Blackburn Rovers made a sensational move for AC Milan want-away star Ronaldinho over the weekend.
Rovers owners Venky's revealed on their Facebook site yesterday morning they had offered the AC Milan ace £6million a year.
And the move appearaed on a few hours later as the Indian poultry giants also tweeted an agreement was a possibility.
But the Lancashire club's hopes of a sensational swoop soon fell flat.
And in a dramatic U-turn, Venky's co-owner Venkatesh Rao admitted it was unlikely they would be sealing a deal for the 30-year-old.
Venky's Facebook post had been taken down by lunchtime as it became clear the player was heading home to Brazil.
