Who else could have saved Blackburn so effortlessly? Sat second bottom of the Premier League, five points from safety with just 13 points from 17 games, Sam Allardyce succeeded Paul Ince as Blackburn Rovers' manager, and in less than 20 games he has made them all but safe – almost in second gear. He took Bolton […]

When the final whistle went and those West Ham fans who'd spent most of Saturdays game against Chelsea abusing former old boys, Frank Lampard and John Terry, had disappeared to the pubs around and about, I bet they never thought they'd ever see either player back at Upton Park that soon. Obviously they were unaware […]

Buoyed by Mark Hughes’ overachievement and shrewd signings, Blackburn had been living in a fantasyland of consistent contention for Europe. Paul Ince transported them rudely back to small city reality. Blackburn took an admirable risk, hiring the Premier League’s first black manager, but, in this instance, it clearly backfired. You know things are dreary when Sam Allardyce […]

Just when we thought this Saturday was going to be a bit of a snoozer in the Premier League, Paul Ince gets sacked and Blackburn Rovers have now appointed Sam Allardyce as the club's new manager. His first match in charge will be this Saturday at Ewood Park against Stoke City. In some ways, Big […]

Blackburn Rovers announced this morning that Paul Ince has been sacked. The move was a smart decision by Rovers who can't afford for the club to get relegated. But who will Blackburn put in charge to replace Incey? Vote now. Who should be the next Blackburn manager? ( surveys)

Paul Ince has been sacked as manager of Blackburn Rovers. It's not much of a surprise, especially after their convincing loss away to Wigan on Saturday, but they need to move quickly to replace Ince. Blackburn face Stoke on Saturday in a must-win relegation battle. I believe the perfect replacement for Paul Ince is Roy […]

If you were the Blackburn Rovers board, would you sack Paul Ince or keep him? Blackburn currently sits second from bottom. And the last time they won in the league was September 27th when they beat Newcastle. Vote now and express your opinion. What would you do about Paul Ince if you were […]

Football is littered with players whose careers have been curtailed before their time, sometimes through off field excesses, sometimes by the wear and tear of top level football, but Matt Jansen is certainly one of those players who certainly had more than a bit of bad luck push him to the periphery of the game. Today, Jansen […]
