I had no idea they were being bought out ..... Indians, Arabs, Yanks.... :yikes: .... what happened to the Beautiful Game :ooo

The Walker family trust have been trying to sell them for the last five or six years. You look at whats happened at other clubs, particularly Portsmouth, and worry about what a takeover will bring but Blackburn have been on borrowed time in the premier league in terms of the money they are able to spend for a couple of years now.

Some people would say Blackburn had already been overtaken by Indians :yikes::yikes::yikes::biggrin::biggrin:
