Rovers fans back trust
Blackburn Rovers, 22:06, February 23, 2012
Blackburn fans have made the first step towards a potential takeover by setting up a trust.
The Blackburn Rovers Supporters' Investment Trust has been created to try and generate enough support and income to take the club off the hands of current owners Venky's in the future.
The director of the WEC Group Wayne Wild believes they have made a big step towards hopefully owning the club one day.
"At some point, and maybe soon, we believe Blackburn Rovers will be put up for sale," he told Click Lancashire. "We believe the best ownership model for Blackburn Rovers is to be entirely owned by the supporters through a trust.
"We are seeking to engage with the current owners to advise them of our plans and we ask that they consider our proposals seriously as a credible and respectful way to pass on ownership of the club.
"At this stage we are asking Blackburn Rovers supporters if they would be willing to buy a share in their club. The more fans who pledge to buy a share, the stronger and more credible our bid will be."
