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 […]

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 […]

Always enjoyed watching Paul Ince in his glory days at Manchester United, Liverpool, Internazionale and of course appearances for England. Scoring 72 goals during his career he wasn't the most prolific but he had great pace and good passing ability and was of course uncompromising when tackling . An additional attribute of course is the canon of a shot Ince was blessed with and it most certainly […]

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 […]

The English Premier League provides the biggest stage in the world for players, managers, and coaches alike to showcase their various skills and talents. Audiences in the millions around the world watch teams and players, as fans tune into whatever TV or Internet coverage is available on a daily basis. An EPL managerial position is […]

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 […]

The most impressive side I watched, by far, on Saturday was Middlesbrough. The link-up play between Tuncay, Alves, Downing, Aliadiere and, later, Mido was sensational. Wheater was also impressive. At times, it was like watching Brazil with all of the backheels and blistering attacks. Seriously. While Spurs controlled a lot of the possession in this […]
