[Archived] BIG SAM GONE

[Hughesy]

SSN Now

Press release by the new owners Official Release

Some fans will no doubt be happy...but to others it comes as a MAJOR RISK

[snatchymcsnatch]

That was some booting - left with immediate effect - on BBC also.

[Eddie]

Got to say that I'm happy. Will be interesting to see the sort of names we can attract.

[Sysagent]

WHAT????

Yer joking???????

[OJRovers]

O'Neill

[Tom]

Mistake for me he had to have at least December to prove himself to the owners.

Jol for me now, would love Coyle but there's no chance of that.

[den]

Maybe this was the agenda for VH's meeting with Kentaro.

Astonishing. I can only assume the new boss has already been lined up.

[Guest Walshy]

i think they deffo have someone lined up and i reckon they will be in by saturday

[Hughesy]

O'Neill

Il cry!

[preston blue]

God help us, Venky's are a joke............this will set us up nicely for a stuffing by Wham on Saturday

[philipl]

It will be Martin Jol.

[frosty]

Can't believe it, what a joke.

[Wilky]

Thank god for that....

[The Rover of Finland]

O´Neill is a good shout but I wouldn´t jump for joy.

[LeftWinger]

I'm far from Allardyce's biggest fan - but I'm a little worried at how soon into Venky's reign this has happened.

[chocky]

By Bye fatty..go back to Bolton with our best wishes..they obviously don't trust him with the transfer kitty..

[Earlydoors]

As someone who wrote to the club NOT to employ him when we got Ince, got to say I'm Gobsmacked and Saddened.

Yes we play terrible football, yesterday excepted, but he was doing a tremendous job.

I believe he should have had a chance to fine tune us further with one or two new signings.

Furthermore the players believed in him and liked him.

Wel done, venkys, you've just shggaed us.......

[sam_rovers]

What???? you guys must be ###### with me

[Sysagent]

Breaking News Blackburn have announced the departure of manager Sam Allardyce with immediate effect

Terrific ab..solutely terrific.

So what are we now the new Newcastle?

Two years solid good work gone down the pan, brilliant Venkys, you really have shown your true colours here.

Can't wait for the likes of Abby & Waggy to come on here gloating now, this is devastating news for our team in my opinion.

[Amo]

I'm gonna miss him on Twitter.

[sam_rovers]

horrible stuff.. he was doing a great job with the resources we had

this is pathetic

[MarkBRFC71]

Not his biggest fan, but even I think this was too soon. I'd have let his contract run down and let him go at the end of the season. Not surprised though, given that it looked inevitable reading between the lines of interviews with Venky's.

The timing of Martin Jol's resignation looking less than coincidental now?

[rovers1995]

Gutted. I did hear though on Friday that he was walking after the game regardless of the result, with Martin Jol to take over

[67splitscreen]

Can only be over player signings, as many have expressed there concerns over Kemtaros involvement it would seem they may have been right.

Put your money on Puppet.

[salford trotter]

what a joke of a decision!! You guys might end up being the next Newcastle with the Indian equivalent of Mike Ashley in charge, god help you that's all i can say
