Chris Hughton has ruled himself out - Nothing to say he was in running anyway.

@Chris_Hughton - "Before any speculation is started, I would like to rule my self out of the running for the #Blackburn job! It's not for me."

[AJW]

i could honestly see Sven getting the job ( i imagine Vinjay's head would explode ) like him or not he has got the worldwide profile Venky's are looking for , maybe Shearer might come as no2

[PAFELL]

Rijkarrd would be a great option, but im not sure he would be tempted with Rovers. Im sure if he was to try his hand in the PL it would be with one of the bigger clubs.

Jason Robers on Sky Sports News, he sounds delighted Big Sam has gone. Not surprised really.

Jason Roberts did not sound as though he was happy. He said he may not have got on with him, but would not have wanted him sacked.

I would be happy with Hughton and a quick raid of one or two newcastle players at the same time.

It is Jol- the man who got 2 points from 10 games with Spurs.

Do me a favour Phil, he finished 5th two seasons in a row. You have a shorter memory than the Tottenham board.

Me too and don´t like idea of Svennis at all.

Shearer's managerial skills are suited to a No. 2.

Wheres Nicko and the Nickoretes?

I think I'd stop watching us if we were sacking Big Sam to replace him with somebody like Hughton or Dowie.

Martin Jol is currently the bookies' favourite and I could see it happening, but I'm sure there'll be an 'impact' appointment.

That said, if that appointment is Diego Maradona, our club officially becomes a laughing stock...

@Chris_Hughton - "Before any speculation is started, I would like to rule my self out of the running for the #Blackburn job! It's not for me."

In the spirit of that Tweet,I would like to formally declare my self out of the running for Cheryl Cole's next boyfriend, It's not for me.

Do people actually put money on some of these selections.....Megson!?!?!? INCE!?!?! ALEX FERGUSON!?!?PHIL BROWN!?!? Give me a break.

Well i'm quite upset to see him go because it seems to me like a lot of hard work down the drain. He has his critics but nobody can argue with our league finish last year and current position given our resources. Not to mention some excellent youth he has given chances to.

Good luck Sam and thanks.

Now...they sacked him because they want attractive football and obviously don't trust him to spend their money.

For me it's a simple solution....Ian Holloway

The guy plays attacking football, players and fans love him. The respect he has from players at Blackpool and everywhere else in the game is immense. He is getting paid pittance and Blackpool and is working for a total tight fisted clown in Oyston. Holloway knows he is gonna lose his players next year because Oyston wont budge on wages....he wouldn't even buy under soil heating! I'm sure Holloway would come. It's his big opportunity and he has earned it....will probably bring Adam and Vaughn with him aswell. Reminds me of the Coyle situation last year

[RoyRover]

Martin O'Neill, Martin Jol and Chris Haughton would be the standout names for me. Martin O'Neill would be my first choice, but I don't see him being a yes man to the owners and this Kentaro group who seem to be running the show. Can't believe the timing of this.

[sam_rovers]

I wouldn't mind Hughes coming back- but it won't happen.

[AJW]

Shearer's managerial skills are suited to a No. 2.

that maybe so , but from Venky's point of view , who better to get fans back on side? Tugay???

[Bobby G]

How is Chris Houghton a stand-out name?

[G Somerset Rover]

Jol all the way. Phil - you do know Spurs fans love him right? Some of my Yid fan mates would take him over 'Arry.

[BRFC4Life]

To the Blackburn fan who texted into Talksport to ask for Gordon Strachan to be the new manager.............I will hunt you down and beat you to death with your own shoes.

Michael Laudrup from Real Mallorca

Did you watch them at the weekend?? AWFUL

And what if Holloway is yet another one-minute wonder? I remember Phil Brown received similar plaudits when Hull hit the PL scene. Now look at both parties. I think Holloway is a gamble that we can't afford to take. Holloway has shown he can lead a group of underdogs like Blackpool, but what about an established PL club with ambitious owners looking for high-profile players? He'll be out of his league.

[Andy]

An inexperienced appointment such as Tugay or Shearer would be a disaster, however much of a legend either man was at Ewood.

[chaddyrovers]

Steve McClaren

Martin Jol

Roberto Di Matteo

Alan Shearer

Glenn Hoddle
