GARY Bowyer wants to fly to India as soon as the season is over to hold crucial talks with Venky’s about how to lift Blackburn Rovers’ transfer embargo.

Rovers have been under embargo since January after falling foul of the Football League’s new financial fair play regulations, and Bowyer believes that hampered the club’s play-off chase in the second half of the season.

Rovers’ promotion hopes are now over for the current campaign and Bowyer says a face to face meeting with owners Venky’s will be vital as he plans how to put the club in contention for the Premier League during the 2015/16 season.

One option could be selling at least one key player in the summer, although Venky’s turned down bids for Jordan Rhodes and Rudy Gestede this season.

Rovers’ season finishes with a home game against Ipswich Town on May 2, and Bowyer says he is likely to fly to Pune soon after that.

He said: “As soon as the season’s finished obviously it’s a must to go out there, sit round a table, catch up, put our ideas towards them and discuss ways in which we feel we can improve both on and off the pitch even further.

“We’ve seen, there’s evidence there that the restriction of the embargo has impacted on us and so it would be trying to see where we can improve on that and have a better idea going into another busy summer.

“We’ve got to look at different ways in which we can help come out of this embargo to make us competitive in the market again this summer.”

The current Football League regulations mean that, even if Venky’s wanted to spend money on players, they would be unable to do so without pushing Rovers over the FFP limit.

“I watched the Manchester derby and you heard people talking about Manchester City and their financial fair play situation as well,” Bowyer said.

“It’s not just ourselves, it’s everybody now. The frustration comes for all owners of football clubs I’m sure.”
