Which means a fleet would have 3 points clear of the bottom 4 places and they are 5 points off the top 6 places Scott thought lead the way in League $121.00 points from 10 games bury in 2nd 20 points from 10 games they're on a terrific run at this moment in time then occupying the 4 playoff positions some big clubs actually Bradford Northampton Port Vale and Sheffield United who had a horrible start to the season but they are now looking like they are getting their season going Owen Coyle will be with his very shortly here at Ewood Park to come and give us his thoughts on his team's display today just before we hear from him and let's just get some reaction to our big news that we brought you the top of the program tonight we were waiting for the announcement and it was made as soon as the games kicked off this evening there are some alibis has left his post as England manager by mutual agreement with the Football Association after one match and 67 days in charge of football correspondent John Murray has the details after what turned out to be his only match in charge Sam Allardyce talked of how we might be a looking manager for the England team they just scored a very late goal in Slovakia to win that opening World Cup qualifier only on the 22nd of July when he was appointed the Football Association described him as the ideal candidate how wrong that now sounds added I said it was the job he had always wanted the problem was that one job was not enough for him only lucky he may have been in the way he was set up but ultimately he has no one else but himself to blame for this thoroughly embarrassing fall from grace while the Football Association released a statement earlier this evening and in Dennis can tell us what it said alibis his conduct as reported today was inappropriate of being the manager in a statement they go on to say here. He made a significant error of judgment and his apologize however due to the serious nature of his actions the f.a. And our dice have mutually agreed to terminate his contract with immediate effects this is not a decision that was taken lightly but the F.A.'s priority is to protect the wider interests of the game and maintain the highest standards of conduct in football the manager of the England men senior team is a position which must demonstrate strong leadership and show respect for the integrity of the game at all times Jarrod Southgate will take charge of the men's senior team for the next 4 matches against Malta Slitheen yet Scotland and Spain was the f.a. Begins its for the New England manager and a statement concludes the f.a. Wishes so well in the future when I see it from a former England Coutts in Blackburn Rovers legend Alan Shearer a former England man and he says today marks a sad day for English football I'm angry at the whole situation I didn't think England could do any lower from what happened in the summer in the Euros Whiteman and now here we are we're a lot. So Gara Southgate's is in charge for the next 4 matches Shearer says those who play all manage England is the ambition of many when you quit for England it's your dream job to go out represent your country openly admitted that it was a dream job to go on managing when it's a job that he always wanted. It's a job buddy park and bark so to. Don't In the short term. But huge error of judgment Alan Shearer is thoughts on some alibi stuff the 67 days no longer being the England manager Brett. Forest this evening Brett every have said this 24 hours ago maybe 2526 hours ago it's about this time yesterday that the news broke on social media that this was going to be in the morning newspaper of the Daily Telegraph and one other thought even mad with me yeah I mean it's cause a complete surprise in it as I think everyone's just in a state of shock and you know you. Were Intel down but it's nice I don't know a speech really I'm just a bit concerned you're going to you know it's going to take over and I'll go so it's got some people. You know thinking for on about. Boerma and how and stuff but I just don't think there's an England manager we have an equal money is good enough at the moment to talk about Roland you know off to save care or ice is going to go wrong is he would love to be dealing with money I don't know if if he had one of them given the temper if he does all I can see we've given him the job and I'm not sure that's the right decision to have my feeling was Brett I mean I looked at it in 2 ways to die I mean we we remember the Football Association were ruthless with Glenn Hoddle when he made a couple of old fortunate statements regarding people paying for sins in previous lives and that kind of thing and they made sure that he was given the sack it would seem that they have not. Change from that sway with with Big Sam here that an apology was just seemed not enough for our advice to stay in the job and it is one of them like I said before we were manager you really have to you know you have to be why the wise as simple as that it's a top job in England you can't afford to have any kind of contact controversy for sure you know we live in a 24 hour news world know that you know people you know you can say anything and someone somewhere is going to take offense you really go all out you really got you know you got a shining beacon for English football England you know I've been one newspaper press Pfieffer of the situation and everything saw the film itself the f.a. Really of the self have to look to be absolutely controversial free or with. Just a shock to be honest every word you know that up to our. There was only going to be one outcome that came out of that was that this is in the cup to Keith so then we we've heard this week a great deal from the under a great case at Burnley and people have had their opinion on it and said well maybe . Bernie could have done more maybe the lad could have done more maybe he wasn't advised correctly maybe someone should have told him Get those tweets deleted they might have been your opinion when you're a different person in this respect Surely if people were going to approach Sam Allardyce for a meeting they would approach an advisor to Sam Allardyce an agent to Sam Allardyce someone not the England manager directly now should this have been vetted a lot better probably I mean how is people got access to the England manager that's that's a question I would like to know I mean 1st and foremost I mean some are they says not greenies not and I should be better nor situations it should be an off those press request for him to do certain things you know at the top of the beat than I. In it all it should be just saw delighted to be the England manager and concentrate on doing the job and getting this proud nation we have back to the top of world football. I think he's been let down by people around him he's been let down by himself you know what I mean and I think you've got to be a little bit wiser 60 odd years of age is not a 354 year old manager new to it all he doesn't know the how the thing works how the world works I think it's got to be better he's only got himself to play import I think how have these people got access to the England manager in a public players as well but let's not forget it's on a publicly Yes I mean it was in a booth it looked like a restaurant report something to the scenario you know how was that actually happened I think there's a lot of questions need answered over the next few tears summarises made a statement this evening saying that this afternoon I met with Greg Clarkin Martin Glenn and offered a sincere and whole hearted apology for my actions although it was made clear during the recorded conversations that any proposed arrangements would be the full approval I recognize I made some comments which of caused meant as part of today's meeting I was asked to clarify what I said and the context in which the conversations took place I've cooperated fully in this regard I also regrets my comments with regard to other individuals which appear to surround Roy Hodgson and Gary Neville. Saying was a great honor to take the job in July and he's deeply disappointed at the outcome here is called as a laughingstock Keith would you go along with or all of them mean it's just stems from the horrible some of that the whole nation has. A certain I mean it was ridiculous in it and it's all merits Wasn't it you know how we can lose to a football nation like our you know no disrespect to them because the they did enough on the nape to win the game but how can that happen 1st and foremost I think the whole set up needs review and not tactically was sore poor their low. Like there was no leadership and then suddenly you go through all the turmoil we get the man which we think is the right man and play s. He gets a win and a respelling the 1st competitive game you think the future looks half break on forward and then this just quite pops up from Norway I mean no one expected this that you see a 24 hours ago and I'm going to hear is right we are all off and start going until things change will continue to be so I mean we haven't got that many candidates you know I don't think you know screaming out for the job but for me the man has to be English whether he's won the premier sale or not whether he's won the Champions League or not I don't care what they've worn from me the new man in charge has to be English and I thought that man was some of those moving forward I mean I must say is well on the I mean there's going to be a lot more come out I think I mean they haven't yet been resigned on the strength of what is come out in the last 12 hours there's got to be more than that to it so he's read the script before he's been pushed and I think. Over the next few days do you fully expect. England managers football managers in general are going to look at what's happened and even if they have decent relationships with various reporters journalists. They're going to perhaps keep a little bit more to themselves and they ever have now because they might feel that they don't know who they're talking to. Can hear me he's got. A lot all he has we can hear you brought. Everything you say in almost all of us you know what you say I definitely think he will and it's like I was saying earlier you know. With his friend Goran Eriksson remember that years ago just before the World Court went on to present to be an Arab on a bite mark what we didn't know and. The one thing that annoys me we as a complete is that you do not see any of the teams trying to demand the manager of the national football team specially when we're going to big. But issues it out there all the time on the back of selling newspapers and yeah as much as I really am disappointed solidarity them choose you know there's no more people more person to the point. It's just this we have a culture in is complete just trying to undermine everything and we. It just it just there the whole thing the whole situation of it you don't see Germany doing this you don't see any overtop culture total demand of the manages and yet they should put this on the position. People will learn lessons from this one and you know where for the day where we stop seeing stories about this and just concentrate on that and that's the football That's next in front of Blackburn Rovers front and eyes there's no urgency at all the players not know how to dribble the ball forward Also how is Feeney getting chances when he isn't a footballer and young Samuelson Isn't he was on the bench tonight Martin Samuelson an unused substitute this evening hoping to hear from Coyle very shortly I think he's doing at various media duties and hopefully I'll be able to join as very soon we'll bring some more post match reaction shortly as well from various managers across our clubs so many of them of course are a little journey home to do so I would imagine they won't be too long in in coming to see is but we will hear some post match reaction just assumes a kind of Smush nightlife it's b.b.c.

National He said I will keep on b.b.c. Radio Lancashire. 2 minutes to go of tonight's broadcast live on b.b.c. Radio. On the way where we're finished here just looking at 2 weekends football for you Birmingham City against Blackburn Rovers is that one of our commentary games and also Crawley against Blackpool in League 2. Really important that Blackpool go to Crawley and continue from where they left off tonight is an absolutely I mean terrific was all. Over crawling and done to know they need to build on the momentum that the Create a tonight to reflect result I mean they create enough chances 1st half sat there to win 2 games so it looks tonight at the the shooting. You know things are looking not that it was a poor sit down now so long with continue Fleetwood against Sheffield United this weekend Sheffield United after a slow start to the season appeared to be coming to Fleetwood Town can't dwell on tonight very long Yeah I mean it was a strange game for Fleetwood tonight really I mean they did a north 1st half to get someone out their game it was the 2nd half performance and just the rash decision by our mark cost them I mean Crystal's out to make $2.00 or 3 fantastic series bearing in mind that there just. Might have been in recent weeks by and or stupidity really in the defensive situations I mean the ship to. Another want to NY You know that they can't keep a clean sheet for love nor money they need to go back to basics get back on the training. Around and just grind out one nil nil because that way may just kick start the season again yeah Preston North End home to Aston Villa Brett Ormerod this weekend is a heck of a long time since these 2 are in the same division to play each other and a sign of the times I did not imagine. Will be going to deep deal with millions of pounds of the players but you know if struggle so far I think you do again tonight so you know if you want to play Aston Villa it's a fantastic time to play because you know they can't seem to buy when you know the last time they played in the same division was January 974 so none of us were around them folks I said not even our boys. Started school. We were in black and white by law and actually in that game. Villa Park in the reverse fixture of the season. We have a building that if you did We've also got Burnley's game against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon I thought was some result keep wasn't last night for them yet to watch the game I think that the 4 was quality wasn't he looks like he's made a real difference. Well organized always have been a soft Shauntay the fit a lot of energy but the look like the look of a cutting edge and some quality in there now in our terrific job he's done a show on Day Yeah yeah small game that they don't want. Probably how mean are playing really really well on people you know nothing's expected of Burnley to get anything out of the game will be fantastic but you know like everybody says you know all the pundits it's been your side like Bernie going to steal this not the Arsenal game or teams like that but will be judged on it it's the one that's of this world that they need to beat to stay in the league. Galen Kirk has been in touch he said I'd like to see Alan Shearer to be manager. What you make it up Brett would you yeah you know I won't because you know I took over Newcastle in a really really difficult position so you know she was you know is a. Legend is a play for me anyways of I was a kid it was an absolute super one of the best strikers that includes ever out here which talks. You know as we got our belief by why not if an Englishman he's going to get it to me Alan she is probably I think it's a great show of Siena a comment attributed to Garrett Southgate which he made 3 weeks ago in which he said I'm not experienced enough I'm not ready to be the England manager Gareth 3 weeks later the England manager Paul. Experienced in the last 3 weeks is. A world of good Jones been in touch he says great result for Morcombe only 2 points between 2nd and 12th in League 2 That's how close it is after Ted much is in that division a lesson from one of the managers in League 2 John Coleman he said down Joe Walsh role you will be in the League East and it's a 5 games book was that a bit of a full straight in NY feel when your players. To see Paula 1st off. And she made the comments and as. You can count on probably. One of the most of them good off me. I don't want to get out of their way. To let the bones of a savior be shook up plane about being a good book I just don't see how it benefits anybody but. That's a 2nd off maybe just system didn't quite back to my fall I employed so I have to live with myself. If you know what I said. Last minute settle who systems can go to one that. You know he's on apply sell for middle class although they didn't they were 1st of people we didn't pass it. We didn't go to sites we allowed them to do what the most severely. Different game going to make that our goals around. A lot of time why somebody stops thoughts on. An incest and performs and I think. The 1st half. Wasn't just an off day was it just players. And I guess you've gone behind to the best moment of quality in terms of the free cake book is there a question mark about whether the free case should have been given in the 1st place . Is a bad sort of free I mean to the books unfortunate for those. We have a similar incidents and he blows everyone thinks he's given a bounty of you on the ground he's going to penalties if you could against Jordan Clark's no. Struggling really I think it's got a deflection there which is disappointing for. Him That was the only real shot I don't saw that's all. I'll be incessant seashell McConnell's goal about this loss because everyone pitches otherwise he would also I was a belly flop as well. Which makes you think that the emotional side show. You know what you. Probably moan about pleasing is the wrong word because I don't know what you're like when you're analyzing the performances book is it heartening that you got a response again you wanted a spot to make a model to different say you go along. And we did get so not of the game which you know. It is all not so more harmonicas which we could have easily done and supers but that offer below I'll feel a position most important when you know you best leads us and also the game I think we showed a little bit of a 2nd after to push them back my chances school goal one. Nice to get tearing off the ball for a season you know you know so he's got some self and good night. To play Not long as well as he did give them a better place and that's I think he did really well many kimonos and I need you know people who had already to go one on the gold. And Stevie are the same a song of the game and so. On just the things to do still like things there's only one issues to support and if we feel as though were flown to points away with events at the best of friends when you had a bit of a setback or a bit of a disappointment you always seem to responded this this season is is that go
