Came through Blackburns boot room. 
Was a youth coach, the reserve team manager, then caretaker, than manager.

I saw the headline "Bowyer appointed Blackburn manager" and was shocked because I thought it was Lee Bowyer
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

The next Portsmouth? Blackburn face losses of £40m THIS YEAR
Blackburn have been warned that they could lose up to £40m this year and that they risk following Portsmouth in tumbling down the Football League.

In a report released on Wednesday, The Rovers Trust – who obtained their first stake in the club in April – revealed that the decision to operate with a Premier League budget by owners Venky’s is having a crippling effect on finances.
Revenue is down by around £30m following relegation to the Championship last year. But Anuradha Desai – the woman presiding over the demise at Ewood Park – sanctioned an £8m deal for striker Jordan Rhodes last summer, as well as spending top flight wages on Danny Murphy, Dickson Etuhu and Leon Best.
‘Our observations for 2013 are not happy reading,’ said the Trust’s finance officer Dan Grabko. ‘We expect huge losses for the club.’
Bitter boardroom battles between Derek Shaw, Paul Agnew and Shebby Singh throughout the season have seen Rovers shell out £4m in compensation with departed managers Steve Kean, Henning Berg and Michael Appleton.
Berg lasted just 57 days before being sacked amid power struggles and was handed £2.25m after Rovers were branded ‘out of control’ in the High Court.
'There are a lot of things at Blackburn that are not right,' Berg told Sportsmail. ‘They need to change. I knew it was a risk to take the job, but it was completely strange.
'There were things that should never happen. Problems developed as to how we were together. If it was purely a football decision I believe I would still be there.'
Singh doesn’t speak to Shaw or Agnew and remains ostracised. 'I should have seen the owners face-to-face. Shebby was supposed to be the middle man,' the Norwegian added.
The financial year ends on June 30 with the club’s accounts expected to reveal that Rovers are solely reliant on Venky’s keeping them afloat, while Shaw didn’ t comment on suggestions that they were haemorrhaging £2m a month.Comment
