Venky's are a disgrace

[Hutchy]

Two questions from the above LET article.
1) Who is Duncan Maguire?
2) What is the revisionism on JDTs tenure?

1) American striker who Rovers were going to sign for anywhere between £3.5m-£5m. The deal was cancelled whilst the striker was mid flight on his way to England to sign. He arrives in the UK anyway. They then try to sign him on loan with an obligation to buy for £5m. The deal is botched at the last minute due to a spelling/paperwork/admin 'error'. This left Jon Dahl Tomasson fuming and wanting an immediate exit. Similar to what has happened with Eustace over the past two days.

2) The revisionism relates to a false narrative that started going around after JDT left. The narrative that JDT was a troublemaker, he was arrogant, he was selfish, only in it for himself, he let the club down, the club is better off without him etc. This was being perpetuated by so called ITK accounts and a couple of puppet journalists. The revisionism sought to make the club hierarchy look like the good guys and victims, while JDT was bad.

If any of you have seen the Rovers statement today on Eustace's exit, it is a disgrace. Check it out. They are trying to put the blame on Eustace for being unreasonable, saying he was backed with "significant investment", which is total ********. A journo has come out tonight saying Eustace always wanted to leave, he got the players he wanted, the club backed him but he still moaned etc. Basically portraying him as the bad guy. It's happening again.

That's what point (2) means in terms of revisionism. It has already started in regards Eustace.

When Derby nick Mr Eustace, why don't you tempt Weasel Coyle back from India for a second stint?

Seriously? We're doing just fine with Scott Parker, Buxton. Coyle got a bit lucky here the first time round, if we're being honest. He would be a disaster today.

Half their squad out of contract in the summer from what I read so really could be all or nothing for them. The last chance saloon so to speak.

Really depends on how desperate they are.

From recent reports quoting previous managers its not an easy place to manage with little or no support.

Rooney would snap their hand off though.

Perfect match up.

Didn't Rooney take Birmingham from a play-off position to relegation after taking over from Eustace? Sounds like the man for the job.

You didn't though did you? You chose it.

Personally, if we don't manage auto would love to destroy them over 2 legs with our fully fit squad. Would play 1- (Esteve) - 4 - 5

We are looking tasty going forwards now.

[Woonderbah]

Eustace now confirmed

[FCBurnley]

Venkys are clearly great owners. Got rid Eustace for 500 k and then went to West Brom and won 2-0 Looking solid for the play offs with a big possibility of facing us !!!!

There last month of games could be where they drop out some big tough fixtures against teams chasing the play offs/autos

[jlup1980]

It's a remarkable turn of events. Whatever the reasons, for Eustace to choose to leave a club in play-off contention for one in the bottom 4 is very odd. Surely his stock is higher getting a club into the play-offs than it is keeping Derby in the league?

Reading the post match comments it seems like a lot of the pre-match was about creating a siege mentality and that definitely helped them yesterday. Still a great result unfortunately.

Everyone below the top four are mediocre at best. The fact that bastards are currently the best of this bunch of pap and gap to the top four should tell you this.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Some proper quality names on the list for the new manager

Ryan Lowe
Richie Wellens
Damien Duff
Ian Evatt

1 manager not on the list but would be perfect for them is the vile odious arsehole Steve Evans at Rotherham, never has a manager and fanbase been more compatible

It is an indicator of how bad the mess is upstairs at Rovers that he wants to get out as soon as possible. It was the same for Jon Dahl Tomasson. They failed to give Eustace assurances about future investment and his own contract situation. They failed to tell him their plan and aims for the club going forward. Their yes men axed Arnor Sigurdsson from the 25 man squad in shameful fashion, making Eustace look like a knob. Eustace had earlier told Sigurdsson in the Jan window that he was a part of his plans and that he would play an important role in the play off chase. Window closes and Rovers are one man over the 25 limit. Somebody has to be left out. They axe Sigurdsson and tell him on the Friday after the window shuts, a player Eustace wanted to keep. Sigurdsson is fuming and does an interview with Scandinavian press saying the club has acted dishonestly towards him and he can't believe he's left in limbo like this as Eustace told him he had a key role to play. He's one of the highest earners at Rovers, some are suggesting this could be a move to push him out. Some foreign transfer windows are still open, but he doesn't have much choice as to where he goes, does he? The rumour is that this was what tipped Eustace over the edge, on top of the other issues. He knows these clowns aren't serious about promotion. If it happens, it will be in spite of them. That might explain the need to get out immediately, regardless of Derby being bottom three. He must believe he can keep them up.

An impressive win last night for sure and they are all buzzing today, but it shouldn't deflect away from the real issue at that club. As soon as Venky's leave, they will be back in the Prem. They aren't too far away as it stands, but they keep on being dragged back down by that ownership.

[Hutchy]

It is, but they put in a heck of a performance last night to make it look comfortable. Credit where it's due, West Brom barely had a sniff.

I'm sure there must be forums for you and the rest of your fan base(small forum admittedly), they won't be back in the prem when the Venkys leave, they'd be in a bigger world of sh1t today if it wasn't for the Venkys.

As soon as the Venkys leave, you’ll be in administration.

I’ve yet to hear from any Rovers fan who will be plugging the financial black hole if Venkys stop funding them. They seem to think they have a god given right to a Jack Walker figure.

A few of our fans have (rightly, imo) been accused of a sense of entitlement this season, but Rovers are next-level entitled. Here are some foreign investors who have ploughed millions into the club for years, and all they get in return is a load of abuse.

You should be down on your knees thanking your chosen deity for the generosity of the Venkys every night.

There have been several rumours that the Venky’s have turned down approaches from American investors, Jamariqui(sp) and even Asda… all off a drunk sat in the pub and turned into gospel in the retelling. No one wants the house of cards that Jack turned from a well run club into money guzzling albatross once his trust fund ran out.

I'm sorry to say, Greenmile, but you and many on here and thousands of others out there, have been hoodwinked by the "funding" propaganda surrounding Venky's.

EVERY owner in the Championship is funding their respective clubs. Yet it is only Venky's that a fuss is made about, which everybody here gladly jumps on to say "ah, benefactor, bastards". How much of that "funding" have they put towards transfers since 2010? They are covering losses that they (Venky's) have caused via a catalogue of terrible decisions from day one of the takeover.

Relegating a stable Premier League club and doing nothing in 12 years to return the club to where they found it. Treating manager after manager like crap. Not giving a damn about sitting in the top 6, botched transfers and so. You think any that's of that's worthy of praise and gratitude? Ruining a top flight club and not giving a damn about it means they deserve all the hate they get.

Craig Hemmings and the Lady Revitt are putting in around £10m a year into PNE every year to cover their losses. Nobody says a word about it. Nobody says "why are the Nobbers wanting Hemmings out, they would be bust without Hemmings' money".

This argument about "who's going to fund them if Venky's go" is a nonsense. Who's going to fund Stoke if the Coates Family leave? Who's going to fund Boro if Steve Gibson leaves? Owning a club is the game of the very, very rich.

There are a number of parties interested in buying Rovers. All have been knocked back. Only two months ago Venky's turned an interested party away. You make it sound as though nobody but Venky's could ever cover these losses. Wrong. There are many that could. They are waiting for Venky's to put the 'for sale' sign up.

[Hutchy]

If Venky's are such fantastic and generous owners...how many of you would genuinely have them as owners of the Clarets?

Something tells me the India flags would be nowhere to be seen in the face of such a scenario.

Of course, because I know as soon as Venky's leave it spells trouble for the rest of us. Despite the animosity and rivalry, it is true that their club has been poisoned and held back for the last 15 years.
