BRISBANE Roar's new Indonesian investors have vowed they won't interfere with A-League coach-of-the year Ange Postecoglou's running of his title-defending team.

The Bakrie Group, founded by billionaire entrepreneur and politician Aburizal Bakrie, will be confirmed as the Roar's majority shareholder on Friday at Suncorp Stadium.

It's understood the Bakrie Group will buy a 70 per cent share in the Roar and commit themselves to the club for 10 years.

Current owners Football Federation Australia will temporarily retain the other 30 per cent as they search for other potential investors.

Aga Bakrie and the man who will be appointed Roar chairman, former Asian Football Confederation official Dali Tahir, are expected to be in Brisbane for Friday's announcement along with FFA chief executive Ben Buckley and A-League boss Lyall Gorman.

The group - which specialises in mining, agriculture, real estate, trade, shipping, banking, insurance, manufacturing and construction - also owns Indonesian club Pelita Jaya and Belgian lower-division outfit Vise.

"The Bakrie Group is passionate about sports, and we have investments in a number of football clubs around the world," Aga Bakrie told The Courier-Mail last night.

"Our philosophy is investment for the long term and to build the clubs for success in a controlled and sustainable way."

Bakrie also dispelled fears that Brisbane's new owners would attempt to influence team selections by demanding Indonesian players are drafted into the Roar squad.

"(Our) approach includes ensuring team selection remains the responsibility of the manager (Postecoglou), not the owner," he said.

Brisbane have already filled their five permitted visa player spots, but with three places still available in their playing roster, the Roar could potentially sign two Australian marquee players, who could be paid outside the salary cap.

FFA chief Buckley said the Bakrie Group's interests were "in line with our outlook for the Roar".

"We have been working extremely hard to find the right investors for our leading A-League club and we have been talking with the Bakrie Group for some time," Buckley said.

"They have a strong background in football through ownership of several other clubs."
