Blackburn gave Coachman Sam his marching orders today. Seems a strange one - maybe he's got something lined up?
Whilst I wouldn't fancy a season ticket anywhere with Allardyce in charge, no one can question his ability to make teams hard to beat.
New owners with no knowledge of football, I would hate to be a Blackburn fan now.
It's absolutely ridiculous at the moment, no wonder players show no loyalty when the clubs couldn't give a **** about the managers when things go a little south!!
There was a guy on twitter predicted it at 3:00 i had a look at betting on it and he was 40/1 for next manager to be sacked. I contemplated a tenner on it but thought against it not being a betting man and never do it. Then look what happens.
For reference - @cwarr07
dammit, Newcastle just missed him! 😉
Chelsea looking for a new manager? Or will it be Liverpool?
managers that play this style of football should be outlawed, along with the likes of Bolton and Stoke etc....cloggers

Allardyce is no way good enough to attract the attention of either club. Although the appointment of Hodgson makes me wonder...
Does seem like a crazy decision mind, speshly at this stage of the season.
Sacking Chris Hughton seemed insane too. Mind you, Pardew managed to win his first game in charge against Liverpool! 😡
I think there's only one or two English managers who are actually World Class at the mo. Redknapp and erm, er...

Redknapp World Class please tell me how you come to that conclusion? If Harry Redknapp is World Class what the hell is Alex Ferguson

Harry Redknapp? - World class? away and take your face for a jobbie! The guy is in his sixties and has NEVER WON ANYTHING!.
Sounds like the ideal candidate for the England job then!
I'm no fan of the crinkle faced tax dodger, but he did win the fa cup with Portsmouth. Nearly put the club out of existence but he has one something. It could also be said that spuds getting 4th and getting through to the knockout stages of the champions league is an achievement.
He along with mclaren are probably the only English managers that have experience in the champs league.
Football is a game for over paid, mercenary, drama queens, why am a not suprised that a bloke with a user name like gary_lager, has started a thread like this 🙄
A season ticket ❓ 😯
Nice thread gary_lager, you rock!
kaesae....bore off.
Morning barry bethel 😯 , I take it you like blokes with a bit of a gary_lager ❓
COMEBACK! SAMWISE BUMHEED [s]FRODO[/s] GARY_LAGER NEEDS YOU!

To be fair under Owen Coyle Bolton are actually playing abit now - probably why they are in the upper reaches of the league.
Rumour is the Blackburn owners want Maradona to replace him. They really don't understand the English game...
If Harry Redknapp is World Class what the hell is Alex Ferguson?
Erm - Scottish. 😛
Speaking as a Bolton Supporter, hearing that they want Maradona has made my day 😆
I think City set the standard, as they have done in many areas recently, for just how appallingly you can behave.
The way they treated Mark Hughes was absolutely atrocious. The lack of respect for someone of his pedigree was embarrassing to witness. And a clear sign they new eff all about the game. He was certainly the only one to emerge with any dignity from the debacle.
But... as is usually the case in the modern game, other owners/meglomaniacs have decided to take up the baton and run with it in the drive to the bottom. In an ideal world I'd like to see Newcastle, Blackburn and City in the relegation positions. Just to teach the owners a lesson and vindicate a few people who deserved far far better treatment.
It'll be interesting to see how the scousers conduct themselves when they get wid of woy in a few weeks, eh Fred? 😉

I heard that the new owner had a cousin living in Shadsworth that fancied working in football... Innit.
I think City set the standard
I think the players have been setting the standard of disrespect for some time now and they will do anything to increase their exorbitant wages - Rooney, Tevez, Adebayor - Gerrard and terry flirting with other clubs etc to get even more millions. I still watch but I am lot less bothered these days about what the latest mercenary to pull on the shirt of the club I support manages that day
It is a game a wash with money and bereft of morals
I am at the game this Saturday will be interesting
Despite Blackburns recent good form, its not that surprising, Big Sam's style of play isnt exactly attractive... I wouldnt be surprised if they are looking at whats happened at Bolton in the last year & thinking we could do with a bit of that!
Bolton are playing some of the best football in the premier league at the moment, hats off to them!
Also Kaesae, Football is a game for Men, all men, & especially the working classes... it just happens to be full on ponces at the top level, check your local sunday league if you dont think its a man's game! 😉
trailmoggy you tit!

Sam took over Blackburn who were rock bottom at the time and are looking like a mid table side now with spending nothing or very little money. They might not be easy on the eye but he gets the results in a results based industry.
Be careful what you wish for Mr Rao, Jack Walker will be turning in his grave.
FOOTBALL, the more you drink, the more sense it makes!

I shall make the observation that no-one complains about their team's style of football if their team is winning.
Andy
Yes they do Brazil, Toon, Tottenham etc - roughly 50/50 split from Rovers fans re Sam and his style
GO POSTERS GO!
LET'S HAVE A CHANT?
Apologies all - I observed that Kaesae was dumber than a bag of bearings in one of his (extremely weak) troll threads, and it seems to have touched a nerve with the poor fella. Hence his mong roars currently resounding throughout this thread.
If someone could start a bearings thread it might distract the big daftie enough to lumber away from this one.

Go on then, I'll bite.
You are obviously either
1.someone who believes what you read in the gutter press
2. somebody who hasn't seen a game of football in the last 5 years
or
3. one of those saddo's who has it in for some teams due to some percieved sleight in the past and can't face up to your own team's inadequacies. Guessing either a Championship side or some of the dross from the arse end of the Prem.
Hence his mong roars currently resounding throughout this thread.

Cheers gary makes more sense now ...well sort off
Did he do the tags ??even for stw he is on the loon end of the scale
Try one on water, bearings, celestial realignment and bad backs and lets see what happens
Jamie that rocks I have begun making a list now!
...or 4, an Arsenal fan?
I suspect the new blackburn owners want something they can market, Hense, not big sam, not his style of play & probably not blackburn haha!
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes them to meet the top 5 finish they want....
Can Fulam have Woy back when Liverpool have finished with him, all these draws are getting a bit tedious 🙁
Top five finish? They're not going to appoint a manager for 2 months. And they're prepared to lavish a whole £5 million in the trnsfr window. Enough to buy you Wayne Rooneys enormous head, or about a month and a half of Tevez's wages.
I think there may have to be a certain managing of expectations needed
You couldn't make it up... http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Blackburn-want-Diego-Maradona-to-replace-Sam-Allardyce-as-manager-yes-manager-article650769.html
Oh, wait a minute - somebody did...
Talking of styles of football & saying big Sams style is crap, Arsenal play very attractive football, but when was the last time they won anything.
I like Sam as a manager & think Blackburn will struggle to get anyone better, one of the best around is Big Eck at Brum, he has done well in every job he's had with limited resources & gets the best out of average players & creates team spirit. I tip him to be the next Man U manager when SAF retires, but in saying that managing a club with superstars & superstar egos is different though,the wage structure for top players causes unrest in the dressing rooms.
Bolton football.........not a chance, i'm sick of hearing how they're playing better football, this maybe only because they could'nt play any less.
with the likes of Kevin Davies
they're a pub team
Has to be said; Bolton were never this good under Big Sam.
Bolton are maybe playing better but they have never played good football, they just don't have the players to do it.
I'm a Wigan fan and have been for 30 years, and we still have 2 big players out from playing them thugs from Horwich almost 2 months ago, so don't tell me they play good football.
Oh and Mr Sparkle, yes my team are in the lower reaches of the prem and unless we improve could very well end up in the champioship, but ive seen my team rise from literally the bottom of the football league to the premiership and how many can say that?
Wimbledon did it and they won the cup.I think it was Southern League to cup win in 12 years?
