More panic/kneejerk reaction from  owners of football clubs. The game is mad.
Who do Blackburn think they can attract?

I don't think he was doing a bad job at all, but obviously the new owners have an agenda.

Sven? :)

As much as I hate his football, he was creating a new Bolton at Blackburn. Not pleasing to watch, but a bastard to play against especially up there. Blackburn wouldn't have gone down with him in charge, and he had them playing a style that was effective and hated by all others. I'm sure Wenger popped open a bottle of bubbly on hearing the news.

Can't stand the bloke but  he does a good job when given the chance.
Capello said yes to replacing Benitez then.
Can't see why he'd want to move downwards to West Ham, though.

Rumours that the new owners wanted to choose which signings were made, so I don't blame him for walking if that's the case.

Purveyor of shit football though and he's STILL always being connected with the England job.

He didn't walk he was sacked. If I was the owner and we were top of the league I'd still sack the fat ******.

Fat Sam is very underrated, IMO.

apparently he's been fired, so I don't think this was his choice. I would imagine though there will be a number of clubs that will consider him, because despite how we view his football, he does manage to create competitive/combative teams when given the time.

Blackburn are 13th in the table at the moment, wouldn't be surprised if they go on a bad run now like the Toon did when they sacked big Sam.
I'm always amazed at how some clubs think they should always be doing better than they are. Curbishley at Charlton was moaned at for constantly getting Charlton to always finish around 10th, look where they are now. MON got Villa 6th three years on the trot, for many people that wasn't good enough.
Owners and fans need more patience insead of the 'I wan't it now' attitude.

I won't believe it until TheBig_Sam tweets it himself.
