Allardyce no to Blackburn

Former Bolton and Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has revealed that he has pulled out of the race to become Blackburn's new manager and as successor to Mark Hughes.

Hughes left for Man City early in the summer, and Sam Allardyce was one of the early front runners to take the job.

However, Allardyce has now pulled himself out of the running and it appears that Blackburn could now make a move for Paul Ince of MK Dons instead to become their new boss.
