There was an interesting piece on TalkSport yesterday that alluded to the fact that Blackburn's owner has NEVER been to Ewood Park and had bought the club as a piece of 'bling' to be shown off within their own circles
But when dissected, their ownership is a mixed one, as there is no doubt that (despite reports to the contrary) they have ploughed an awful lot of money into the club; particularly for a club outside of the Premier League
It seems a lack of 'football nouse' in the first season (when they were relegated from the Premier League) meant that they then threw a stack of money looking for a quick return, only to see it go up in smoke as successive managers only made the situation worse and now thy are paying the heavy price of relegation to League One
Sounds all too familiar in many ways, but at least our overseas owner has 'seen the light' and is in the process of reversing his initial lack of football nouse and is slowly but surely putting us back on an even keel...
Just goes to show that for us it could have worked out a lot worse!

It was an interesting listen on Radio Notts before the games Sunday. Obviously they were talking about Forests chances but the speakers diverted onto the owners of the 3 clubs that were fighting the religation Forest themselves, Blackburn and Birmingham. All 3 have controversial owners who seem to sack instead of give the managers a chance to build. They all concluded that foreign ownership is bad for football. Had to agree with them.
