I would not for one minute doubt that, bit would think mortgage fraud anywhere in the world, would be pretty serious. Given that Barclays have been mentioned and perhaps funding secured on a UK property, that would fall under UK law too and as already mentioned, is a very serious matter.

If found guilty of mortgage fraud, a defendant faces up to 12 months in jail and a fine on summary conviction, or, on indictment, to imprisonment for a maximum jail term of 10 years and/or a fine. I am a professional mortgage broker, so know this inside out.

With a few £million to spare as a result of some rather dubious business dealings, what better place to spend it, than on a football club. Things do eventually catch up with people, as we saw with Abramovich and with this story too. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lancashire-65653943

This has almost certain hit the light of day in the past, but seeing as I have never seen it, thought now might be a good time to bring it back out. Venky’s-owned Rovers confirm arrest of player on fixing charges - Hindustan Times

I am sure someone on here can provide pretty accurate number and a detailed account of what has happened.

If anyone thinks this is too small to matter, if you call HMRC and admit that you have understated your income by around £5k per year for the last 5 years, sit back and see what happens. Tax evasion, money laundering and fraud, are all serious offences, irrespective of the amounts. For these who are still a little unclear about what can happen to an owner of a football club, getting involved in this sort of activity, check out where the Fleetwood FC owner Andrew Piley, currently resides.

The cash injections appear to have stopped don't they. With the CEO celebrating paying the wages and hiring a bus, then it looks to me like every month is about to become a struggle. I hope I can pay my mortgage, bills and keep my vehicle on the road, without the need for a handout this month.

Again, wild theories abound about what has to some, seemed like a deliberate relegation and then a reluctance to make it back to the prem. Your theory, would make sense with a desire to also keep out of the limelight and plod along in the second or third tier. After all a club the size of Rovers, away from the bright lights of the prem, attracts almost no global exposure. A perfect foil to do this sort of thing.

Lots of people have been lambasted for suggesting things such as money laundering was at the center of all this. Granted there have been some far fetched theories, but it has never made sense them owning us. I also suspect this is the tip of the iceberg too, but hopefully, this will grow and a proper investigation will now take place. Hopefully the club will not suffer too much, as after all the club is the fans ultimately and a hardcore of these fans, did try their very best to show, not only the sports authorities, but the wider government, that there were big issue with the purchase and running of the club. The cover up took place and maybe now, finally the truth is starting to come out.

It could be another dose of bad advice.

It won’t be that bad!!!! Money laundering is a very serious offense and could lead to the perpetrators being jailed. https://samistilegal.in/powers-of-the-enforcement-directorate-under-various-laws-and-the-rights-of-the-accused-aggrieved-persons/#:~:text=As per Section 6 of,a fugitive offender or not.

Glad to see our friends down the road got pumped by my favorite score line, on the day we played Plymouth.

It would be interesting if they did one now, with the manager involved. I get the impression JDT would not wax lyrical, like Mowbray did and turn it into a love in. I’m sure some proper feathers would be ruffled and perhaps a few home truths would come out.

It seems to be an impossible task, getting Suhail out from under his rock to face the music. If anyone has any ideas, post on here. There must be some way, we can apply some pressure.

Shipped out to a club so desperate, they are flogging 10 year season tickets. Dont tell Waggott though, or we will start selling 15 year ones.

If JDT does not fancy him, then he doesn’t pick him. I guess that then makes him a pointless signing. The truth of the matter is, if things are still being run in the same way that they have in the past, then he might be made to play certain players. I keep on hoping things have changed, but it seems like they never do.

He got clattered when he bravely headed a dangerous ball away.

I think you have been badly advised posting that.

I remember it well. Sweet revenge arrived later, as we sent them home with their tails between their legs. I think that win put us top and we stayed their until the end of the season after that. My first taste of promotion, as a fan.

As JDT is at pains to point out in his interviews, he is as much in the dark as the fans. With the radio silence at the club, ever since the owners arrived, there is very little chance of anything other than the same again.

What’s all this about? Who are they all?

They all arrived on the train actually. Not too sure if it was subsidised, but for some reason, it arrived early morning and all their fans went on the rampage in the town centre. You are quite right about the green paint.
