Rovers have insisted the ongoing court case in India involving Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited should have “no future impact” on the funding of the club.

Venky’s have been using the High Court of Delhi to send money over to the club after the parent company was placed under restrictions by the Indian Government.

Rovers' owners are under investigation and last year had assets worth £7.3million seized, relating to money used to purchase a luxury house in Lancashire in 2011.

Last week, it emerged their application to push through funding for the club had been delayed until August 20. The court hearing was previously scheduled for March 12.

The new statement insists Venky’s will continue to offer the club their “full support in the short, medium and long term”.

It also outlined the owner’s belief that the team can finish the campaign strongly under John Eustace, who succeeded Jon Dahl Tomasson in the dugout last month.

Rovers currently sit 17th in the Championship table and have a three-point cushion above the relegation zone with eight games left to play.

The statement read: “The owners would like to assure all Blackburn Rovers supporters that the club will continue to have their full support in the short, medium and long term.

“The ongoing court case in India is now related only to technical and procedural issues involving Venkateshwara Hatcheries Pvt Ltd (VHPL) and should have no future impact on the owners being able to continue to fund the club.

“Even through the extremely challenging times of the Covid pandemic and during difficulties encountered last year, the owners have always supported the club, which will continue as and when they are required to do so.

“Finally, the owners would like to take this opportunity to thank all associated with the club for their support and have full belief under our new head coach John Eustace we can have a strong end to the current season.”

£11.5million was transferred in November to provide funding until the end of January and Venky’s wanted their latest application to cover the club until the summer and beyond.

The sale of Adam Wharton and the influx of money from a sell-on clause in David Raya's move from Brentford to Arsenal will provide some buffer for the club.
