No Truth In Bank Story say Venkys

Blackburn Rovers owners Venky's have denied a newspaper report claiming the club's future is at risk.

There was a piece in the Sunday Telegraph which said that the owners were under pressure from Barclays Bank to provide a £10million equity injection to reduce their reliance on an overdraft.

But on Monday, a spokesman from Venkys told the Lancashire Telegraph: "There is no truth in reports that the club's future is at risk or that there is a chance the players will not get paid.

"We have a good relationship with the bank and I don't know where these stories come from."
