Old news pal, were you been living under a rock ?

Accounts only released today, as clubs have to release accounts in December. If you've seen it elsewhere, fair enough, but it seems a lot of football fans, and professional commentators and writers are only just finding out about it. A loss was expected, but not on this level.

Why do ya think the transfer embargo was slapped on us ?

Transfer embargo is for LAST season's accounts - this loss is ON TOP of that.

Whichever way people want to argue about the deficit and when it "dates" from, the level is staggering and far above what anyone expected.
I'd kind of hoped that after Venky's leave, which I'm sure will happen in time, the debt would be somehow manageable to the extent that Rovers would be able to carry on if not in the Championship at least in League One or Two. This would have given genuine fans their club BACK, and the pride and dignity that the supporters would get from that.
Previously, several local consortium's have approached Venkys with a view to buying the club back FOR the fans, but that now seems unlikely to happen with the levels of debt.
Sadly there still seem to be fans who prefer to be Ostrich like and bury their heads in the sand, resorting to insults without realising that this could potentially mean the very existence of a founder member of the Football League is under threat.
