Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray has revealed a meeting with Venky's to boost the club's transfer budget, aiming to improve the team's chances in the Championship. The club currently stands 20th in the Championship, with 52 points from 46 games, and has only signed Jayden Fevrier for a fee of 500k this summer. Mowbray believes that more funds are required to ensure Rovers are competing at the right end of the table.
What happened?
Mowbray flew to Switzerland to meet Venky's in a bid to improve Blackburn Rovers' transfer budget. He revealed to talkSPORT that he met the owners in Zurich, stressing the need for more financial help to put the club back where it needs to be.
Why it matters for Blackburn Rovers
The club's current league standing is a concern, with many feeling that more work is needed before the transfer window shuts. Mowbray too feels that more funds are required to ensure Rovers are competing at the right end of the table.
What comes next?
Mowbray is hopeful that the meeting with Venky's will result in more financial backing for the club, allowing them to sign players and improve their chances in the Championship. He believes that with the right recruitment and coaching, Rovers can achieve success in the league.
Aiming high

The search for magic
Mowbray has identified the need for a player with magic in their boots, who can sit down a defender, go past someone, and cut it back. He believes that Rovers need more goals, and that they need to find another lad who wants to be the next hero of the support base.
