Blackburn sale to Indian firm confirmed

LONDON: The sale of English Premier League side Blackburn Rovers to Indian poultry firm Venky's has been completed, the club announced in a statement on Friday.

The statement on Blackburn's official website said the club's holding company had sold its 99.9 percent shareholding in Rovers to Venky's London Limited, a newly-formed company owned by the Rao family of India.
