Venky's: Blackburn Rovers have bid for Ronaldinho (From Lancashire Telegraph)

really?

Anuradha Desai - 2 months ago - source the indian times. do you think her motivies have altered?! so fecking stupid you rovers fans, i did feel sorry for your situation, now i think you deserve to see your club ruined by these chicken farmers.

Venky's is owned by the V.H. Group, which Desai said was buying Blackburn to gain international publicity.

"Football is a global craze and as the V.H. Group globalizes, setting up feed plants and hatcheries around the world, we believe we can benefit from being owners of a major football club," Desai said. "It will help build our brand."

who gives a f@ck what you think??
this the same sky sports who told us maradonna was our next manager? And if you watch it it is just confirmed over a series of phone calls which basically means its prob all rumours.
Even their transfer page says it is just speculation/ rumour.
Anyway, if it is true whats to complain about? better then last few years where all we do is sell our top players

looking forward rather than behind.. good news is we are actually in the market to buy a player and NOT sell one.. good news

Well, we wanted a playmaker!

Down side is that this proves beyond doubt that John Williams is surplus to requirements unfortunately. Venkys have obviously made this bid without him.

Upside is...positive publicity and £5m? Aye, alright. Wasn't convinced that wad true anyway, a bid of £6m plus wages proves that.

were you old enough to remember when jack walker said we were not selling shearer and he even came with the new rovers top to advertise it..then he sold him.. this is football media enjoy the ride as we are buying and not selling..

He's only coming for the Samba.

All i want as a Rovers fan is Premiership mediocrity. I'd rather Robbie Keane and David Bentley - Our only competition should be for a place in Europe. 6th spot.
These Venky's lot are a nightmare.

Certainly an exhilerating time to be a Rovers fan.....Ronaldinho even being vaguely linked with the Rovers is a fantastic piece of news! People will be reading and watching the news about this all over the globe right now, that is how big this news is. I dont think that anything will come of it - but well done the club for thinking BIG!

My fellow Blackburn fans. I want to assure you that I want to make our great club into the champions league. I do not want to make up any number in the Premier League. I am looking forward to hearing the atmosphere again against Liverpool and want to meet some of you. I cannot say too much but it is an exciting time to be a follower of Blackburn.

look forward not back..

Kin laughable owners, talk about raising the profile of the poultry farmers and not the club.

Joke owners

Did anyone else think "My god how stoned do you look?" at his picture on the home page?

Ok ok who the fukc is this lmao.
Probably a dingle.
Ronaldinho will not be coming to Blackburn. He once turned Man U down cos he said it was too cold here.
This is all a publicity stunt for venkeys.
They think Rovers fans are muppets who belive anything they say like the indian peasants who live in shanti towns outside Bombay.

rubbish. BRFC are being broadcast worldwide today! we have brought in world class players in the past, why not now?

Have venky's slipped a couple of grand to Ronaldinho's agents to say Rovers are interested in him??
Probably and either way good publicity!

I cant believe all the negativity and critisim towards the new owners!
they`ve just made a bid for ronaldiniho!!
He`s still a fantastic player who`d probably get in any premier league team! He`ll attract other players to the club, and get more people at ewood! we urgently need a creative midfielder, he`d be a brazilian tugay. The new owners have said they want to take us forward, now the transfer window is open lets give them the opportunity and stop whining about them, we should get behind them and the team , i think this would be an excellent signing for us! having said they only had 5 mill to spend, thats probably a tactic so they dont get ripped off for every player they bid for, just like city do! cumon you blues!

This is good. However, my only fear is that after splurging 6.2m and 130k a week, will that be it in terms of transfer funds and if so, for how long?
I hope ronaldinho can get back to his peak. We need goals and creativity.

why have they?
they said there ambitious, theyve not had chance to prove that until now this windows open.
you cant boast about how much money youve really available to spend, otherwise other clubs are gona fleece you, makes good buisness sense! plus getting rid of sam hoof-it to the big man allardyce was the biggest step forward! you can see were playing on the floor now, it`ll just take a bit of time!

chicken burger sir? lol

OK, has anyone here read about the new UEFA Financial Fair Play Rules?

They're a bunch of charlatans and any fan that believes the **** they are sending out is a **** fool.

.

they say they want to play in europe, but rovers only just break even. one year was due to a loan from the walkers trust. with these new rules, that wont be allowed.

.

so, how do they expect to bring in these players, on stupid money when they already pay 91% of turnover on wages....

.

it doesn't add up, but dont let hard facts get in the way of believing their nonsense you set of dimwitted ****.... do some research, and you will see these are a bunch of wankers who have already gone a good way of ruining your good name.

Yeah right and Im the Aga Khan
Look Mr Eman this is you again yoa like the Venkys, think Rovers fans are thick
News flash we are not
You really are pi55ing me off
This is not funny and what these people are doing is not funny,raising the profile of the club does not include having everyone laughing at us
NOBODY will seriously believe that this guy will sign so it's bloody stupid to pretend so

Have to admit that Venkys have been clumsy at best so far in some decisions but they are getting some harsh criticism from what seems like all sides. Most of press and other clubs used to slag us no end for the way we played. We sack Sam and the same bunch now slag us for that. My view is we need to stick together. Venkys might not be everyones cup of tea but they are I believe spending their own money here so let's sit back and see what this month brings before we all look to stick the boot in. Nobody else seriously wanted to buy the club. A few signings, a few wins and we will hopefully all be smiling and be grateful for Venky Kong and Super Balajio.

exactly fella, no-ones even giving them a chance, all people do is moan moan moan!! need to be positive!

Man City are facing the same problem, have a read... but why should you bother about that?!

look at all the cost cutting at chelsea, is that a coincidence?! they've massively reduced their overheads.

What I am saying is, this is a load of ****. But I would be more worried if it actually come off, because they and rovers do not have the money to back it up.

They might be multimillionaires, but VH Group does not make enough to sustain a premier league club. they reported 9m profit for first 6 months of trading, so that is projecting 18m for the year.... hardly worldbeating figures eh!!

.

you need a reality check, these guys are using the name of rovers, and my worry is they will destroy your club at a whim if you are not careful, as they do not know what they're doing. the sooner they are gone, the better for rovers and football.

The main reason Ronaldino won't come to Rovers is that they can't agree terms on his Dental Plan!

der!!!!!

Rovers are in talks with Blackpool over Luke Varney, a friend of mine played with him at Crewe , and still speaks to him. This Donaldinho bid is surely just publicity.

der!!!!!

publicity or not. if man u had bid 6.2mil they wouldnt be villified for doing so. it is terrible how we are being treated by the press and some of our own 'so called' fans!
.
we need 2 or 3 players. adam and varney? maybe. keep the faith

should they not be talking to derby ? i think he is still on loan at b'pool

I doubt very much it's going to happen and perhaps it's a publicity stunt for Venky's....perhaps, but lets face it, what other publicity have we had since Jack Walker died and the Walker family destroyed his legacy?
.
We have had BFS show us what the worst in football can be and the resulting negative publicity has harmed our Club to the point of destruction.
.
We have brainwashed fans who believe that BFS's hoofball is the only way to play, but that's how he makes his millions, out of suckers like us who fall for it and hang onto his every word as though it was gospel.
.
We go up against Liverpool on Wednesday with barely a team left standing because of the mismanagement of BFS and the Walkers.
.
On Saturday we are up against the best side in the Championship in the FA Cup, then next week against Chelsea, probably still with a severely depleted squad.
.
Chances of winning any of these games?, to a realist like myself not very high, but when does realism apply to football fans? because I will go to each of these games hoping that the team the Kean can cobble together might, just might pull something off, I am a True Blue after all.
.
We may not win those games, that won't be Venky's fault, or Kean's. that legacy is still in the incapable hands of San Allardyce and the Walker Family.
.
But after the transfer window closes then it is time to judge Venky's and Kean, see if the players they eventually bring in are capable of keeping us in the PL and playing the style of football we all secretly crave.
.
And if, just a very slender if, a player or two of Ronaldinho's standard graces the Blue and White then perhaps Rovers fans can begin to smile and dream again.
.
Jack Walker brought us the Premier League, at the time he was derided by the press which is controlled by the "big 4", but he still did it despite everything they thew at him.
.
Venky's are derided by the fans, who matter, and the press who really don't, perhaps it's now time to judge Venky's on actions not words.

Namaste (Greetings),
Blackburn fans I would just like to say thank you for the support you have given us recently. I was watching the West Bromwich game with my husband on the TV and was really happy in my heart about how much you gave us all support in the club. We really hope you can keep doing this as it makes me, my brothers, the manager and staff very confident in our jobs.
Now, we have made an offer for Mr Assis because Mr Allardyce was saying we want an impact player and Mr Kean also wanted one. Mr Assis is one of the biggest names in the game. We have already offered him a 2 and a half year deal and he has indicated to us that he would be willing to play if we assure him some things like more signings.
We have told him our vision for the club and hope he will join us next week. We are also monitoring the David Beckham situation.
Please carry on to get behind us, we need your support to make our club come in the top 6.
Thanksyou, Anuradha Desai

I know a really good dentist, who is Indian!

short simple words for the venkys - i`ll believe it when i see it.

i think it`s more likely than come the end of january, more fans will join me in wanting the venkys and their puppet out of our club.

Woh! Just found out about this from this article. First reaction is CRAZY! But let's stay rational - 6.2million = 1million + 40 games at 130,000, so perhaps that's the deal. Ronaldhino is 30 years old and SHOULD have quality time left in him, although all evidence points to contrary. My main problem is that it will probably take him 6 months to be match fit for Premier league. That will be OK if he is only being paid for games played, but I doubt he'd ever agree to that.
.
Re Venky's, is anybody else starting to get the same feeling as me? They don't give a **** what they say to the media? They just say anything even if it contradicts because they don't care! Think about it! If they just say anything they like, the media is never going to know whether they mean it or not and neither is anybody else. So everything will be down to results - actions speak louder than words and all that. I hope Venky's believe in action above words - if they do, it's great for us. If not - *&8%!/?**!

Another thing is: was Ronaldinho on Kean's shopping list?

well well, mrs desai, nameste, got to say from my last on line comment this morning. venkys have finally made that statement of intent i asked for,see skynews.com 6am Certainly made the press site up on your latest comments look forward to your interview to moz.

The farce has spread to the LET comments pages. Is the LET not going to investigate the posts on this page and find out definitively who has been posting them??

Couldn't agree more pal. They were also saying that he has got 2 on the verge of signing and 1 a hopefull any ideas?? Personally I think if we've got this kind of money sign robbie keane a proven goalscorer who us definatley availible and is more likely to move!

I think some of the fans should give the Venkeys a chance, they are showing some real ambition. I look forward to seeing how this pans out, I'm already impressed at how they are giving nothing away to the media. The sign of good businessmen who know what they are doing.
.
And if the posts on here are genuine (they do seem genuine with the style of language), then I'm doubly impressed at how they have made time for us fans.

LMAO, the above article made me laugh, Is this what Ewood has become, a bloody circus with the clowns running it. Yes BFS has gone and his hoofball with him, but you have to have a sense of humour being a Rovers fan at the moment, let's hope the last laugh is on the Dingles and not BRFC.

Hes no Keith Andrews

geez how many names has vinjay got

And the farcical management of my club goes on Its a joke

I would be surprised if this materialises into a signing but full marks to Venkys for showing AMBITION - also it will raise our profile abroad - also shows that they are prepared to spend money - something that many Rovers fans have doubted.
.
Also, if Rohnaldinho does sign for Rovers then personally I think its a bit more of an exciting signing for all Rovers fans than Goujon or Benjani - BFS last 2 signings under our previous "generous, ambitious" white owners.
.
If I was in charge I would definately try to sign Matt Phillips from Blackpool as one for the future - wouldnt cost a lot of money, wages wouldnt be that big but he has already shown this season that he has pace to burn, is direct and a good crosser - a really good young attacking player who could be a top top premiership player in 2 or 3 years.

Mass HYSTERIA lmao .. how gullible are most of you,the LET and the rest of the press? Have these owners done ANYTHING at all previous to this to make anyone believe they can be taken serious or they know what they're doing in the footballing world? NO!!! When negotiating the sale of the club it was all a little 'cloak n' dagger' with ot much info comming out al all. Since they took controll of the club,they have done nothing but gain plenty of media attention for their company/ family NAME. In the meantime our club name has become a bit of a laughing stock & the butt end of all jokes by the majority of the footballing world. When they got rid of Sam after they'd endorsed him a couple of weeks earlier,
strange how this never leaked out prior to it happening eh? a little like their intentions for the club,prior to the sale! They then tell us they will draw up a short list of managers out of the 'ones?' that applied for the job and all of a sudden,they decide to take on kean till the end of the season? news this morning is they are after giving kean the job long term! why? because we are now challenging for the champions league slot's or because he resembles that nodding dog on the adds? How about they appointed kean because they'd made such a mess of the takeover the sacking and with all the negative press surrounding our club and their NAME! that NOT ONE manager of any repute put his name in the hat.Did any of you's hear of any manager saying he wanted the job? NOT ONE! So to hide their embarrasment of the situation, they appoint SK.
Along with the names being thrown about as potential managers before appointing SK,they have started the ball rolling in the press again,with the name dropping in the transfer market of THEIR targets! Never mind they told us we were only getting £5m to spend.
This is just another part of their deception to cover up the mess they have made of the job so far. Name dropping of high profile targets is a great way to get THEIR name in the press and when we don't get these targets,at least it will appease most of the fickle fans,by saying 'at least they've shown their intentions' haha Actions speak louder than words,yea, like the sacking,which we all heard of after the deed had been done! Everything else comming out of their press room has done nothing to help B.R.F.C. all it has done is highlight the name of the owners and to keep THEIR
name in the spotlight.The publicity they have had out of B.R.F.C. in the past couple of months is priceless to THEM! They have never had publicity like this before and what have we got out of this so far? lots of rib tickling p!-ssta-king jokes aimed at the club from all directions! oh and a champions leauge slot,i forgot about that! I for one can't take these owners serious at all and can only cringe when i hear they have come out in the press again with another fable!

ypu put your left leg in, your left leg out....in out, in out, you shake it all about

Greetings everyone, I hope you are all feeling well today. I and Balaji are very happy with the support you are continuing to give us on the message boards. Even at the start we told you to put trust in us and now you can see the benefits of this.
Maybe one or two of you are still not happy but do not worry we will bring you happiness with new players. My father always told me that in life we must keep our promises and I will try my best to make Blackburn one of the best teams in the EPL.
Mr Assis is still discussing terms with our team and we are hoping he will come to play for our team. Mr Assis wants to play in Brazil again but we have told him that he is a very good player to come here so maybe he can go to Brazil in few years time.
Also, we are making a move for Mr Beckham because he will give us more exciting football. Maybe we will also bid for Niko Kranjcar and Chung Yong Lee but it depends on other things.
Please trust us everyone and together we can be in the top six teams in UK.
Come on the Blues!

Below a post this morning from yahoo;

Ronaldinho rumour is why January window is fun.

This year, it seems Beckham is willing to perform a U-turn on his previous assertion that he would never play for another English club other than Manchester United, but it is the talk linking Milan forward Ronaldinho to Ewood Park that has caused the real stir, if only for its sheer improbability

This story so far has mirrored that of Venky's short-lived ownership of Rovers. First, the story emerged and was confirmed on the Indian poultry-farming firm's website and Twitter accounts, then denied by director Venkatesh Rao, then confirmed again by head honcho (honchess?) Anuradha Desa. Now they are launching a £6.2 million bid for the 30-year-old party boy.

Since Venky's bought Blackburn in November, they have declared they would only spend £5m in the transfer window, were happy with mid-table sustainability and would back manager Sam Allardyce, before a swift about-face saw them announce big recruitment plans, top-five ambitions and give Big Sam the Big Boot.

Venky's have been open about their motivation behind buying Rovers being in part to raise the company's profile back in their homeland, and just being linked with the two-time World Player of the Year will certainly grab the attention.

Perhaps they have no intention of bringing him to East Lancs at all, and the whole thing is merely a publicity grab. It certainly has the whiff of the Peter Lim about it.

Whether the player is using Blackburn as a bargaining tool for a move back to Brazil with Gremio, or Rovers are piggy-backing on a star name to raise their profile remains to be seen, but it will be enjoyable seeing how this all pans out.

Many have been quick to disparage Venky's for coming from an industry and a country that has little to do with football, especially following their surprise decision to sack Allardyce.

But why should they not have as much right to own a club as any Russian, American or Egyptian or, for that matter, any theatre impresario, kettle parts manufacturer or **** magnate?

If it means they can contribute to some entertaining transfer shenanigans over the next month.
.................
The circus continues;
Talk Sport want Rovers fans to call in from 10am ... about goofey comming here and about these owners!

so many people on here still want big sam and his boring, dull tactics and his 'got to be over 6"' signings!
.
new regime, new outlook and new types of players!
.
get over it!

Lets get some perspective. Why would venkys even think of bidding for likes of Ronaldinho or Beckham. The reason I believe is,

i) In India, there are only few players who the general public identifies with, Ronaldo(Brazillian), Ronaldhino, Beckham, Drogba & Rooney. They need a face the people know to market their product. It makes business sense for them to invest in a Ronaldinho,he gives them a face.

ii) If this is true, what it shows is they dont mind spending the money, which is good for the club. But then from fans perspective, these funds have to be channeled to build a proper team. Instead of spending on one player who is past his best, two good talents could be bought.

I guess, Ronaldinho, if bought will be a owners buy. While the rest who might come in could be in Kean's list.

Lets wait & watch where this takes. We will know what they are upto before Feb. Whatever the case is, their media handling su*ks.

Unlikely there is any truth in this rumour.You need to check your facts. Varney is a Derby player. Only on loan at Blackpool albeit the Seasiders have an option to buy.

Seem to remember before Uncle Jack actually took over at the Rovers' he offered to buy Gary Lineker. All the media laughed their socks off at the audacityof a "little" club bidding for such a super star. Well they weren't laughing when we won the PL.
So at least support the Venky's during the transfer window, they are doing their best.

Publicity!! Nothing more. We will end up with a number of second rate players and no more. They crave publicity and will accept any good or bad.

Can see the Duff return coming off as he is in our price range but forget about Ronaldino, Keane, Santa Cruise and Beckham

haha ha ... the difference between Jack and these owners, Jack had followed football all his life and was up to date with the ins/outs of the business, he did his homework and got a manager in who the footballing world respected and not many footballer in the world would've turned down the chance to play under Kenny at that time. He also let the manager have the running of the footballing side of the business and backed him with the clout£! he was transparent and left no one in doubt that his only intentions were to fund the club and give the manager his full support! ....

? Nothing positive! They have to earn respect,you can't buy it,clown!!!

My daughter recently bought her first house. Thankfully, she did not think it a good idea to get a 50 inch plasma TV on the hire purchase. Instead she thought about tables and chairs, beds etc. Ronaldinho? Make a cake before you put icing on it and stop trying to act flash.

if you look back at the number of highly paid south american players who have played in the premier league they have generally proved to be unreliable, inconsistent and poor team players.

i dont think this one will be any would be any different. great if he is but my waters tell me he will not be any different.

the longer term concern is that the 'debt' that will accrue from transfers like these will be offset against the clubs assets including our training facilities. I think we are witnessing what happened at portsmouth and other clubs before that.

this transfer - and the damien duff transfer mentioned this morning - would contradict the policy of signing and developing young players.

if it really exists, surely this money would be better spent on a tranche of good, young players - following the policy laid down by arsenal for example.

i wish all you moaners would just p~ss off the venkys are here deal with it.the team needs our support now more than ever regardless who we sign we are competing in the mrket for the first time in years give these guys a chance and concentrate on getting behind the boys.half of you that are moaning where calling for sams head now your all jumping on the wagon.we are financially stable now thanks to these guys try getting behind them they are ding there best for us time will tell.i have a feelng you will all be eating your words.but for now enjoy us signing players let them get on with there job of moving us forward instead of having to justify everything get behind our boys give them all our support and enjoy a bright future.and keane hasnt had full squad to play yet its gona be a slow process but we will get there you will see

How about showing some respect "clown"? We may not agree, on the rights and wrongs of whatever is happening at the Rovers' but I respect a persons right to say it. Please refrain from name calling when joining in future discussions, it does youu little credit.

How about you practice what you preach too:(How about showing some respect "clown"? ) ... still makes no difference to me,sticks n stones. But you were right to pull me on the name calling and my apology is genuine! Have a good day Sir.

Thank you for the apology, I was only using your quote of me I was not calling you. Have a good 2011 along with all the other contributors to these discussions. Let's hope by May we are a happy bunch of moaners.

I'm not after splitting hairs,with the quotes,so all the best to you too for comming year.
But i doubt there will be any more clarity surrounding the Rovers in May than there is now? though i would wish otherwise.Nothing i see comming out of that family or their associates fills me with any optimism YET!

Hit the nail on the head.

Hej All,

Another u turn from venky, they said no and now they say yes... another stabbing in the back but this time to us, the supporters/fans !!

Ronaldhino ios according to the Italian, Spanish and French press 'finished' and only trying to find a place where to collect money and enjoy life !!!!

Also according to the Indian press/medias they want to use Ronaldhino's name to sale more chickens in India !!! great...now we also have to be mixed up with their chickens...

Another problem being heard in India is that the previous bidder Mr. Shah ( qubic sports ) would have placed a court order against them..for unpaid fees in the deal they stabbed him in the back !!!

What else can we expect from these chicken farmers.... we are being lied into our face one time after another and they do what they please....

Not to be trusted once again...!!

Poor us, poor Rovers, our future is has short as a chicken in the chicken farm !!!

what have we done to deserve this ???

Football mercenaries are the only ones they can bring to our club ??? will soon see Viera, Beckham, Ronaldhino and others that are on their way down... what about bringing in new young talented players... we do have a school for that ...haven't we ?
Take the challenge to bring in our new possible talented young players and give them a chance !!!!

Two worrying factors in this
1. Where is John Williams if negotiations are through a Brazillian contact -Kentaro will no doubt have a finger in the pie
2. Venkys ask for Trust - yet they change their story faster than the weather changes. Kean now being offered 3 years Contract.If he lasts to the end of January he could have a job for life.

Sorry no logic in their decisions and I fear that if they chase the dream of world class players we may miss out on attracting the type of player we need such as a Robbie Keane to score goals a Charlie Adam or ilk to create and maybe Sturridge to provide pace and support as well as a defender such as Wheater.

I would rather have those 4 than one superstar at least that should guarantee Premiership survival I can wait a bit longer for the dream of Top 5

Why are sky interviewing Mrs Desai and not John Williams about transfer speculation?
This doesn't happen at other clubs and maybe marks the end of John Williams!

wot say does your manager have on this,he knows theres not a chance of getting Ron,maybe its not the end of williams it might be time to tell these asian people how things are done in football over here dreamers,maybe they have plans for a new drive thro,and beckam please? keep em coming.,hahahahahaha
hahahahaha get real idiots.

SKY sources: Milan say no Bid has been made for Ronaldinho, and that if Blackburn where dealing with his representives, they would have to be told because he is under contract!!

i think you want hitting on the head with a nail vinjay's

vinjays??
Ahh whats up, not enough negativity for you?
Well if your not happy f##k off and "support" someone else, you wont be missed.

Thanks Venky's for giving us ambition again! No such thing as bad publicity. Honestly didn't think I would see another golden era as a Rovers fan - twenty years on I'm hoping for the return of the glory years!

Really worried now. You have to ask whether the Ronaldinho bid is to simply increase awareness of the Rovers brand. With all due respect to his talent, he's not the kind of investment we need at the moment. We need one or two solid key players who can steady the ship, help us make steady progress up the league and then look to invest in bigger name flair players.

(You have to ask whether the Ronaldinho bid is to simply increase awareness of the Rovers brand.)

hmm not exactly.The Rovers never made a bid for him-our owners say they did? and it is purely to increase awareness of THEIR NAME !

Perhaps we could do a swap deal with AC Milan with Andrews and Grella going in the opposite direction.

With the saving on Grella's wages we could afford to sign Victoria as well as David Beckham.

Just seen on sky sports that Ronaldinho will sign for a brazilian team tomorrow.Now lets start to get real regarding Blackburn Rovers potential transfer targets.

Venkys never expected him to sign in fact they would have **** themselves if he had!! They have no intention of spending big money but are doing their best to make it look like they will, publicity is the name of the game for Venkys and Rovers are just another vehicle for this.

I dont expect our signings to be household names but this was never the intention in the first place.

Mrs Desai never looked at the camera lens once during this mornings interview, sure sign of a lair for me.

Listened to TALKSPORT earlier they laughingly said that Blackburn are keen to be credited with an interest in everyone at the moment, who next Kaka, Ronaldo, Benzema? Stop bullshitting Venkys and bring in some good honest experienced professionals who will help the club move forward.

I am all for giving people a chance, but then stupid publicity stunts such as the Beckham and Ronaldhino saga's are making me lose faith in the owners.
Rovers fans dont want to hear false claims of big stars being lured to the club, all we want is for the owners to be honest and prove that they want the best for the club as well.
