Christopher Samba criticises Blackburn owners

Christopher Samba criticises Blackburn Rovers owners Venky's over "broken promises".

Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba has slammed the club's owners Venky's, claiming that they "don't understand" English football.

Samba requested a transfer this month but, despite an offer from QPR and interest from Spurs, a move a failed to materialise.

The Rovers captain has called on Venky's to grant him his move away from Ewood Park. He believes that there have been "broken promises" regarding the plans described to him when he signed a new deal in January. Now, the Congolese international wants the club to stop pricing him out of a move.

"I signed a new deal last January because Venky's told me they had big plans. Names like Ronaldinho were mentioned and they promised there was going to be a lot of investment in the team. It hasn't happened," the 27-year-old told The Sun.

"They don't understand football in this country and they don't realise how much I've given to Blackburn and that they have broken promises they have made.

"I'm not a £15m player, Blackburn signed me for £400,000 from Hertha Berlin and if they get £7m now then that's very good business."

Samba had made 161 appearances since signing for Rovers in 2007.
