Blackburn Confirm Contact With Maradona
By Chris Wright
Since the ‘news’ broke yesterday morning that Blackburn’s new owners Venkys were about to replace the outbound Sam Allardyce with Argentinian barmball Diego Maradona, the Indian poultry conglomerate duly moved to quash the speculation by insisting that Big Sam’s successor is almost definitely going to be an altogether more prosaic choice.
However, Venkys’ chairwoman Anuradha Desai has confirmed that, upon their arrival at Ewood Park, initial contact was made with El Diego’s representatives – although talks quickly stalled, i.e. they were told to stop dicking around pretty smartish:
“We thought about Maradona as a coach after we took over. Talks were at the initial stage then, but there is no development on that front yet.
“For now, the current coach [caretaker Steve Kean] will be the manager till the end of the season. There is no question of signing anyone for such a short time.”
Of course, who needs a bloomin’ manager these days anyway? You can do it all on your fancy iPads and Gameboys.

I know this business is a good chance to laugh at Blackburn right now but at least get the name of our ground right rather than comparing us to the loons at City.
Hopefully Maradona will turn down any approach, Steve Kean will reveal himself to be the next Scottish managerial genius and there’ll actually be money to buy someone decent in January.
@AlanS: Fair dinkum mate, amended now! Got City on the brain this morning.
“Eastlands” ? You meant “Ewood Park”, didn’t you ?
why sack allardyce if your going to put the assistant in charge until the end of the season!?
hang on…seeing a parallel. Sam was a factory farm manager..(load the box, wait for results)…and diego is bloated (possibly) by substances. club owned by poultry farmers!!
