Well now that the manager drama has come, gone, and is now progressing into our memories, we can focus on all of the new and exciting things happening at Ewood Park.
Oh wait….
….there’s nothing.
Well, nothing solid I should say. There’s always the tabloids who claim that our best players will be leaving the club for [...]

Well it’s getting exciting now. The very good news is that the likelyhood of McClaren or Allardyce taking over is decreasing by the minute, as other, bigger, and better names enter the fray. However, I really don’t know who will be our manager. Hopefully we will know by Saturday, since I’m going on holiday for [...]

If you’ve read any sort of news about ROvers there’s no doubt you ran across these quotes:

Well with the giant, and very tasteless, snubbing Mr. Shearer gave us, I’ve taken some time and have put together these thoughts.
• I am extremely happy that Shearer will not be out next manager. While some people may want him or may have had him as the number one on their list, my opinion is [...]

Thoughts on the candidates

Lets have a lookie:
Name: Alan Shearer
Odds: 5-4
History: No managerial experience, but a Rovers legend on the pitch.
Pros: Shearer would certainly be an exciting appointment. He seems to have a good knowledge of the game, he would certainly have the respect of the players (and may convince our key ones to stay), and he [...]

I may have mentioned before that alongside my support for Rovers, I also have a liking for Spanish Liga side Valencia.
If you know anything about Spanish football, you will know that it’s been quite a season for the club. A brief summary if I may:
-Loosing first game of the season at home to local [...]
