Blackburn Rovers director Venkatesh Rao says he has no problem with criticism from fans.

Rao admitted he expected criticism from fans in the wake of relegation, but that they had a right to do so.

"We were relegated so naturally they are going to do that," he said. "We have to come out of this situation, that's the most important thing. The fans have the right to do what they want.

"It's bound to happen when someone loses that somebody criticises. We have to come out of this situation. Nobody is to be blamed."
