Blackburn boss seeks transfer budget increase after owner talks

Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray is optimistic after meeting with the club's owners in Switzerland to discuss increasing the transfer budget. The club has only made one new signing this summer, prompting Mowbray to urge for more financial support to enhance competitiveness in the Championship. Blackburn finished 20th last season, raising concerns about relegation risks without additional players. Mowbray emphasized the need for strategic recruitment to replicate other clubs' successes, such as Hull City, which advanced to the Premier League after a similar struggle. He left the meeting hopeful that the owners will consider his appeal for more resources.
