Former Blackburn Rovers manager Don Mackay has issued a word of caution about any proposed takeover of the club.[LNB] Indian businessman Ahsan Ali Syed and Saurin Shah are two known rival bidders, with another interested unnamed party also involved.[LNB]But Mackay, who was sacked in 1991 when Jack Walker took control of the club and brought in Kenny Dalglish, said the club had to make the right decision.[LNB]"I understand Rovers would love a bit more money but if you look at the big picture things aren't too bad as they are they?," he told the Lancashire Telegraph. "They are an established Premier League club and fans only to have to think back 20 years or so to see how far they have come.[LNB]"I can understand the desire for new owners but it doesn't always work out the way you want it. Look at Liverpool and Portsmouth. Money doesn't guarantee success. You have to look seriously at what are they (the interested parties) doing it for?[LNB]"If that is why this process seems to be going on a long time, then Rovers are very much doing the right thing. Are these people doing it for the benefit of Blackburn Rovers or are they doing it for themselves and for investment?"
