He hasn't gone.

He's more used to being at t'other end of the table really. Would you not be interested in Sven BR?

That's more the quality I was thinking of. Sorry BR but I don't think Big Sam would be good enough. Rovers have got to a very good position now, loads of potential. They need a class manager who can build on the success and take them forward. To me, Big Sam is a mid-table calibre manager and couldn't take Rovers forward.

im by no means sayin it is good enough, but any manager knows that rovers have no money to compete with the big boys, we will always be a 6-10th place side, no "TOP" manager is gonna come here and accept that...simple as....we gotta be realistic royboy !!!

Ive always been anoyed that blackburn are a club in the premiership , who are always in the top ten and they dont get the attendances! What is wrong with the fans!!!

I think if hughes does go you can say goodbye to bentley and santa! I also think if hughes does go you may not yet get big sam , they where also putting up mclaren on the list for the job! I think in a few years rovers will be in the Championship! Unless you get big fat sam!

Managing in the biggest league in the world, taking a club hovering in European places to play with the big boys, opportunity to make a point against Barca... doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. But you never know. I just think Rovers should set their sights higher than Allardyce to start off with before settling with the guy.

you may have supported rovers for 50yrs, but you still have selective reading im not the one making a fool of myself !!....if i was your age i could say the same but alas i am not, but when i am il put it into my sig too, and il even add an ode to you ;):D

Ye that makes sense............I have corrected your post to 50 years.
An ode to me should read 'Big Sam is not the man for Rovers'.

Only if we want Rovers to go down a division.
