Headline Cage Match: Only One Will Survive

As you know, Big Sam Allardyce is filling in for the deposed Governor Paul Ince at Blackburn. This isn't news. But, the British rags can't quite agree about what role Roque Santa Claus Cruz will play in the new administration. Two newspapers will duke it out in the cage, but only one will come out.

The Daily Mail claims that Big Sam is going to sell the Santa man for 20 million quid likely to the new oilmen in Manchester.

However, The Sun claims Big Sam only agreed to take the job if they agreed not to sell the Paraguayan strike.

So, who's correct? I don't know, but I can't imagine Santa Cruz wants to stay on at a sinking ship. We shall know, however, no later than the end of January.

Aren't women and children the first ones off a sinking ship? So, I'm thinking Paul Robinson will be the first to go.

Zing!

PR: nice shot. And, yes, children should be first...

As for Santa Claus, I think BS got an agreement that he didn't HAVE to sell. My guess is that he either "connects" with RSC in the next 2 weeks (and convinces him to stay until July), or the Citeh money will come in handy for whatever "throw the steerage/poor overboard" move is needed to stay up...

Blackburn 2008-9 - like rooting for the rich people on the Titanic...
