Blackburn's new owners have offered their full support to the manager, Sam Allardyce, and confirmed they will be giving him funds to improve the squad in January.
The Indian company Venky's completed their purchase of the Ewood Park outfit for £23m last week.
The poultry giant, owned by the Rao family, have bought the 99.9% shareholding of the Jack Walker Trust, which has run the club since the death of their former benefactor a decade ago. They have given their backing to Allardyce, whose team are 11th in the Premier League.
"We want results and Sam has taken up the challenge. He deserves a chance," Venky's chairman, Anuradha Desai, said. "Most of the time the team has been between eighth and 10th in the rankings. Only once it went out of the league.
"With the right motivation I feel they can go higher than eighth. Who is to say they cannot do better than that, say fifth or sixth position, why not?
"To this end the group have promised manager Allardyce funds to spend in the January transfer window."
