Stan Collymore urges the owners of Blackburn Rovers to leave in the wake of Michael Appleton's sacking.

Former England striker Stan Collymore has encouraged the Rao family to sell Blackburn Rovers.

The Indians, who own poultry company Venky's, sacked their third manager of the campaign this morning when they parted company with Michael Appleton after just 15 matches in charge at Ewood Park.

With that in mind, Collymore has accused the owners of "killing" the Championship club.

"Venkys. The absolute worst of football ownership. Killing a founder member, unforgivable. Get out. Go," Collymore wrote on Twitter.

Steve Kean and Henning Berg are the other managers that have been relieved of their duties since August.
