Quite specific with this tweet, I guess we'll see how genuine it is soon enough.

I think this is a legit account and I'm usually very sceptical and dismissive of ITK accounts. Will be interesting to see who is appointed.

Edit: Others saying it could be John Park, which sounds very plausible.

Kerching.

Less than eighteen months to go until we turn 150.

 

It will feel so hollow with these pricks still owning us

Where do they sit in respect to Indian politics, Modi and the lack of majority going forward? 

 

Sods law suggests the uncertainty will confuse future funding further

Mark Venus has officially left Birmingham now. 

Could he rock up back here?

It seems the directorate of enforcement have only pursued around 2.5 per cent of their cases through the courts. Those they have pursued they have a 95 per cent success rate. That suggests they are pretty sure they will win their case against the V's

isn't it good news if it drags? More likely that they then run out of assets to sell to pay their bills and more likely they are forced out due to inability to fund the club.

I have always thought that the adjournments were to gather more evidence and stand by that. It’s been dressed up as just too many cases going on so they ran out of time. The biggest reason for me thinking this, is despite Waggott sending a breakdown of what the exact payment were and Venky’s stating it was protecting their investment, a 6 months gap between the original date and the actual hearing, surely spells trouble.

Had we not sold Adam Wharton it is highly likely that bills/ wages would not have been paid, so the plea to allow funding, has fallen on deaf ears.

There is still no evidence that they can still send funds in the interim and the cleverly worded statement from Waggott to WATR does nothing to alter my belief that the cannot fund us until after the court hearing.

It remains to be seen what happens beyond the hearing, but it is certainly not the formality that was initially stated by the CEO.

How many times have you seen a government pick a fight like that they couldn't win?

My hunch is that they wouldn't have even started proceedings against venkys if they knew they weren't going get a result.

Just imagine if they hit them for the back dated tax on the money they've sent over here !

That’s my hope has well. If they can no longer finance the club it’s game over.

The only problem being they'll hang on for dear life and sell everything that's not nailed down first - including the training ground.

It’s all just a matter of time anyway. I’d prefer it to be sooner rather than later.

I just don't care any more, just get them gone. I was actually in my thirties when these scum sucking filth bag parasite gombeen skidmarks arrived on the scene like an industrial pollution incident and chained themselves round our neck like lex luthor putting a kryptonite necklace over Clark Kent's head.

I loathe then with every fibre of my being. Chicken shit takeaway adverts with fat boy David *get real" Dunno, shirts sponsored by a vape company and a bookies, a crumbling stadium that's covered in shit. An endless rogues gallery of management selected from a losers gene pool. There's so many reasons.

They've already sold the training ground.

[tomphil]

Read the other day the EPL clamp down on loopholes selling training grounds etc to raise FFP funds has been over turned ?

If so it probably won't be long before the EFL follows which means the Academy site might be next.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Burn the fucking lot down to the ground and start again.
