Venky's complete takeover of Blackburn

[Joel`]

Waiting for source on the sky sports website, but it's breaking live on TV now.

Pretty meh, interesting to see how they do, but didn't they promise just a £3m transfer budget? :/

 

[CJACKO11]

They haven't promised alot of cach but im pretty sure its more than what they did have so its a plus. Also they said they would be happy with mid table finishes so it seems a good deal for Rovers and they could go out and sign another striker in the window.

 

[Shakhtardfc1]

Clearing the debt is their main priority?

 

[Nick.]

they bought the club for £23 million :O

even by today's standards, that's minute

[Mike.]

[JonoMUFC]

This is a very good deal for Blackburn. Just buy a striker and they have a:

-Solid team.
-Realistic owners.
-No debt.

Great deal! (I hope they don't prove me wrong.)

 

[Cozzy165]

They cleared all debt - so be happy!

Kalinic is a very good striker imo, just needs to play more.

Kalinic is a very good striker imo, just needs to play more.

A little inconsistent but, I agree. Could use someone else though.

 

[winfield]

It's amazing that they finish around mid table year in and year out. One of the ugliest teams to watch but still pretty **** good considering most of their talent came on frees and peanuts. Good luck to them

 

[Joneesy]

Lol.

Blackburn sell for 25-50M..

Madejski wants to Sell Reading for 90M.. :S

Always liked Blackburn, how the new owners do good for them.

 

[hellroker]

Happy that an Indian company is investing into English Football. Good signs for India

 

[CJACKO11]

Maybe Rovers could do a deal with City and bring back Santa Cruz maybe??

Any chance of them renaming the stadium BollyEwood Park???

I have liked 50% of Blackburn, they could do a little re-design of their kit then I would like them even more

He gets played enough, but not enough goals. Needs better service really.
