Venky family split over Blackburn Rovers sale

Blackburn Rovers owners the Venkys family are split over the potential sale of the club.

Balaji Rao is reportedly opposed to a deal after interest from wealthy Qatari backers, according to The Mirror.

Family rules dictate that all four members must agree terms for a sale to go through.

Representatives of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamed Al-Thani hope to set up a deal after he missed out on Manchester United.

Rovers are currently 19th in the Premier League table after a poor start to the season.
