Blackburn interested in Newcastle Trio

The Daily Mail has reported that Blackburn is interested in Kevin Nolan, Nicky Butt and Alan Smith.

Current Blackburn Manager Sam Allardyce

Sam Allardyce has focused his sights on Newcastle's Kevin Nolan, Alan Smith and Nicky Butt. Kevin Nolan moved from Bolton to Newcastle for £4million in January 2009, while Alan Smith was a £5million purchase by Sam Allardyce during his tenure at Newcastle.

We believe that the total value of this transfer would be about £4million, and would result in a total wage savings of £150k per week. Besides Kevin Nolan, who has shown glimpses of his ability in the last few games, we feel that the other 2 should be shipped out to reduce our wage bill.

The most pressing issue would be to appoint a manager, cause currently the fire sale seems to have no end in sight, and if this keeps up, we may not have a team to field at the start of the season.

Comments Welcome.
