Allardyce

Hughton to Blackburn?

"Blackburn have sacked Sam Allardyce. Club statement: "We have taken this decision as part of our wider plans and ambitions for the club.""

Absolute cunts Blackburn couldn't of had a more suited man In charge of their club. I wish the new owners nothing but bad luck now.

exactly

i absolutely despise the fat cunt, but this is a hilariously disgraceful decision

Watch out Fergie, Jose and Benitez, Sam is after your job! I can't help but laugh at this after the amount of times he has spoke out against Newcastle and the brilliant job be was doing at Newcastle, and just the way he speaks about himself in general as such a top manager. Where now for Fat Sam? He'll probably think Liverpool. Realistically as far as the Premiership goes I can only really see a possibility of Wigan or West Ham later in the season, unless Wolves, Blackpool or West Brom were doing awful and pressed the panic button.

(srk starts furiously hitting 'refresh' on the Real Madrid website, waiting for the announcement that will lead to the Special One coming to save us.)

Allardyce to West Ham
Holloway to Blackburn

Blackpool to become shit
Me to finally start getting payouts on my bets

Yeah not happy with this decision at all. Sam, for all his faults, is fundamentally a good football manager, that can't be denied. Sure he has ideas above his own station but he's saved us from the shit, got us probably on course for another top 10 finish, especially with new signings in January and the fact we usually finish a season better than we start it, and now he's been sacked.

Only thing I will say is that it does appear that we will have a fair bit of money to spend this January. Sam is one of the best around at managing on a tight budget, and while that was the case for a while, now it seems like we'll have £10-15 million to spend this window, maybe more. Plus Sam's sacking wouldve cost the owners a fair bit too. I guess this means we're at least getting more investment in players than we initially thought. He'd more than earned his chance to have a go at spending that money though.

Sam might come across as a turbocunt and people might laugh at his managerial skills, but leaving the Real Madrid chat aside he is someone who has always had to put up with people not giving him enough credit.

At Bolton he finished level on points with Liverpool for the final Champions League slot one year and had numerous top 6 finishes and a cup final appearance and yet all people could talk about was his style of football. At Newcastle he was sacked after taking over a team which had finished near the relegation zone and having them in mid table - after 6 months. And with Rovers he's done a good job again. TBF if everyone focused on the negative things I'd done without giving me credit for any of the things I'd done well I'd probably turn into a bit of a cunt too.

Anyway not happy, this isn't the Rovers way at all. Rumours are that Martin Jol might be the man coming in, but not from any great sources so don't put any money down..

this makes me immensly happy, no doubt he thinks he will be taking over Benitez at Inter within weeks, the deluded twat

newcastle fans are deluded, you were perfect for each other

Yeah, the chief difference being that Rovers fans know a bit more about the game than Geordies, and if you go to our forum you'll see a lot of unhappy people.

Isn't it a bit rich of you guys to be laughing and be pleased that this has happened to Sam, considering what just happened at your club?

how so?

i just think Allaydyce is a cunt to be fair, he is a good manager at what he does, but he is massively deluded. To be fair its shocking really, just dont like him and thats why i find it highly amusing. I hope you's get Hughton to be fair, i dont mind Blackburn as a club (despite they seem to be a massive bogey team for us), and i think he could do a good job (although no doubt you would want a bigger name) and dont say Rovers fans know more about the game than Geordies, no need for stereotyping, all clubs have fucking idiots for fans and people who are intelligent and know what they are talking about

was a bit of a wind up, but also if you ask most Newcastle fans they'll still insist that sacking Sam was absolutely the right thing to do at the time, despite the fact they were in mid table, he'd barely had half a season and they subsequently went into freefall. IMO and a lot of other peoples' clearly it wasn't the right thing to do, but then thats been an argument I've done to death on here.

People on the Rovers board are rightly pissed off at this on the whole, even people who were initially against appointing him.

Anyway, no matter how much of a cunt you think Sam is, he's been really harshly treated at the last two jobs he's been to. I'm just disappointed also because it seems to be ripping apart the model our club has done so well on over the last few years.

Oh and if I was West Ham I'd sign up Sam in a heartbeat. He WILL keep them up.

Wonder if Shearer will be interested? Or Sutton ;D

i can't see that happening after Sutton's recently experience at Lincoln City
