Newcastle Utd Turmoil Continues....

After getting dumped out of the Carling Cup by Tottenham in midweek, Newcastle got beat 2-1 by Blackburn at St James' Park yesterday afternoon.


It was 'interim' manager Joe Kinnear's first game in charge and the laughable aspect of his first game in charge was that he had to watch it from the stands as he has to serve a two-match touchline ban!!


Oh how things are going from bad to worse for the 'Toon.'

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS GOAL?

Roberto Di Matteo the scorer of the fastest FA Cup Final goal (43 seconds) has taken over as manager at newly promoted MK Dons.

Roberto takes his first managerial job, without any experience BUT with the qualifications, from Paul Ince who has gone to Blackburn Rovers and who has been given dispensation by the Premier League to obtain his qualifications within two years.

When Robbie scored that famous goal at Wembley I was at work that day but I was lucky to catch it live on the telly. I was lucky however to see Robbie score one of his first goals for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, ironically against Middlesbrough.

Against St Gallen of Switzerland in the UEFA, Robbie wasn't so lucky. He leg was so badly injured in a non-descript tackle that he was forced to retire from professional football some two years later.

In between then and now, Robbie has been busying himself with media work - Chelsea TV, Sky and the like, plus studying hard for his football qualifications and his hard work has paid off.

MK Dons owner Pete Winkelman saw something in Robbie and has taken him on in front of 40 or so more experienced candidates than himself.

Winkelman brought Ince to MK Dons from the northern outpost of Macclesfield and look what a job Ince had acheived at Moss Rose before he left.

Ince has left a legacy at MK Stadium. Johnstone Paint Cup Winners and League Two Champions in his first and only season.

Robbie you have a lot to live up to...... but you ARE qualified!!!

Paul Ince Is The New Blackburn Rovers Manager

Paul Ince today became the first British Black Premiership Manager by signing a three year contract to manage Blackburn Rovers.

The job became vacant went Mark Hughes moved up the road to Man City.

Ince has certainly took himself up the rungs of the managerial ladder - Swindon Town, Macclesfield Town and MK Dons.

With Macclesfield Town he kept them in League Two when it looked for such a long time that Macclesfield would drop out of the League and then with MK Dons, he won promotion to League One as Champions and won the Johnstone Paint Trophy.

Sven Out - Hughes In

Man City today finally dispensed with the services of Sven after one season in charge.

Almost immediately City were given permission by Blackburn Rovers to speak to Mark Hughes.

Chelsea's managerial options are looking slimmer by the day.
