And now half the prem is owned by people with little knowledge or understanding of English football. All of them hoping to make money out of a product chronically losing it.

I just hope Eddie Davies looks both ways before crossing the road.

Stories circulating that the first thing on hand for the new owners is the change the name of the stadium. I wonder how that one will go down. At least now the fans if complaining about money for players can be told they were given a new stadium. Hey it might just work.

Watched a bit of yesterday's Villa game and one of the Blackburn fans had a top hat with a chicken on the top! So at least one of them has a sense of humour.
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

ONE of the first acts of Blackburn’s new Indian owners has been to announce plans to rip up 120 years of history by renaming Ewood Park.

Pune-based poultry firm Venky’s completed a £43million takeover on Friday from the trust fund of former owner Jack Walker. And two brothers from the controlling family, Balaji and Venkatesh Rao, were at yesterday’s game against Aston Villa. In India, company chairwoman Anuradha Desai has been outlining radical plans for the club’s new image.

“We need to improve the brand Blackburn Rovers,” she said. “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. Ours could be called the Venky’s Stadium or could adopt the name of another sponsor.”



Venky's Stadium!! :lol:

Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.
