Indian businessman makes formal offer for Premier League outfit
Blackburn Rovers chairman John Williams has confirmed that there has been interest from a number of parties regarding a buyout of the Ewood Park club.
A spokesperson for Western Gulf Advisory, the investment company of Indian businessman Ahasan Ali Syed, has emerged as the most recent potential new owner of Rovers.
Western Gulf Advisory is understood to have a non-disclosure agreement about the talks, but it is not alone in approaching the one-time Premier League champions with curiosity.
Williams said: "There have been a number of interested parties for some time and discussions are ongoing."
West Gulf Advisory is remaining confidential regarding its negotiations with Blackburn, but the spokesperson told
The Sport Briefing: "I can confirm that we made a formal approach to buy Blackburn Rovers."
Syed's company is based in Bahrain and Switzerland and the 36-year-old is a lawyer who studied at the London School of Economics.
He is reported to be promising to clear the club's £20million debt and invest £300million to provide sustainability for a long period of time.
A number of consortiums have contacted the Jack Walker Trustees over the last three years, including one from ex-JJB Sports chief Chris Ronnie, and another based in Iceland.
