Board losing patience with Allardyce

Maybe it could happen?

Interesting but still he is is boss, so let us now just get behind the team and win the match against Villa.....cheers

ive been sniffing around whilst in the pain of summer uni.....best article of the week.....full stop.....also i noticed your cheap shot in the match report....watch it delap!!!!! lol cheers for that buddy.....looks like people are finally agreeing with the Sas.... Allardyce, time to go.......though we are leaving it too late now, action must be taken soon

I don't think changing the manager will help - we got rid of Ince, replaced him with Sam - which I was against in the first place - yet people cheered eventhough we knew what we'd get in terms of football style. Now things are back to the way it was before, so we want to sack the manager again! This costs us a lot of money which we don't have. I'm sure we will stay up this season - although we will suffer with lack of entertainment - but you need to ask yourselves - 1. Is there a better manager to replace him (I don't think Hughes will return) 2. Should we be pointing the finger more at the players for poor performances - i.e. not taking their chances to score (again which we had plenty of chances against teams, there is a lack of fight and determination) 3. Will getting a new manager in improve our situation - we have limited funds for players, and would we get an experienced manager to win a relegation scrap?

I agree, it does seem like the players are just not fighting for the results, no matter what the formation/tactics. Changing the manager is not ideal especially if you look at what else is out there, but can anyone seriously say that we have played a good game since MacDonald(hint) handed the reigns back?

I'd take it with a pinch of salt Mikey, their "exclusive" is regurgitating stuff written on the BRFCS forum, of which the journo that wrote the story is a member.

Absolute rubbish from the mirror... i dont believe a word of it!!

Managers have been sacked for less.

PS Has anyone considered the timing of this report? The eve of the Carling Cup and an attempt to distract Rovers' attention from the task wouldn't have anything to do with it??? Or am I being too cynical?

lol York... you could have a point there mate but will it actually be used as motivation?!

hey guys i heard rafa is going to be available soon! haha

Whilst I don't believe we will sack BFS anytime soon, as we are not a sacking club, something has to change. I don't get to see many matches being half way around the world so I listen to Radio Rovers on t'internet and even the guys who broadcast on there sound depresssed. In all areas of the pitch we seem weak. Our defence just lets in too many goals, our midfield gets overrun and is completely lacking in ideas and our goal scorers couldn't score in a brothel!!! I have to say a lot of this has to be laid at Big Sam's door. His constant moaning and negativity must get to the players. We've all had bosses who are like that...everything's someone else fault. This is similar to Ince and in complete contrast to Hughes. How often did you hear Hughes say such negative things? Even though he had no money he got on with the job. Yes he was castigate the players when they needed it but never in such a public and regular manner. I was ambigious when Alladyce was selected. I realised that he had done a good job at Bolton (although despite what the press always say they had not done as well as Rovers had in that time) and thought that he'd been a bit unlucky at Newcastle. He seemed used to working on a shoe-string and we all know of his track record of getting the most out of ageing players. That surprises me the most in this whole debacle...the way he has spoken about McCarthy, Roberts and his other "senior pros" makes me wonder about what approach he took at Bolton with Campo, Djorkejee (sic) etc. I doubt if it was similar to this. Perhaps the problem is that he feels frustrated because he should be at a big club and coming to Blackburn was a backward step for him. Let's give him to the summer or if we drop into the relegation zone before getting rid. Unless Hughes is willing to come back, in which case I will show BFS the door myself. Allardyce has to get us in the final of the Carling Cup and comfortably mid-table for him to silence the critics.

I think it will! the long ball aint working and hes selling our best players!
