How stupid are Blackburn?

So, the question of the day has to be: how stupid are Blackburn? Not only do they hire a manager who has never managed in the top flight before, they sack him after a winless streak of 11 games, after just a few months.

And - that's not the best bit - AND they're thinking of hiring Graeme Souness! It's so laughable that, if I were a Blackburn fan, I wouldn't know whether to cry or to kill myself. Graeme Souness, the most popular Liverpool manager ever (with Everton fans), the man who single-handedly destroyed every team he ever managed, the man Observer Sport Monthly declared to be the "worst manager ever", the man who instills fear into the fans of every club associated with him. And he's 2/1 favourite!

Christ, Blackburn fans - we all feel for you right now. You're being led by a bunch of muppets. I'd have kept with Ince, as the Stoke game looks eminently winnable, and that might have kicked a run off. But now? I'm not so sure.

Sam Allardyce seems (bizarrely) to have his heart set on Sunderland, but that's probably just so he can put one over on Newcastle after what those idiots did to him.
