Blackburn owners Venkys have denied the club is on the market following relegation from the Premier League.
Rovers 11-year stay within the top flight came to an end on Monday following defeat to Wigan, prompting fans to name for manager Steve Kean and the clubs owners to go away.
"It's a company of ours and there's nothing in it," co-owner Venkatesh Rao told the days of India.
Meanwhile, MP Jack Straw has called for an investigation into Venkys takeover.
Writing in his Lancashire Telegraph column, Straw said: "On the heart of the Premier Leagues wilful neglect of its responsibilities is its so-called fit and correct person test.
"The test is laughable and almost everyone within the business knows this. It allows no period of probation for brand spanking new owners, no assessment in their managerial competence, no disclosure of the insidious role of agents.
"The Premier League must now mount an entire investigation into what business model Venkys thought they were buying and what sort of money have been made by folks that sold them this model.
"i will not believe that this Indian family poultry business had any idea of the financial and reputational risks they were taking up. Why were they not warned?"
Blackburn confirmed the departure of deputy chief executive Paul Hunt on Thursday, but Rao denied that his dismissal was caused by a leaked letter calling for Kean to be sacked.
"It's not sacking caused by that," he added. "Some staff should leave and we need to bring budgets down, so it's nothing to do with it."
