Rovers: Samba must stay until summer
Posted Friday, January 20, 2012 by The Sun
CHRIS SAMBA has been told by owner Anuradha Desai he can leave Blackburn but not until the summer.
The Rovers skipper was fuming after a conference call with the Venky's chairwoman at their Brockhall training base this week.
The defender hoped his transfer request would force the Indians to sell their £12million asset as they look to balance the books.
But Samba, who signed a five-year deal last January, was informed by Mrs Desai he must stay and help Rovers fight the drop.
Rovers boss Steve Kean said: "He knows he is not for sale and we won't welcome any more bids.
"Hopefully we can now move on."
