Who would be the better choice for the Blackburn job? Now that Alan Shearer has politely excused himself and eased back into his relaxed BBC career, it looks to be a two-horse race between the young and talented Paul Guv’nor Ince and the old hand Sam Allardyce. Ince has done a brilliant job at MK Dons, but has he got it in him to jump two divisions? On the other hand, Allardyce’s last attempt at management showed all the attacking panache and dynamism of a Douglas Bader and Ironside strikeforce.
“Blackburn Rovers appeared to be facing a choice of the untested and the unpopular last night after Alan Shearer ruled himself out of the race to succeed Mark Hughes as the club’s manager. Chief executive, John Williams, must now decide whether to approach MK Dons for permission to speak to Paul Ince – he had not as of yesterday afternoon – or proceed with Sam Allardyce, installed last night as bookies’ favourite. (Independent)”
So which would be preferable?

Fantastic news that big al turned downed the ungratefull sad lot at blackburn. He owes them absolutely nothing. I really hope they end up with fat sam as a result, they deserve him. Shearer almost single handed won them the premiership. His home town club then, on the back of being premier league runners up, come in for him and pay a world record fee. Where most fans would hold their hands up and say fair enough, thanks for everything, the majority of blackburn fans have given him the most horrendous time since leaving. The abuse he received following his depature was a total joke. What does a small team in lancashite expect…. Wait for your homecoming job when the time is right, dont waste your time on small time club management. Look at hughes, he couldnt waste anymore time there. The fact he’s gone to city to better himself says alot about them..

Allardyce is ex-bolton… and is only good at working with players who over slightly over the hill. His downfall at newcastle was that prozone rubbish, its good for 30+’s and the average players like nolan, but i cant see Bentley, or gamst pedersen hanging around if Allardyce gets the job.
Ince should get the chance, a young ENGLISH manager, give him the job, and he will come good. The blackburn board always give full support to managers. and in his first big job thats what he wants.
