Love a good party...just not a promotion one.

Is it a coincidence that our Rovers' COO is currently in India on business ? I doubt it, wouldn't want to miss the party.

Does anyone know whether Venkys could choose to charge zero rent for the senior training centre?

You'd think a peppercorn rent would be appropriate.

Do we still charge our own Community Trust to use the Darwen End? That's low.

And yet the club pays £400,000…

Re your question , for their financial year ending 31/12/23, the Community Trust were charged by the club for ‘goods and services’ a total of £426,977.

I hope it’s just some sort of accounting trick but with our lot I wouldn’t bank on it.

Is there another court case on the horizon?

I'm sure they'll come up with something to derail the latest top 6 tilt and decent gaffer.

After the last date was deferred I'm sure I saw in the LT a line saying the club don't expect a resolution any time soon. It was mixed in with the usual, has no effect on the running of the club, but it's the first time I've seen any sort of admittance that this is going to keep on rolling for some time. 

I think we'll all be utterly shocked if this just goes away. We've somehow stumbled on whilst being successful on the pitch, but come the end of the season the chickens are really going to come home to roost. We simply can't continue to exist in our current form with zero funding. 

[Crimpshrine]

I don't think these court hearings have much relevance now. The outcome of the ED investigation is what is important and that could roll on for ever and is not affected by the court hearing requested by Venky's.

My belief is that there is still no official permission ( No Objection Certificate ) to send money out of India.  However some 'agreement' has been reached which means they can send money - as confirmed by the recent cash injection to Venkateshawa London to pay off the training ground loan to Crossbaron. They didn't have to wait for the court approval for that.

I suspect that when they sold the Neville house they probably paid off the tax they should have paid when they bought it in the first place. This may have earned them enough brownie points.

So, in theory, they can send money to VLL for Rovers to use in January and there will be no FFP restrictions either. It just depends if they can be bothered or not.

The narrative has changed again from Waggots BS about it just being a crossing the t's and dotting the i's formality.

Now it's it will probably go on and on for a while yet.

The guy is unreal with his spin he hasn't got the first clue what's going on and do we REALLY think hes requested funds for a Jan window or is he just pacifying everyone before the usual let down.

Telling porkys as usual.

Just a week away from having another postponement then!

Does anyone actually know when they were last in attendance of a game or at Ewood Park?

[simongarnerisgod]

the charlton game when mr venky got a snowball in the face😁,unless they have been covertly here,i think thats the last time they set foot in ewood

[Mattyblue]

Season after season we are knocking on the door of the Premier League in January. Just 20 games from that stage that can completely financially transform a football club, potential owners from across the world falling over themselves to get involved… season after season we then fall away after doing feck all in the window as we have owners that seemingly couldn’t give a monkeys about said riches or the club in general - but won’t ever sell it either. 

As always, the question is, why?

on the other hand,the brown envelope might not be fat enough and the judge smiles,gives them all 20 years each,with no appeal and  no parole😂

Thanks. Do they hear them in strictly numerical order do you know?

I don’t 

I’ve watched the live feed a couple of times (I have far too much time on my hands!) and whilst they appear to go in order the connection’s never good enough to be sure.

Replied in correct thread to avoid the wrath of @Herbie6590 😁😁

Currently 2pm in Delhi, does anyone know if this has gone ahead? Looked on that site but can't find any 'live' court updates as such.

Aware that there's a 99.99% chance it gets postponed again - but i'm clinging on to hope that they'll get told to piss off, and end up having to sell us.

It's all virtually irrelevant to the football club at this stage I think. If they want to fund us they can. But as Paul Mani said they don't like the idea of being personally on the hook for it.

Whether or not the Court case materially affects other areas of their business I've no idea.
