Blackburn's owners give stake warning that results must improve

Club owners Venky's have told Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean and his players that results must improve. Kean has come under increasing pressure from the Ewood Park supporters after a miserable start to the season which has seen them garner just four points from seven matches.

Co-owner Venkatesh Rao revealed that the meeting in India had been 'frank and straight' and is confident it can prove to be a turning point in their season.

Rao said: "Believe me, it was frank and straight and we need results.

"Everyone is looking forward - from the players to the manager to the owners.

"I am positive. The luck didn't go for us in the first two games and then we had a wonderful win (against Arsenal) before we were sliding down.

"Now after this meeting and the team coming especially to India, they have had a refreshing time, and I think they will go with a positive note after this meeting."

Rao also pledged that they will soon give the supporters something to smile about.

He added: "I would like to assure the fans we are very much concerned about the situation.

"It is really painful, I know that. It is painful for the owners with what is happening.

"I would like to be honest - we will show some results and we will produce some results and make our fans happy."
