Blackburn Rovers: Return To Glory!

I have chose to go with Blackburn Rovers for my story. The reason i have chose this club is because of their history, as i want to win the premier league with them again and it will take time. I've always liked Blackburn growing up so it will be fun too at returning them to the premier league.

Jim White- "More drama at Blackburn Rovers, after being relegated to the Championship, the club have sacked Michael Appleton due to inappropriate behavior while on a night into town. The clubs global adviser Shebby Singh has stated that the search for a new manager will begin immediately and that the club already have three managerial contenders lined up".

Jim White- " Blackburn Rovers have announced 25 year old James Heyhoe as their new manager on a 1 year deal worth around £23,000 a week. Unknown Heyhoe had beat off competition from Walsall manager Dean Smith and Nigel Adkins to the post. We go live to a press conference at Ewood Park where Heyhoe will handle his first media experience. H- Heyhoe, J- Journalist.


J- "Is managing Blackburn your dream job?"
H- "I'm delighted to be hired, it is a dream come true."
J- "How will you be involved day to day?"
H- "I'd like to be involved as much as time allows me."
J- "What are your plans for your Blackburn reign?"
H- "My target is to return to the Premier League and then go from there."
J- "What about player and staff arrivals?"
H- "I will be looking into a few signings and will revamp the backroom staff setup."

Blackburn Rovers manager James Heyhoe has announced his first signing as manager of the troubled championship club. 26 year old forward Jamie Mackie has joined them on loan for the season from QPR. Heyhoe says- "Mackie is someone who could really add something to the team, and i hope he can form a partnership with one of the strikers at the club to guide us back to the premier league.

August results

Blackburn 2-2 Sheffield Wednesday (Richards, Boyd)

Huddersfield 4-1 Blackburn (Hanley)

Crystal Palace 1-3 Blackburn (Etuhu, Rhodes x2)

Blackburn 1-2 Shewsbury (Boyd) Capital One Cup

The first month of games was really disappointing, i made a few changes to the team against Shewsbury so i must take the blame. Struggling to get this tactic to work so will have to devise a new one if results don't improve.
