LET says Rovers have spoken to Shearer and Sam....

LET - Shearer and Sam

As far as Martin Samuels is concerned (see philipl above)...I have very little respect for so called journalists following football live as they simply concentrate on easy subjects like personalities, but at least Samuels noticed that Ferguson got "turned over" with our tactics at Ewood last season.

Confirmed on theBBC web site:

"I got a call from the Blackburn chief executive John Williams and he asked me if I wanted to be on the shortlist to be the new manager, but I said no because of other commitments I've got, namely my BBC work and other things. It's not the right time for me."

BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer

So no Mary Poppins.

Shearer's no seems to have caught most of the press unprepared unlike the Express which had suggested it would happen 24 hours earlier.

Times says its open and BFS is making not selling anybody a precondition

The Guardian had still completely missed what had happened when I went to bed last night and carry this mush of inaccuracies (Shearer is at last stage of UEFA licence; he hasn't got it yet) saying Allardyce is favourite and Rovers need the cash from RSC and Bentley sales.

More muddled garbage from the Guardian trying to fly the black flag for Ince

Independent is more measured suggesting Rovers have a choice between the untried and unpopular. Also makes the point that for us to talk to Ince, we need to ask MK Dons which has not happened and could be a major hurdle to conducting an exploratory interview.

Only Advocaat of the non-British managers is getting a mention.

Nothing Seen on the four "qualities" web sites this morning.

Interview with UNICEF Ambassador Slaven Bilic in the Independent- no direct mention of Rovers but the guy is obviously happy to keep his profile high in the British media.

Incidentally, the HTC to Panathanaikos story is scarcely touched with just the odd agency-credited brief news snippets.

The BBC gossip has this:

Paul Ince will be confirmed as new Blackburn manager within the next few days. (Daily Mirror)
