Former Blackburn striker Kevin Gallacher commented on the sudden change:
“It is not a surprise choice. Blackburn needs someone who can put the club back together again and I think he can do that.”
At the moment the fate of Inces staff is not known.
It is a great thing for allardyce to come to Rovers, he would transform the team from what it used to be, and hoping he doesnt lose key players in january, Blackburn will definitely survive the drop.
