditions attached.

It would appear buying Alexander House was a breach of these conditions.

I read it slightly differently - investment worldwide is good for all countries. 
 

The fact that property has been seized suggests a fraud investigation is in full swing. Setting up a business with paperwork suggesting a business of mining and then purchasing a dwelling through it is clearly a fraudulent deal with intention of not paying corporation tax and all that goes with it.

I could be wrong but it does suggest massive wrongdoing on someone’s behalf

I agree with you about worldwide investment being a good thing but this Indian law definitely says it is forbidden unless approval is sought (and granted).

I also agree with your second and third paragraphs although I don’t know if this a ‘tax fiddle’ or something else entirely.

As with most (all?) things with the Venky’s, their motivations are as clear as mud.

to liquidate watever possible to recoup money , then sell the skeleton brfc name brand club. In the meantime do whatever necessary so we don't get promoted

Given that the additional TV revenues that accrue from being in the Premier League are worth far more than any club assets that could be liquidated why would he want to prevent us being promoted if the objective is to recoup money ?

Based on the time we spent there under the incumbent owners, I'm not too sure about that.

If Venky's wanted to make coin from the club, promotion is by far and away their best option.
