Blackburn

[Falconhoof]

Interesting stat has just cropped up on the BBC

"Blackburn had two more points under Paul Ince at the same stage last season"

 

Why isn't the Ferguson Accolyte coming under the same sort of pressure that Ince was ?

 

Lets see if anyone in the press mentions sacking him if they stay down near the foot of the table.

I always thought the whole 'no black football managers' thing was a load of rubbish, but there's definitely some sort of stigma out there.

I'm not sure its that, i'd be more inclined to believe its about the reputation Allardyce has built for himself. He's seen as a character in the game and a steady manager. He's manouvred himself into that football establishment that Ferguson and redknapp inhabit. He should be under more pressure than he has been.

 

They have pretty much a full squad today so i'm not expecting Portsmouth to beat them unfortunately.

Pompey are now 1-0 up. Good work.

he was hilarious in his motd interview basically patting himself on the back for making two subs that changed the game

[Jarg Armani]

hope he doesn't get any pressure from the press. and that they go down without a ripple.

In fairness to Blackburn, Ince had taken 2 points from the previous 11 league games when he was sacked.

Its often hard to agree or disgree with a sacking without being within the club i feel

Alot of it is a 'mood within the camp' thing
