They bought Rovers because of Balaji's relationship with Jerome Anderson and the other family members accepted the pitch without doing enough homework. 

A business that size which is serious about global reach wouldn't be so zero committed

 

In one of her first interviews the woman Venky talked about spending £5m per window and 'leasing' players. Deary me the Walker Trust were spending more than that. They have never been committed, to them we were a vanity project that now hangs like an albatross around their grubby necks.

And still they won't sell us.

A vanity project that just happened to have global exposure for their massive business expansion plans.

Brought about by con artists, snakes and serpents fortunate enough to have access to the most gullible pot of gold in football history.

Crazy thing is had it worked and had the right people been involved it could have been fantastic for the club but sadly everybody involved were looking at what THEY had to gain, not the club.

Walkers and those at the club selling it 100% included in that !

It was easy money for them, why actually work at the job when you don’t have to ?

And still they walk among us (from comments on BBC match report)…

Absolute fucking retards.

Total fucking embarrassment to the club and the those of who have the capacity to think.

I've encountered amoeba with more brain power than these morons.

To paraphrase Christopher Hitchens: If you gave them an enema, they'd fit in a matchbox.

They seem fairly representative of the fanbase (away from brfcs, of course).

They have never been as popular as they are at the moment, can’t remember the last time I heard a dissenting voice towards them at Ewood.

Well that's just disgustful.

Lol.

No, not disgustful, disgracing 🤣

That isn’t the holding company, it’s the one which owns the training ground.

It’s probably to buy a house somewhere.

That’s correct, that’s the company that owns the training ground, probably the final portion of the payment due to the club for the sale of the training ground.

However, does this then mean that the restrictions on Venkys sending money to overseas group companies have been lifted? It would appear so.

It may well just be money that was sent a while ago being turned into equity.

Quite possibly.

Or the whole tale about government restrictions was a load of bollocks.

We should have pulled the plug on the deal as soon as they started talking about what Rovers could do for the Venkys brand instead of the other way around. It was clear fromt the start, as you say, that the club was only bought to bolster the image of the owner.

Sadly Jack's family wanted the moolah and couldn't get their hands on the Rupees quick enough.

Venture capitalists typically take equity stakes themselves so they can have a say in how the business is operated, as opposed to lending money to the current owners for them to issue more shares.
