Samba: I don't want to "waste time" at Blackburn
Blackburn captain Chris Samba has repeated his desire to quit Ewood Park after claiming he does not want to be part of the club under new owners Venky's.
One of the first things the India-based poultry firm did on taking over was sack Sam Allardyce and give his job to then coach Steve Kean.
In the days after, Samba was quoted as saying he was ready to hand in a transfer request, although Kean confirmed only last week that had not happened. Since then the club's owners have hit the headlines again by going public with ambitious bids to sign AC Milan forward Ronaldinho and take former England captain David Beckham on loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Samba has expressed his dismay at Venky's handling of matters at the club and believes it is now time to leave.
"This is my fifth season here. I've had ups and downs but I don't want to waste any more time," said the centre-back. "New owners have arrived, they have fired the coach when he saved us from relegation two years ago.
"The least they could have done is come to us and explain their project. They haven't done that, it's a lack of respect. I don't want to be part of it."
