Blackburn Rovers: When Owners Turn Chicken
One emerging problem with the "benefactor model" of club ownership is "what happens next?" Blackburn Rovers have struggled with this problem since their 1990s benefactor, steel magnate Jack Walker, died in 2000. And current owners Venky's are not, yet anyway, the solution. Walker, who famously took Rovers to/bought the 1995 Premier League title, made some post-benefactor plans, forming the "Jack Walker Settlement" (JWS), a trust based in the Jersey tax haven, where he lived from 1974, when his riches attracted taxes which the great benefactor was.
