Chowdery ponders Rovers takeover

Businessman Nabeel Chowdery, a close friend of goalkeeper Brad Friedel, has revealed he is interested in a £40million takeover of Blackburn. Chairman John Williams confirmed earlier this summer that Rovers would be willing to discuss a buy-out. American-based Dan Williams and sportswear supremo Chris Ronnie were both keen to reach a deal with Blackburn but complications arose. Property tycoon Chowdery is now looking to come in, although he is unhappy with Blackburn's valuation. A close friend of Friedel but not a Rovers fan, Chowdery is still hoping to be successful in his bid to buy the club. "I think it's probably worth £40million, but the price they are asking is too high," he told The People. "If they wanted to come to a realistic figure we could have a deal."
