Consideration is that they have done a plea deal and the next date is for sentence ? Just another scenario

Hence why have suggested it was a paper exercise agreed outside of the court arena. It happens in every court in the land - Russia China and N Korea excepted- if that is the case then it wouldn’t have got on in court. No one at this point, not even the esteemed Rev who has vast experience of court processes, knows what went on outside of the court room. I have not read anything that suggests any scenario painted on here so far. I think now that Swag will not release a statement himself it will be words attributed to another! The very fact venkys asked for the hearing leads me to the above conclusion. The fact the case is later in the year suggests a trial or judgement ruling.

IF they have been successful in removing this order then that is why the case didn’t go on today - it was a paper exercise - it’s as simple as that! IF they had the order continued they would have appealed and it would have been heard. My take is that there will be an agreement in place and what that is we don’t yet know. here’s hoping eh ?

As with all cases there will have been agreements come to BEFORE it go j to the court room hence it is likely that Venkys may have got their wishes - if it had been a negative then there would have been legal arguments! The hearing will be the trial date which is unrelated to todays court hearing as has been outlined!

I don’t think the Indian government can force venkys to sell or give Rovers up or away ! India is not a dictatorship !! In my view and as I understand it the accusation is a tax avoidance charge and bearing in mind financial rules changed in 2022 i think it’s more likely they will have to pay the due tax and a fine as well as being monitored for a few years about tax payments. So I wouldn’t be getting all Giddy giddy giddy😵‍💫

My basic take on this issue is this UNLESS your a paid up member of WATR you should NOT expect anything by demand! Be grateful that these supporters do what they do, free and for the love of the club - they do not in anyway deserve criticism or demands by timelines🤬

The books are open and have been since they took over - the FA - EPL before - have to see them every season so it’s a mute point you make. There is NO money laundering through Rovers and BRFC are not under investigation NOR are they linked to anything Venkys have done with their Indian tax returns!

It’s utter bollocks as usual! A non committal story that’s worth faff all! Any decent reporter would have dug a bit further rather than announce such tripe - truth is not one bid has been made, there are nor have been offers for over 4 years and any enticement into investment was initially offered then taken off the table !!

What is the difference in funding Rovers from India whilst funding and having large business interests in the USA and Europe?

a few snap shots KHOD Really disappointed with the manager with those substitutions. Might as well have thrown a white towel on the pitch and walked off. Before those two substitutions we were competing really well. Okay, we have limitations but swapping a CB for another when needing a goal? Literally what is the point? Those substitutions The subs were crap but that says more about our shite squad than Eustace. And with them subs there goes the game Markanday coming on - Eustace waving the white flag Koumetio is a bombscare What on earth was the non-league level Liverpool lad doing then. They’ll be targeting him until the end if they have any sense Koumetio. Good grief he is poor The kid at left back looks like he has won a comp in the LET. Awful

Fans lamenting last nights performance need to give their bloody heads a wobble. NUFC squad/team last night was valued at some £250m with quality across the park versus a team that cost no more than £5m. Rovers battled each to a man, it was an impressive effort greatly appreciated by the fans in the ground, hence the reason why they were applauded off the pitch. I left feeling proud to be a Rover which hasn't been the case for a good while. Even the Geordie fans I met were remarking just how unlucky we were. The roof lifted when SS equalised, if only we can recreate that atmosphere for the few home games that we have left. Time to back the team!

Ball throwing cretins you embarrassed yourself - 15 balls and a limp chant - my advice organise it properly or stay away it was laughable from a home supporter point of view and that from those want them out

Despite the team line up it’s a match to back the bloody team - yes barcodes are overwhelming favourites but miracles do happen - just not under venkys 😅

It might not be good on the eye however a point away in a six pointer isn’t too bad a return imo. 3 points is massive but Rovers don’t seem able to produce a bit of quality going forward to open a chance of scoring

Hats off to EVERYONE who attended the meeting, you all had the same objective in mind, your love and care of BRFC.

Irac the dates were put back in relation to the investigation NOT release of funding to BRFC.

Of course there is but there hasn’t! In fact some original allegations have been removed, two amended with a request to discharge a further allegation. On that basis the court will continue to approve and it’s a simple paper exercise. venkys will provide a scapegoat as well as having political support so fat balaji won’t see the inside of a cell. Indian authorities still deal in brown envelopes! the reporter who uncovered the saga hasn’t made anymore such allegations since! Maybe he has received such a brown envelope since🤫🤫🤫

Reading this from my hotel in Singapore ! GMs comments seem to be constantly ignored, there has not been any winding up order issued it’s as simple as 1-2-3. To date, despite what is uttered or written in here, no one has the gumption to properly organise a March of disdain/remove Waggot or venkys in fact some suggestions are imbecilic such as pitch invasions! Those who think admin is the way forward think again! It isn’t an option. The suggestion Rovers will have buyers is again living in cuckoo land. Venkys are ripe for a picking at this time and I believe IF there was a credible potential buyer out there there would be bids, reality is there is not! Rovers are not under suspicion nor is the venky link to the club part of it, their issue are tax related issues to personal property purchases ie the purchase of a property and land through their business books NOT Rovers. Those hoping for a court turnaround, a precedent is in place meaning unless the court sees a major issue nothing will change! Looking forward to reading about organisational and positives in taking the protest forwards.

Some members need to understand that any Indian investigation does not nor can it include anything to do with the football club - its is a tax related issue for Venkys in their country - I repeat what I said a few months ago IF Rovers were being investigated on the back of some related issue then the SFO would have raided Ewood and Brockhall and taken away every bit of paper linked to thenfootballmoperation - the offices of Venkys would have been stripped bare - none of this has happened nor will it happen in the future ! The Indian courts like UK and European courts work with precedents and on that basis there is little chance of the courts declining another request by the venkys UNLESS there is credible evidence of misuse of the funds that were released! By all accounts a number of allegations have been discharged some have been watered down and their defence seems to be holding out - whatever the defence is sounding get over excited about a RAO getting bummed in an Indian gaol!

You forgot to add the most important aspect of their footballing operation. They used an algorithm to scout their talent ensuring they got the best results from players who were relatively unknown and then working with their results ensuring a much better return both within the initial investment and when selling a player - Rovers have the ability to operate similarly but are hamstrung by the indecision and current processes they use from the owners - if they removed that obstacle then I am certain our footballing operation would be enhanced

Yes I have had a recent meeting with him and I expect another soon

All that matters is that We won

I’ve defended Leo on the back of some fabulous saves however today that was truly fucking awful goalkeeping - this team seems disjointed and just don’t see anRovwrs comeback on the cards even though Huddersfield are awful

Didn’t deserve that to be honest - those berating Leo get a grip - same for those slagging the bench we are decimated by injuries and the bench is testament to our academy Almost 18k well done to all merry Christmas

Refreshing to see plenty of faces around Ewood - concourses in JW packed solid. Venkys Waggot and co take note The Fans matter as you can see - get it right for once and for all
