GLEN Mullan has urged football’s governing bodies to finally start an investigation into Blackburn Rovers’ decline – warning that otherwise he will go public this summer with a range of his own findings.

Blackburn Rovers Action Group chairman Mullan and his colleagues met the FA, the Football League, the Premier League and the government’s Minister for Sport Hugh Robertson last summer to outline a number of issues they were concerned about at the club under Venky’s rule.

A 400-page document was presented to the FA, detailing the findings of BRAG’s own inquiry into the running of the club.

The FA confirmed that they would review the evidence but Mullan is frustrated that BRAG has been left to continue the investigation themselves at their own expense.

Blackburn MP Jack Straw recently asked Mr Robertson for an update on the position of the government and the footballing authorities.

He received in response a letter from the Football League, reiterating that Rovers’ owners ‘complied with all regulations’ regarding the Owners and Directors Test.

But the Football League also said that, after renewed contact from BRAG regarding further information on the ownership of the club, they are again willing to meet.

That meeting is now expected to take place soon, with the FA or the Football League both having the power to investigate according to their own individual set of regulations.

And Mullan says the footballing authorities must now take the lead, otherwise the BRAG will release their findings publicly once the season ends.

“We’ve continued working on it for the last nine months and we’ve made progress,” said the BRAG chairman.

“But it’s disgusting that supporters are expected to do it themselves. We’ve got zero budget, we’re not private investigators.

“Even though our membership is free, we’ve probably spent about £15,000 of our own money to look into everything. The FA won’t spend £1 of their money and that’s not right.

“We want to get the season out of the way and we want everyone to get right behind Gary Bowyer and help the club stay up, because the football comes first.

“But if the FA don’t investigate then at the start of June we will start putting things out there in the public domain.

“We have got key witnesses who have come forward and are ready to give evidence.”

The FA were unable to comment when contacted by the Lancashire Telegraph.
