They have been very involved in this window. I've spoken to them every day.[LNB]'They've been excellent in their communication and very swift with their action. I've got no doubt they've delivered fully. We followed everything all the way through until it was a definite no or yes. I've no doubt the investment and the excitement we have at the moment will continue.[LNB]'They've backed us this month, they've backed us since day one. It's good that we've been able to attract players of this calibre.It's probably a long time since we've been able to get someone from Barcelona, Schalke, Champions League clubs, Man City.[LNB] Ready for action: Roque Santa Cruz was one of four players bought into the club in January[LNB]'There will be more investment, this is not a flash in the pan. Hopefully we'll be progressing with that investment and get us up the league.[LNB]'This will be Mrs Desai's first visit. I think the fans are starting to realise now what's happening here. There was confusion of a few weeks ago, people weren't sure what was going to happen.[LNB]'Maybe fans were worried there was going to be an exodus. But then Ryan Nelsen, Chris Samba, Michel Salgado and Jason have all committed and we are tieing up young Phil Jones.[LNB]'It says massive things. The fact we have been able to turn down enquiries from clubs to resign players and getting four players from the statures of the clubs they are coming from, is fantastic backing from the new owners.'[LNB] Blackburn owners back rookie boss Kean by handing him deal until 2013Argentine hitman Formica to swap Newell's Old Boys for BlackburnEXCLUSIVE: Is rookie Kean Premier League's first 'sackproof' boss?
