I'm really not sure how to answer that. You're clearly wrong, why not admit it?

In fact, I'm not sure he was ever manager at Blackburn:

Souness left just after the start of 2004–05 to take charge at Newcastle, and he was replaced by Welsh national coach Mark Hughes.Hughes secured Rovers' Premier League survival for the 2004–05 season as well as an FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, with Rovers finishing 15th once again. He led the team to sixth the following season and Rovers's third European qualification in five years.

Rovers reached the semi-final of the 2006–07 FA Cup, but lost to Chelsea in extra time, and finished that season's league in tenth, qualifying for the Intertoto Cup, which led to a short run in the 2007–08 UEFA Cup. In May 2008, Mark Hughes left Blackburn Rovers for the vacancy at Manchester City. He was replaced by Paul Ince, Ince's first job was to persuade some of the wantaway players to stay. with Archie Knox coming in as his assistant. Ince's time in charge started well, but following a run of eleven games without a win he was sacked in December 2008. Sam Allardyce was appointed as Ince's replacement and in 2009–10 he led the team to a tenth-place finish and a League Cup semi-final.

In November 2010, the Indian company V H Group bought Blackburn Rovers under the name of Venky's London Limited for £23 million. The new owners sacked Allardyce and replaced him with first-team coach Steve Kean, initially on a temporary basis

If we want to be the best then we MUST get a German manager, ideally with German coaches. And some German players.

FA stepping back from the idea that the coach has to be English. Saying that no-one is ruled out.

As next England manager I would throw Tony Adams into the reckoning has some managerial experience but great grounding as an England and Arsenal captain and player. A better option than many suggested.

He is about to take up a position as joint-assistant coach of Arsenal's U-18s (alongside Thierry Henry), with Kwame Ampadu as coach.

Sky sources saying Hodgson lost the dressing room before the match because:
1. They didn't want to play 4 3 3 and
2. Senior players didn't want Sterling in the side.

WTF! I guess these overpaid w@nkers don't want a manager. They'll just pick their own team, decide on their own tactics and it'll all be great.

And that is why it doesnt matter who the manager is.

Our national team players are deluded, mentally weak, tactically stupid and thick.

He's a Wolves season ticket holder so he is obviously a football supporter, as much of an expert as any of us.

Amazingly, you didn't have to rewind it at all. He said it TWICE! :ffsparr:
