pete0 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 chicken tikka is the type of chicken, its basically chicken that has been left in a red slightly mild so it has more flavour to it. you can have chicken tikka with most dishes. your common chicken tikka dish that everyone knows is normally chicken tikka massala, so its chicken tikka in massala sauce. it just gets known as chicken tikka for short. chicken tikka on its own is a great starter, normally get it when you order a banquet (at my local indians anyway) had some last night, my arse stinks a bit now. waaaayyy off topic there. (tikka bunha is ace though) Indian food always gives yer the reminder the next day. Spot on with my ignorance, always thought it was the sauce. Back on topic, where abouts the rest of the 40 acres, is it the Finch farm surroundings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaminfox Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 There has also been a nummber of rumours linked us with Anil Ambani. People are just guessing i think, nobody has been mentioned from any of the sources. Still the sources seem to be reliable so I am hoping something good comes out of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Aren't Blackburns owners Indian? One thing I've learned about these folk is that they are excellent business people. I'm not sure they'll be flashing the cash quite like our City friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Yep came in promishing Ronaldinho and they got Yakubu! They do seem to like hoarding their cash to be honest, They have spent looking at it around 16m but have recouped 23m+ not what I'd expect if we got bought out I'd be slightly pissed & even more so if they gave a man as inept as Kean a crack. If these rumours are true or have any substance which I'm highly dubious that they are I'd hope they would be abit more free with the mula then the chicken men at Bburn Edited October 28, 2011 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 It's a bit stupid to compare every Indian business man to the reps of Venky's... is Bill like Richard Branston just because they're both English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) It's pretty stupid to asume we are comparing "every" Indian business man but in general they do tend to operate in a very similar fashion in all walks of business as do the Sheik's splashing cash and being very over the top the same applies to the Indians but in a different manner The Venky's are just a current example in the EPL Edited October 28, 2011 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm sure we won't be selling to anyone that isn't prepared to put up money for a new stadium and pay off our debts and anyone that can put that money up as a guarantee is right by me. I'm not expecting some Man City type Sheikh to come chucking his money at us but if we had the money to renovate (unlikely) or fund a new stadium and pay off our debts we'd have a chance of turning some kind of profit, especially if the new owners have a few fresh ideas about how to run things. The Indian market isn't a bad one to get involved in, their interest in football at the moment is pretty limited and in my month there this year I can't say I saw many kids with a football. HOWEVER for whatever reason India has the 2nd largest football stadium in the world (only beaten by...North Korea!) and apparently get very good attendances at that ground, most of the other stadiums hold around 20,000. If you've ever watched IPL cricket or the recent Champions League cricket you'll see that the rich stars of India and the big companies are quite willing to spend on their passion for sport as well as for advertising. Bollywood stars invest in the teams then get heavily involved, construction firms (especially) invest heavily in teams, academy's and in hefty advertising throughout games. It's not never going to be so easy to tap into that for football but the money is there, you just need to find the right people who are willing to invest and try to draw interest in the side. Note that despite Venky's being a pretty embarrassing owner at times they are trying to improve the profile of the club in India, all be it from a cringe worthy fried chicken advert. Although that caused a laugh here in England the Indian's see such cheesy ad's with their hero's of cricket all the time. They also played a friendly in Pune during the international break recently and I expect they'll probably be back to India in the next 12 months again. The main issue is making them understand the way things are run in England, the realistic costs and expectations when doing things. If only India had a star player that could make it in the Premiership as that would be of great interest to the Indians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Given that i've now read that TATA are apparently the interested party I doubt they'd be making a half arsed investment if they were going to get involved...you'd think not anyway!

Lowensda Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Lets say that it is the TATA Group (which is highly unlikely), its all speculation, if they were to fund a stadium I gaurantee my life savings that the ground would be named after the company (emirates stadium for example). So if this is the case, what would you prefer. The TATA (Group) Stadium - The obvious one. TATA Park - Which isn't too bad, play on the current 'park' bit. And technically we could still have a park end Camp TATA - Play on Barca TATA Olympic Stadium - Back to the old school! Stade De TATA - hmmm I like fish! Ok so these are the names, now for the 'ends' and 'stands' STEEL End TATA Sons' Corner TATA NANO Stand TATA Street End RATAN Stand JAMSETJI End TATA POWER Stand - Sounds mean! Right now for the Fan Group....TATA POWER FORCE Ajoining hotel - TAJ Hotels Power SUpplied by - TATA Power Steel for the Stadium Supplied by - TATA Steel Europe (that's key) COnfectionaries supplied by - TATA Global Beverages, TATA Salt and TATA Coffee Website run by - TATA Technologies Limited Player Insurance Supplied by - TATA AIG India General and Life Insurance Edited October 28, 2011 by tenaciousj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 TATA Olympic Stadium - Back to the old school! focusing on the important aspect there I see of stadium naming! though I'm not sure we'd really be calling it Olympic stadium...given that it wouldn't be an Olympic stadium!

That gives the story maybe some credibility - as we all know he would never hand over entirely. How would that work? Surely he would be indirectly handed millions on the basis that the new investors would boost the value of the club. The whole football quarter has me very excited, especially if it means Liverpool have to cough up some green to get the council to dig into their pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
