Sam "Big Sam" Allardyce is back in football, this time as manager of Blackburn Rovers who has sacked their manager, Paul Ince.There was no doubting the fact that Ince would be given the boot as their form has been poor to say the least. No victory in 11 games can only mean a slide towards regulation, and that is not a word that is palatable to the ears of football club owners theses days.
I really wished Paul would succeed. I admired him as a Manchester United and England player and I've been following his career as a football manager especially his stint at MK Dons. I saw the Don's play times without number in Milton Keynes and I was impressed with with the teams brand of attacking football. Maybe the Blackburn role came too early for him but it still was a chance to make a big leap in his career.
It's up to Big Sam to turn things around at Ewood Park which I'm sure he'll do. He did a great job at Bolton and I'm sure he will draw on his wealth of experience to make a success of this.
