Blackburn sack Sam Allardyce

[Arron]

This time last week I posted about Chris Hughton gettin the boot from Newcastle..

Today, Sam Allardyce has been sacked from Blackburn Rovers.

Blackburn Rovers have announced the departure of their manager, Sam Allardyce, and his assistant, Neil McDonald, "as part of our wider plans and ambitions for the club".


The move came after their 2-1 defeat to one of Allardyce's former clubs, Bolton Wanderers, yesterday, and with the club 13th in the Premier League.


A club statement read: "The Venky's Group, owners of Blackburn Rovers Football Club, has today confirmed the departure of manager Sam Allardyce and assistant manager Neil McDonald with immediate effect. First-team coaching duties will be taken on by Steve Kean (currently first-team coach) for the immediate future.

considering the trouble blackburn was in when sam went to them, id say he hasnt done a bad job, considering the funds hes been given.

didnt see this coming though

It seems that clubs that have been in mid-league most of their 'life' have decided its not good enough, thats the way I'm seeing it anyway

New owners, new start.
I'm not too shocked, and I think Sam could get another good job if he really wanted to.

Sam was a great manager :\ obviously Bolton were his old club and Blackburn didn't play awful, they only lost 2-1.. and Bolton are on great form this season...

I support Bolton btw :p
