I'm delighted he's moved so quickly to begin changing the backroom staff - Archie Knox had been holding us back as much as Ince himself ever did. I'm also pleased he's going for the people he worked with at Bolton because it certainly seemed like a good back room team back then at Bolton. To make bigger changes I suspect he will be forced to sell RSC because despite us still having some of the Bentley funds left, I don't see the trust being very keen to loosen the purse things for anyone without first having guarantees.

Nicko, Allardyce explained today why he pulled himself out of the running in the summer. Do you believe thats the true story of what happened, or is it just a cover story?

Discovering that he was 3rd choice behind such footballing luminaries as Maclaren and Ince and even Stan Ternant would have been insulted enough to pull out, never mind someone who should have been England manager but lost out to the Wally with the Brolly again. Enough to make him bloody suicidal. No wonder that he has a spring in his step today is it?

Let's not go overboard here. He's a perfect fit for us but would have been a disaster for England...although better than McLaren obviously.

The whole problem with that search was the obsession to find someone English. Thank god we didn't listen to the bleatings of people like Ince this time round and went with Fab.

the 'big man' COMPLETELY won me over.... within 30 seconds.

by far the most impressive rovers press conference, i have ever seen!

he inspires me, and ive been anti the man for years - and i can now see why almost every player thats ever played for him has given every last ounce of effort for him.

i am genuinely excited, for the 1st time in ages (probably since the chelsea cup semi).

i will even refrain from calling him 'fat sam' now.

my apologies, sir! :rover:

It WAS down to the two of them tgm.

It SHOULD have been him.

Whether he'd have cut the mustard at that level is open for speculation. Personally I think he could have suprised a few of his detracters...... but we all knew it was completely beyond WWB from the start.

Anyone else really excited by this appointment? I know I'm still feeling buzzed. I can't wait to see teams dreading the trip to Ewood, and if we get the 'bully boy' tag it'll mean Sam is doing a great job. I'm just hoping he can impose himself quickly on the players and get us out of danger.

This is fantastic news-especially as it sounds as though you must be a lot better?

I have gone from thinking Sam is the best man for the job, but not feeling too excited, to feeling really excited. I think it was the press conference. Bizarre. I think they may have hypnotised me.

Thats great news Fife, hope you are doing better now. With any luck Big Sam and the boys will make it even more memorable for you.

Have a great time!

Good man! Don't know about you but I feel 10 years younger at the minute.
