Ahasan Ali Syed is currently under taking a period of due diligence at the club as his advisers check over the club's accounts.

Speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire Syed revealed that time is of the essence. He said: "I am very keen to move very fast and buy this club at the earliest moment.

"I am aware that Big Sam has big ambitions for this transfer window and I would love to support his ambitions.

According to reports, the Indian businessman is looking to invest £300 million in acquiring the club, which should be enough to cover outstanding debts and fund the purchase of new players.

Syed added that Blackburn fits his style of investing and claimed the club is currently undervalued and could be turned into title contenders very quickly. Whether they will become Premier League best bets remains to be seen.
However, he also stated that he's not looking to make money out of the venture and wants to get involved with the club because he has a passion for football.

On the pitch, Blackburn got their season off to an excellent start when they beat Everton 1-0 on Saturday.

The Merseyside club has been tipped to challenge for Europe again, so Allardyce will no doubt be happy he managed to get one over and such a well-thought of side. A Blackburn win wasn't in many people's football predictions for the weekend.

Whether Blackburn can keep this up remains to be seen and there is no doubt they need to bring in some more players if they want to improve on last season's performance.

From the point of view of the Ewood Park faithful, the takeover can't happen soon enough.
