Allardyce Heading To Blyth!
Last updated : 17 December 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
Allardyce has signed a three year contact.
Asked about his decision to take a job he apparently did not want in the summer, he said...
Sam Allardyce: "That was all a misunderstanding, that. I'm just glad I'm here now.
"I am very, very pleased indeed. I'm not saying more than that at the moment."
His nine months at Newcastle were not a success, and he got off on the wrong foot saying at the first press conference: "I want to have the same success at Newcastle that I had at Bolton".
And what success was that Sam?
He will be the new manager - in position before Saturday's visit by Stoke.
And he will take Rovers to Blyth Spartans on Monday January 5th for the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
