    Good call Beamo the ball is your friend . Why would you want to keep giving it away by hoofing/lumping etc down the field . A decent level of entertainment and results can easily go hand in hand .
    Come on you blues .Give the players a chance Sam .
    Good shout - I hope with 20m Indian TV customers to attract for our future income to keep us at the top of World Football that even BS has realised hoofball won't be the future even if self preservation is his motive!"

Venky's Blackburn Rovers deal on track

BLACKBURN Rovers are not anticipating anything derailing Venky’s takeover bid as they continue to prepare themselves for coming under the control of new owners.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands the Indian poultry giants won’t be confirmed as the new owners before the weekend but both parties remain ‘very confident’ the deal will go through in the next couple of weeks.

Interviews with Venky’s owner last week, Anuradha Desai, raised hopes the deal would be signed today but it is believed these claims were too optimistic - with a number of technicalities still to be sorted.

There is not understood to be any problem though with the principle details already sorted and just minor negotiations now to be had.

Venky’s and Rovers are opting to stay tight-lipped now until the deal has been signed, with a number of questions still to be answered about their future vision for the club.

It is understood neither party are concerned about Saurin Shah seeking legal advice over the deal, after the rival bidder claimed he was the one who intitially approached Venky’s to back his own bid.
