  "account": "Mowbray expresses confidence in Blackburn's transfer window plans following Venky’s support at Ewood Park. Following their 3-1 victory over Millwall, Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray revealed that he has received a promise of financial support to bolster the team's squad in January. This comes after a failed attempt to complete several transfers before the summer deadline. Balaji Rao, part of the Venky’s ownership, attended Ewood Park on Saturday, and Mowbray believes the promised financial assistance is available. Mowbray stated, \"I sit here having spoken to him and the support is still there and the financial help we require in January.\" Despite the team's inability to sign additional players, Mowbray remains optimistic about signing new signings from January 1. He acknowledged the chants from supporters directed at the ownership during the Millwall match, expressing gratitude for their continued backing. However, Mowbray declined to delve into the reasons behind the fans' frustrations, focusing instead on matters related to the pitch.",
