Will Blackburn Listen To Fans? Is Shearer Interested?

Last updated : 06 June 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
Shearer and former Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce, plus MK Dons boss Paul Ince, are the three favourites for the job.

The prospect of Shearer managing his old club could be an attractive option for a man who has made no secret of his intention to move into management when he feels the time and club are right.

Mike Ashley snubbed the ex-England skipper in January, and Blackburn seems to be Shearer's "other" club.

Shearer will not get the Newcastle (as long as Ashley is owner) until he gets a strong CV to support his status as a Geordie legend.

The betting:

Allardyce S 6/4    
Ince P 3/1   
Shearer A 5/1   
McClaren S 12/1    
Bilic S 14/1   
Grant A 16/1  
Deschamps D 16/1   
Houllier G 20/1    
Advocaat D 25/1
