Blackburn Rovers bidder denies investment firm closure report
11:50am Tuesday 31st August 2010 in News
DENIAL: Ahsan Ali Syed
THE INDIAN tycoon bidding to takeover Blackburn Rovers has vehemently denied reports he has been ordered to close down his foreign investment company.
BBC 5 Live last night claimed Ahsan Ali Syed was ordered to fold his Bahrain-based firm Western Gulf Advisory for ‘violating the laws and regulations of Bahrain’.
Five Live alleged action was taken against Mr Syed’s firm amid suspicions WGA was acting on behalf of a ‘hidden investor’.
But in a statement this morning, Mr Syed said: “There is no hidden investor or any outside wealth involved in any way in the investment activities of Western Gulf Advisory (‘WGA’).
"All our investments are based on our own financial resources and strength, and I am the sole shareholder of the company.
“The Bahraini authorities have asked for clarification on WGA’s investment activities and we are co-operating fully with their enquiries.
"Our Bahrain business is a separate entity to our European businesses such as Western Gulf Advisory AG, based in Switzerland, which have been responsible for executing most of WGA’s current investments, such as J&M McCabe in Ireland and Landmark in Australia.
"WGA’s investments are always made by one of its European entities and this will also be the case for the potential takeover of Blackburn Rovers.
"Our Bahrain business is a separate entity which is not involved in investment activities of WGA at all and has in fact very limited scope of activities.”
Last night, when asked whether he had been ordered to close down his foreign investment company, Syed's spokesperson Julia Thiem said: “No he hasn't. We do deny that.
“There is no hidden investor and I don't know where these stories come from. It is all very easily checked legally.”
The spokesperson said Swiss-based Western Gulf Advisory AG was making their investments, including the proposed £300million takeover of Blackburn Rovers.
Ms Thiem added: “Let me emphasise again that Bahrain is a separate entity that has got nothing to do with our investment activities at all.
“In fact this entity has got a very limited scope of activities.
“With regard to the purchase of Blackburn Rovers, our European investment team is handling the negotiations with the advisors of the Jack Walker trust which are proceeding very well. “

The bbc is an outdated, corrupt and biased organisation. Just watch motd for 10 minutes a week and you'd quickly learn that.
Isn't it a remarkable coincidence. This WGA company has existed perfectly well for years and has made hundreds of millions in profit. As soon as blackburn and money get mentioned in the same sentence as WGA and this organisation is all of a sudden being 'shut down' for mysterious reasons.
Sounds more to me like a desperate attempt by very jealous and worried people in the media to try and put a stop to this takeover however possible, and now they've had a couple of weeks to concoct some ****-and-bull story about our prospective new owners. I wonder why no such research was carried out by the bbc into the activities of man city's owners and their human rights track records before that takeover went through.
I'm still struggling to comprehend that our tv licence fees are paying for the likes of adrian goldberg to go out and write malicious stories about our club and possible investors.
So yes, i am absolutely convinced the bbc do have a vendetta against the smaller clubs (being dominated by spurs/liverpool supporters) and wouldn't trust the london media as far as i could throw them.

why oh why would the bbc have any vendetta against tiny blackburn?.....i dont recall anything about them making accusations about rovers lack of black players under jack. but now they are merely reporting a potential suitor has a problem with a company he supposedly owns.
.
there is nothing in it for them to have a go at rovers, it doesn't count for anything to them.
.
if it is "outdated, corrupt and biased" who would you prefer to garner your news from. Sky? ITV? Sun? Telegraph? Times? Mirror? Twitter? Facebook?
.
WTF has match of the day got to do with it? They rarely, if ever, speak about the running of a club - granted we are not normally first on, but you must accept we are not the most attractive option for an impartial viewer. Equally is it any surprise that we were towards the bottom of live game revenue for Sky last season, they can smell a turd when there is one.
.
"Jealous and worried" - - i hope you remember your words when this all goes t!ts up.
.
tell me - could you give me any details about mr.syed and how he has made his billions....what is the nature of his business? he has a trading company - trading in what exactly? as a business analyst i am sure you can tell me exactly eaht he does.....give me the benefit of your received wisdom....what does he trade in?
.
10 years ago these people would have said "a bit of import, a bit of export" and now as a "trading company" we are meant to think it is a legitimate and trustworthy business. he trades in snake oil and have no doubt.
.
Remember Alan Stanford - just because they turn up in a fancy merc - don't mean it has been paid for.....Sam Walton drove a pick-up all his working life.

As Hasslem has stated "why would the BBC have a vendetta against Blackburn?"
.
All the BBC is doing is reporting facts:
"A company run by the man linked to the proposed £300m takeover of Blackburn Rovers has been told to cease trading.
Bahrain's trade and industry ministry said it closed a Bahrain-based company after it violated regulations by operating outside its remit.
BBC 5 live has learned the company is Western Gulf Advisory, run by Indian investor Ahsan Ali Syed."

I suggest you get the rather large chip off your shoulder and stop believing everything he wants you to hear

The BBC are all we have standing between us and a Fox-Sky dumbed down vacuous neo-con future. It should be treasured.

Vinjay - don't you even start trying to take any moral high ground. I can destroy your arguments. The expression "smell a turd" is a common expression and in this case is a regeence to the dour football tat rovers are currently playing both in stlye, percentages, dead-ball obsessed and low goal yield. Sky are contractually obliged to show all prem clubs a set number of times and can then pick and choose other games to fill their schedules. Sky currently show a minimum number of Rovers games to fulfill its obligation (for reasons explained above) and given its obsession with maximising viewing amongst its target demographic (male 16-55, all social classes but primarily c1,c2,d,e) will not show us anymore than is legal obligation.
.
If you dont know the expression - don't blame me for your ignorance. And how can you make such accusations when you practically accuse the Walker family of being the Great Train Robbers, Brinx Matt thieves, Dick Turpin and Guy Fawkes all rolled into one. You have a bloody nerve.
.
Everybody, all is good in the world -vinjay is going to send Julia Thiem an e-mail.
.
How you getting on with Rovers this season - you must be reeling with us getting knocked out of league cup as you dont recognise goals by Diouf as he is a united player - and the fact that Arsenal beat us 2-0 on saturday.

There have been seasons in the past where Rovers have been higher in regards to live sky game selection. Remember too that with espn (and before that setanta) around Sky are obviously going to show clubs outside the top 4-6 less.

1) elephant man lawrensen, who never has anything even remotely positive to say about rovers.
.
2) emily bishop's kid - who accused rovers of racism when williams fired ince.

#1s rantings are those fo an old pro who whilst he was playing was a good player but in reality when he gives us his expert insights just reverts to trying some pathetic puns - the worst commentator/summaris
er/expert on tv (sorry forgot alan green)...correction second worse.
#2 - no idea why oliver bishop hates rovers....but it verges on the realms of OCD.

I recognise the hard work which led to the win over Norwich and the equaliser against Arsenal. Wasn't it said that he was subbed because he was too tired to continue? Pathetic really isn't it? Too lazy more like maybe he might do all the hard work for once for his next goal.

this is not an anti-allardyce rant...it is just that we are not an attractive proposition for sky as invariably our goals are low scoring we rarely get a hatful and nowadays we rarely concede a hatful. if we lost by 6 every week we would be higher up the programme schedule on motd. equally if we played a more "beautiful" game we would be on sky more.

IF, and its quite a big IF from where I look, Syed is on the level, and has the well being of the club at heart, it will come out in the fit and proper analysis. If he is yet another of the power hungry low lifes that are infesting football at the moment, then he will hopefully be kicked into touch.
however much you think the BBC is somehow biased against the Rovers, at least we know where they are and how to contact them. I have a feeling that Syed may disappear back to where he came from. Hope I'm wrong, but there is seldom smoke without fire.

I am fortunate to have lived London, Sheffield, Brimingham, Manchester and Liverpool....During that time I have met and made mates with supporters of every current premiership side with the exception of Wolves.
.
All club's supporters think there is a media bias against them - that includes all the big clubs. Speak to a United fan, City or Scouse fan (of either colour) Mackems think exactly the same as us as do Bluenoses at St. Andrews. Even the beloved Spuds and Weztam think that they get rubbish comments and coverage. It is the lot of the football supporter to think that everybody gves them a bum rap.
.
It happens in Poilitics - Labour (principally Alastair Campbell) claim that there is an anti-labour bias. Tories claim BBC is full of pinkos and LibDems always claim they a ridiculed and don't get a fair hearing.
.
My own view if that Labour, Tories and LibDems all claim that the BBC is ant-them......then it must be reasonably balanced and if it is annoying them all - then it is doing a pretty good job. Same in football

How much do parachute payments amount to these days? £16 million a year i last heard.

What i find completely unacceptable is that the bbc have taken it upon themselves (once again, remember panorama?) to indulge in what is nothing more than pure speculation at this moment in time.
The bbc should not be doing this. Nor should they be employing somebody like adrian goldberg (using licence payers' money) to go out and 'investigate' bahrainian companies, regardless of their links to rovers.
The bbc was set up to 'inform and educate' 88 years ago, and to be 'impartial and honest'. It's a terrible pity that what should be a national treasure has deteriorated into such a state, and even having read the so-called investigation i'm still waiting to see any proof in there.

I can't believe some people are so Cavalier with our clubs future.
Syed's pitch was dodgy from day 1.
First we had the claims he was a fan, straight from the Mike Ashley book of football club ownership.
Then we had the "I'm not in it to make money, its my passion... however in a few years I'll find a way to make money"
He was going to increase stadium capacity, which anyone with even an ounce of sense can see is ridiculous.
Then he was going to sign Beckham.
Now this...
Alarm bells should be ringing in each and every person who gives a toss about Rovers' head.
No doubt people like Vinjay/Kick it out (one and the same) will mention Abramovich or the Sheikh at City... how about Shinawatra, Glazer, Hicks, Gillett, Al Fahim, Batchelor, Mandric, Briatore, Ashley, Hammann, Romanov, Bates, Magnusson... the list is endless!

Potential Rovers owner Ashan Ali Syed has spoken this morning about last night's allegations that his Bahrain foreign investment company has been forced to close.
He seems to have set the record straight by saying he is merely complying with Bahrain Authorities and that there is no outside investor other than the man himself.
In a statement this morning, Mr Syed told the Lancashire Telegraph - "There is no hidden investor or any outside wealth involved in any way in the investment activities of Western Gulf Advisory ('WGA`).
'All our investments are based on our own financial resources and strength, and I am the sole shareholder of the company.
"The Bahraini authorities have asked for clarification on WGA`s investment activities and we are co-operating fully with their enquiries.
'Our Bahrain business is a separate entity to our European businesses such as Western Gulf Advisory AG, based in Switzerland, which have been responsible for executing most of WGA`s current investments, such as J&M McCabe in Ireland and Landmark in Australia.
'WGA`s investments are always made by one of its European entities and this will also be the case for the potential takeover of Blackburn Rovers.
'Our Bahrain business is a separate entity which is not involved in investment activities of WGA at all and has in fact very limited scope of activities."

Syed's pitch was dodgy from day 1.
First we had the claims he was a fan, straight from the Mike Ashley book of football club ownership.
Then we had the "I'm not in it to make money, its my passion... however in a few years I'll find a way to make money"
He was going to increase stadium capacity, which anyone with even an ounce of sense can see is ridiculous.
Then he was going to sign Beckham.

His value depends on which report you read anywhere between 275 million to 8 billion which is a big difference. If he has 8 billion he would appear on the Forbes Rich list which he doesn't therefore I'm more inclined to believe it is less than 1 billion.
.
I think the only thing we are certain of is that we don't know how much money he is worth.
.
The only other thing we know for certain is that his Bahrain company is under investigation. As stated by the "bias" BBC.

Whether he actually has any money or not is a different question.

The business history of his family (for which you also have no evidence) is also a different question.

As is the question of whether he will pass the "fit and proper" person test, an enquiry that hasn't even been started by the Premier League as no papers have been lodged with them.
