Blackburn Rovers are unaware of any planned takeover bid from sportswear supremo Chris Ronnie.
However, the Lancashire Evening Telegraph says a source has indicated takeover discussions have not as yet involved Ronnie, or anybody claiming to represent him.
The source said: "The sale process continues and there are a number of people talking to the trustees' advisers.
"However, Chris Ronnie's name has never cropped up to my knowledge at any stage in the process."
