Blackburn Rovers' Chairman John Williams resigns
Premier league club Blackburn Rovers' Chairman John Williams has handed over his resignation, ending his 14 years with the club.
The Chairman becomes the second high profile person to leave the club since the arrival of new owners Venky’s, as manager Sam Allardyce was also sacked within a month of the arrival of the new owners.
Williams joined the club as the Chief executive in 1997 and was promoted to Chairman in 2005. There were a lot of speculations regarding the chairperson, as Williams had himself confirmed that he wanted to leave the club back in December.
"With our new owners the Venkys Group, I have no doubt this is a new dawn for the Club. There is a new order, a new way of doing things and I believe the time is right for me now to move on,” stated the Chairman.
He wished all the players, the management and the owners the best of luck for their future endeavors and expected Blackburn to reach new heights. Blackburn Rovers' managing director, Mr. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-c35214 Finn thanked the parting Chairman for his services on behalf of
the fans and owners and wished Williams the best of luck for the future.
Many changes have taken place in Blackburn Rovers' administration since the arrival of the new owners, and their first major move was sacking manager Sam Allardyce. Steve Kean was appointed as the new boss and the Riversiders are currently 9th
in the premier league standings. The management had to convince many players, who were upset with the sacking of Allardyce, to remain with the club, which included club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Samba.
Also, Venky’s, to create a sense of positivity in the club, wanted to bring in high profile names to the club; the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 were approached but the club failed to capture any of the two. However, the management did sign Argentinean
