Whatever lad.

We've all seen the complete bollocks and undying support, for your then mate, you posted all over this site.

I'll ask again, since you never responded any of the other times I asked you directly,  what were the "big changes" you kept promising us a while back?

You are absolutely right. The poster did state that big changes were on the horizon and we could expect a brighter future.

What exactly where you promised and are you prepared to accept that like the rest of us, Roverite, you were also fed a lot of bullshit by Waggott?

Manure are not for sale but they have had several interested parties who have made bids and which have been considered (not yet accepted).

Widely reported that their American owners were thinking of selling. So not surprising that a queue formed.

Seem to have changed their mind.

An Australian millionaire has bought Southend United. How unlikely is that? But here's been plenty of other examples.

Provides the answer to those who think we are doomed if Venkys decide to go away.

Yes you are correct with your first point. 

I deffo don't think we would be doomed but you would need an owner who has millions to put in the first year aswell as appointing new key personal off the field to run and improve the club, commercial and marketing operations

But where are the potential buyers? Why is no one showing any interest?

Surely, it there was legitimate interest in buying BRFC then I would expect someone to have made a bid because surely Venkys have to realise its the right time to faff off and leave.

who would any potential buyer approach? Waggott or Pasha or direct to Owners in India?

A certain agent maybe ... allegedly

Further turmoil , wonder what fabricated statement the club will put out now, now that VH London are under investigation

They are being thoroughly investigated that' for sure but it seems the football club side of it isn't breaking any rules, everything else is though.

Pure incompetence that just sums them up to a tee it's no wonder they get very little right when it comes to running rovers. Everything done on a whim i bet the real number of pointless investments they've been involved in down the years could buy a small nation.

Just sell the club and get the hell away from us once and for all !

Well, it’s definitely not going anyway anytime soon.

Time to sell up 🐓 

[tomphil]

So we'll need to raise 15 million next year from somewhere by the looks of it because it looks like they are now totally screwed for sending cash.

Terrific ownership isn't it, f#ck the club up, keep throwing tens of millions at it keep it going but in turn keep on f####g it up.

It has to end somehow someday surely?

[Norbert Rassragr]

Jim Radcliffe can save himself a load of money and buy us instead of a minority of Man Utd. We don't expect Champions League football every season, or have an over paid team under performing, great academy......

With INEOS money we could be like Brighton or Brentford. It makes sense in some ways.

Mind you if the Rao's did sell, we'd end up with some crypto bro and that Bassini in charge.

I'm game for anything at this point.

There is no moving forward whilst venkys are here.

Could this now be the beginning of the end. Reading this, seems to suggest that yet more properly has been seized.

Given the shit being fed about the tax changes, that were responsible for the project changing and no funds being available, perhaps now is the time for someone  to come clean.

This is looking pretty serious to me now, so a touch of mortgage fraud, or a tiny bit of tax avoidance, will no longer wash.

Assuming that the ED are now really onto them, will the next tranche of funds , to pay the wages and general running of the club, be forthcoming?.

I guess we now know why Waggott really closed the Blackburn end, there were no funds to pay the wages of the staff required?

His PA could be busy over the next few days, replying to fans E Mails, to tell us, that there is nothing to see here. 
 

I wonder when we will be opening an account with Uber to get the players to the next away match, after our new coach gets snatched back, or when the website mysteriously goes down again, or even the phone lines.

This feels like BIG trouble now. 

[AllRoverAsia]

I wonder if the IRS are interested .........

But where would we be without them,...........

Hopefully that is the case. 

Sometimes it is really difficult to put into words just how fucking stupid that question is.

How much would Rovers be worth in the current market?

Reading are about to be sold for £50m and they’re a league one club. Albeit the potential buyer is a bit of a wrong’en 😂

[lraC]

If the below, copied form the article does not worry EVERY Rovers fan, then what will.

 

ED initiated an investigation in connection with the illegal remittances made by the company from 2010 to date to it's wholly owned subsidiary, named Venky's London Limited Cardiff UK.

Yet they were still advertising about 4 various roles across the club so there can't be no cash at all otherwise surely cutbacks would effect everything.

The closure of the BBE for that game imo was just Waggot being opportunistic whilst having excuse to do something he'll have wanted to do for years.

All to save about 2 grand.

About what they paid for it, including probably similar external debt but we are now of course one big fixed asset less.

Just wait until the that gets investigated !

I have just sent this.

 

Dear Steve, 

Further to my E Mail of 27/09/2023 I write to further express my concerns about the very future of our club. 

I note to date, I have not received an E Mail to my original post, but maybe that is due to the IT issues the club have recently experienced. 

The biggest reason for this follow up E Mail, is due to several articles that have appeared recently in the Indian press, an example of which, there is a link to below. 

https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/ed-seizes-immovable-properties-worth-over-rs-24-cr-of-venkateshwara-hatcheries-under-fema-provisions20231009204844/ 

When reading the bit highlighted here ED initiated an investigation in connection with the illegal remittances made by the company from 2010 to date to it's wholly owned subsidiary, named Venky's London Limited Cardiff UK.  I am filled with absolute dread. 

I wonder if you could take the time to respond to this, as I am sure, the club will need to provide the loyal fans with an update, as news like this spreads amongst the fan base. 

I guess rumours are bound to circulate about the real reason for certain recent cuts being made, in particular, the reported change of the “project” of the club and things like the closure of the Blackburn end for the recent cup fixture.

No doubt that was done before the article was written.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps even Waggott wasn't aware of this.

He is now.
