I got the full article E Maile me today, by a journalist who is a sports reporter for one of the regular red tops. 3 Quote

Watching something we all love being ruined beyond repair in front of our eyes. And not being able to do a thing about it. I hate what the Rao family are doing to our club. 4 Quote

RevidgeBlue Posted March 5, 2024 Posted March 5, 2024 Does anyone know if we are still going to Court on March 12th as things stand? Quote
tomphil Posted March 6, 2024 Author Posted March 6, 2024 I expect it'll all go through and just enough to see us through to summer will be made available. Next date will be set for well into next season so liquidating more assets and more cuts with have to be done to see us through to next Oct'ish. Death by many cuts when a lot would prefer a clean cold one chop job and just get it over with. 6 Quote

The outcome could be interesting though, especially if anyone making the decision, is aware of the article that surfaced yesterday. Quote

Backroom Silas Posted March 6, 2024 Backroom Posted March 6, 2024 On 05/03/2024 at 15:15, Herbie6590 said: https://theathletic.com/5277307/2024/03/05/blackburn-rovers-gary-neville/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=twitterfc&source=twitteruk I know there's bigger problems on the table, but this still sticks out to me: "An agent who has dealt with Blackburn regularly over the past decade says that, while the McGuire case was clearly extreme, any negotiation with the Lancashire club is approached with the acknowledgement that an agreement may ultimately be vetoed once it has been passed on to India." If I imagine a World where we escape relegation, win the Court case to ensure future funding from India, get the Wharton/Raya money for investment, and then go into a vital summer transfer window to rebuild. We're then in a cutthroat and ever competitive transfer market, with a wallet considerably less than most, and a stench like that wafting around us. It's almost an impossible task. Just grim. And that's the optimistic version. Reality is probably lost Court case, all transfer funds swallowed up. 3 Quote
tomphil Posted March 6, 2024 Author Posted March 6, 2024 It will always be impossible whilst these lot own the club and have their puppets running it. Money or no money it's always the same and we've seen both extremes under their ownership. It's pathetic to put it politely. 2 Quote
broadsword Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 From the athletic article "The takeover initially cost Venky’s around £43million for the equity plus a further £20million paid to clear debts. Since then they have pumped in a total of around £200million, most of which they know they will never recoup." I thought it was 43 total, twenty three for the equity? 2 Quote
tomphil Posted March 7, 2024 Author Posted March 7, 2024 I thought it was 23 mill, 10 mill for immediate debt then 10 mill to be injected straight away to cover running costs ? Quote
philipl Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 There were a bunch of fees paid including 5m to the tantric agent (official no doubt plus plus) so cost of 43m is about the number I had in mind. Quote

Not sure about that. From what I remember under the trust, our o/d with Barclays was running at a steady twenty mill Quote
broadsword Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Btw, if the club was valued at £23m when we were in the prem, Jesus, What's the value now? £1? Quote
