This, now this, on the official Blackburn website is priceless.

Could they be any more embarrassing?

More 'on topic' ... I know how people can get pissed about this .... I read last week that he won £200k damages and, I'm guessing, a written apology was part of the settlement.

So not only suing for compo, but winning it magnificently too. Well done Big Sam, screw the feckers for every penny.

So Allardyce does know how to sue after all. The action against the BBC and Panorama never did materialise, did it?

I think that the message should be copied and put on here in case it ever disappears:
During the summer of 2011, Mr Steve Kean was this Club’s manager and accompanied the players of Blackburn Rovers on a pre-season tour of the Far East.

Whilst in Hong Kong, Mr Kean was in a bar and falsely alleged that Sam Allardyce, our previous manager, was sacked by us because he was a crook.

This is completely false and we apologise to Mr Allardyce for the embarrassment and distress caused to him by Mr Kean.

Not sure he'll take it. But I believe he's a bit gutted that he didn't wait it out a little longer before Blackpool. Their chairman is a nutjob and a typical old skool tight arse. He wants things set up there that are so basic you wouldn't believe they don't have them. Oyston wont even entertain their ideas.

The set up was more advanced at Pompey even at the start of the season.

Yeah their Prem wage budget was ridiculously tight wasn't it? Surely because of that tight control on costs they're doing OK financially, the way you describe makes it sound like they don't have hot showers!

Funny really as many a successful businessman has been an old skool tight arse then forgot all that the day they walked into football, Oyston sounds like the exception to the point it's harmful?!
