Ince sacked

I wonder if his eyes will calm down now?

The squad that lost 3-0 to Wigan:

Robinson, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Warnock, Emerton, Kerimoglu, Roberts, Andrews, Treacy, Pedersen, Dunn, Roque Santa Cruz, Derbyshire. Brown, McCarthy, Villanueva, Simpson.

A real mix.

Do I hear wedding bells?

Jealous?

i don't know, are you near a church?

Great sense of humour. Such an attractive quality.

To be honest I don't think that the future looks that bright whoever (looking at realistic options) takes over, they have to hope to avoid relegation and that the club gets sold to someone with a plan at the end of the season. I'd agree that Alladyce would be a better appointment but could Blackburn afford his huge backroom staff and would he even want the job?

I thought the injury crisis tended to shape up over time - I agree though that his old school training methods don't seem a long term bet. I just think that given limited resources he would make them a team who would fight and that it might be enough as they do have some decent players as a lot of fighters in the squad. I don't think a manager like Curbishley for example would have much to work with give his style of play.

I think Allardyce would take most Premiership jobs. He won't get offered Sunderland IMO and he's been out of work for a while.

Geographically it would be a good move for him and he'd be a safe bet to avoid relegation. Whether he could keep Santa Cruz is another question but I don't see too many other options for them.

Good, now Blackburn should stop trying to steal all our youth players and coaches

Whatever happens they need to buy a new midfield in January or else they will go down

There was talk of Santa Cruz going to City for £18m in January.

£18m Madness

[Sarb]

Santa Cruz is a good player though

Robbie Keane at 20 million means we can never laugh at the madness of others again.

Well he's better than Jo and they paid £19m for him!

They got seriously tucked up with Jo. Santa Cruz is good, but he's never worth £18m.

Huntelaar cost Madrid £17m, possibly rising to £23m. Interesting to see how he does and how much he plays when the older, more horsey-looking version of him recovers from injury.
