EWOOD Park looks set for a radical name change after Blackburn Rovers’ new own-ers admitted they could call it the Venky’s stadium.

The Rao family, owners of Indian poultry giants Venky’s completed their purchase of the club on Friday, and have since revealed Blackburn Rovers’ brand needs to be improved.

This is likely to involve changing the name of Ewood Park, Rovers’ home since 1890, with Venky’s just one potential new name already suggested.

Venky’s chairman Anuradha Desai, said: “We need to improve the brand Blackburn Rovers.

"The management thus far has done a good job but has not been proactive enough. We are looking to change that, “Arsenal named their stadium ‘The Emirates’ after their main sponsors.

"Our stadium could be called the Venky’s Stadium or could adopt the name of another sponsor.

“We are looking to spread the name of Blackburn Rovers wherever we can. India is our major target.”

Desai also stressed the importance of forming strong links between Rovers and the sub-continent, revealing Sam Allardyce’s men could soon become the first English team to tour India.

She also admitted the search is already on for Indian talent to make an impact at Rovers as they look for football’s equivalent to cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.

She said: “We will take a look at their calendar and when it is convenient for them we will arrange exhibition matches in India.

“We are also looking to start workshops where we fly down coaches of the Blackburn Academy and arrange training sessions for kids in India.

“Our aim is to have an Indian footballer in the team, and we will work along these lines.

"If we can have a Sachin Tendulkar, I’m sure we’ll find someone (like him in football).”

She added: “We paid £20 million for the shares of Blackburn Club.

"A sum of £10 million has been pumped into the club, and another £5 million will be given over the next 15 days.

“Then we have taken over servicing of a debt of £16 million, while £1 million has to be paid to the Trust that runs the club for each of the next three years.”

Desai was quick to deny claims of rival bidder Saurin Shah that the deal was initially his ‘brain child’ and that Venky’s had “backstabbed” his own attempt to buy the club.

She said: “Saurin Shah and Co did not want to invest a penny.

"They had their own investment plans in mind directly with Blackburn.

“They had no connection with us.

“He was wrong in his accusations and I have proof to back my words, but I don’t want to cause him any embarrassment.”
