Part 2 of our round-up... Arsenal gaffer Arsene Wenger is pondering a bid for Raffaele Palladino,
and may make a move for the Juventus midfielder in the summer. (Star) Chelsea boss Avram Grant will
make a move for Palermo's Brazilian striker Amauri at the end of the season. (Sunday Mirror)
Liverpool captain Stevie Gerrard reckons that ex-gaffer [.
So Big Sam Allardyce has finally been sacked by Newcastle United, and the whole of the UK can
breathe a sigh of relief and wait with baited breath for the next press-led torch burning,
pitchfork wielding, managerial witchunt (our money is on Rafa)... In the meantime, the non-thinking
man's newspaper, The Sun [.
Who will replace Mark Hughes as Blackburn manager? They will certainly have a tough job on their
hands keeping the nucleus of the current squad together, in addition to bringing in fresh talent to
try and ensure a top half Premier League finish is realised once again. Sam Allardyce has already
thrown his hat into [.
Blackburn chairman John Williams reckons a new managerial appointment should be made at the end of
the week, and it's looking like one of two candidates at the moment. In the red corner, we have Sam
Allardyce, good at Bolton and not given much time to be anything other than a failure at Newcastle.
In [.
Part two of Sunday's match previews.
Good afternoon folks. Apologies for the slowdown in posts but I'm working on a few stories and
also preparing for SBI's trip to Florida for the MLS Combine.
Here are some European soccer news tidbits for those of you who have been busy doing things like
working and studying:
Newcastle sacks Allardyce.
Avram Grant was criticised this week for leaving Joe Cole out of the starting XI that faced Wigan
on Monday. Many fans at Stamford Bridge chanted 'you don't know what you're doing' at the Chelsea
manager and according to The Sun, Tal Ben Haim might have been joining in. You might be forgiven
for thinking that [.
Will Steve McClaren, Paul Ince and Sam Allardyce be overtaken on the line by this dark horse,
finishing fast on the rails? The Guardian report that Henk Ten Cate is back in the race to be the
next Blackburn manager, with Rovers chairman John Williams jetting out to see the Dutchman
yesterday, quizzing him [.
Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce will be hoping that 2008 brings improved fortunes after a nightmare
first few months in the St James' Park hotseat. Despite the Magpies sitting relatively comfortably
in mid-table, there has been open hostility to the former Bolton coach, as well as daily
speculation over his future.
To be fair, if Joey Barton was anything other than a professional footballer, he would have run out
of chances a long time ago. However, the Daily Mail report that his career could be effectively
over, with Newcastle United planning to release the player who is currently on a suspended
£55k a week while in [.
Well, maybe not the fans favourite but he's currently at the top of bookmakers' lists. While Blackburn might talk of not rushing to appoint a replacement for Mark Hughes, the truth is that they can't leave it very long at all, especially with player contracts to sort out and potential new signings to be lined [.
They say that if you gave a million monkeys a million typewriters and had them bashing away for a million years, you would end up with the complete works of Shakespeare. One wonders whether Sam Allardyce, if given a million years, a million players and an endless dripfeed of cash could have turned [.
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 [...]
It's entirely possible that Sam Allardyce is in pole position to become the next manager of
Blackburn Rovers. After all, he has been interviewed at Ewood Park about the position and has
demonstrated his prowess in the Premier League with Bolton. Some might argue he might have done
well at St James' Park if he'd [.
It appears that the club have made a decision over who to appoint as their next manager. Blackburn
chairman John Williams has conducted a string of interviews with the likes of Sam Allardyce, Steve
McClaren and Michael Laudrup, although it seems he and the board have decided to plump for an
up-and-coming candidate instead of [.
Sir Alex Ferguson spoke highly of United's opening Club World Cup opponents - and Japanese football
in general - following a thrilling semi-final in Yokohama. "Gamba surprised us with their
formation and caused us a few problems until we adapted a bit better to them." Sir Alex is
already looking forward to Sunday's historic final [.
