Roving For More Premier League Glory

Since Blackburn's Premier League win in 1995 they have appointed several different managers to attempt to repeat this. but none have even really came close
So when Blackburn were relegated in 2012 from the premier league to the Championship they sacked manager Steve Kean. There Next plans were to just start fresh and to slowly build towards their Premier League Dreams.
so on July 27th, Blackburn announce a new inexperienced manager from Australia name Andrew Motley.
Certain That Mr Motley does not have any experience, they can see he has a lot of potential and will drive Blackburn forward for years to come.

Andrew Motley says that he is ecstatic that he was chosen to manager Blackburn and he can't believe they trust him to bring Blackburn back to a major force in England, before he added and that he is very surprised at 39 thousand pounds a week, "that is like heaps, well I think, still need to get used to money being in pounds instead of dollars."
So now Andrew now packs his belongings ready to move to Blackburn and begin his Managerial Career.

Update 1

Preseason
Port Vale 1-2 Blackburn
Notts County 0-1 Blackburn
Accrington 0-5 Blackburn
Swindon 0-0 Blackburn
Blackburn 0-0 Stade Rennais
Blackburn 0-1 Atletico Madrid

Mr Motley's presason Games have gone pretty well Considering this is his first time in managment, so now the stage is all set for his competitive managment debut against Cardiff City this friday night, he will be hoping to get off to the best possible start and so will his team.

Blackburn 0-1 Carfiff
Andrew Motley's Debut Didn't turn out right for Blackburn some would say the rovers were rather unlucky because they had three times as much shots than cardiff and over double the amount on target but just could not find the net.

Crystal Palace 3-2 Blackburn
another unlucky game for Blackburn. in the first ten minutes the Eagles found them self with a goal with a cross that went into the net. gamst Pedersen equalised just before half time with a lovely header. The Second half blackburn were controling the game for the most part and made it count with a second goal and guess just unlucky that The Eagles scored two goals in the last 10 minutes.
other news Blackburn have drawn Crystal Palace in the Capital one cup game next week.

Blackburn 1-5 Sheffield Wednesday
Just embarrassing, no one knows what happened and a pretty shaky start for new manager Andrew Motley.

Blackburn e2-1 Crystal Palace (Capital one Cup)
An exiting game and first win for manager Andrew Motley which went into Extra Time to get the winner.

The Third Round Draw puts Blackburn up against West Ham at West Ham.

In Transfer news we have seen nothing much from Blackburn Manager Andrew Motley only really selling off a reserve team player off to Scottish team Motherwell for 24 thousand Pounds.
Maybe we'll see things from him in January.

Leicester 1-0 Blackburn
So the win in the cup hasn't Sparked a Winning Streak and Blackburn have lost the first four games in the Championship. this game may also have just being unlucky having Blackburn with twice the amount of shots as leicester.

Huddersfield 0-2 Blackburn
And would you beleive it, it has taken 5 league games for Blackburn to get their first win and hopefully their is more to come.

Blackburn 3-1 Hull
Here we are a very convincing win for Blackburn and are now off bottom place in the league

Blackburn 3-0 Charlton
And Blackburn are back! they are finally finding there goals!!!


West Ham 3-1 Blackburn (Capital One Cup)​
This was pretty bad for Blackburn they just weren't creating enough chances and their only goal coming from a penalty.

Middlesbrough 1-2 Blackburn
Class from Blackburn and each goal coming from to young strikers Rhodes and Rochina

Blackburn getting of to the good start with a goal but unfortunatly couldn't bang in the goals needed and unfortunate to concede in the last 5 minutes.

View attachment 301159

A very Nerve racking game with this time Blackburn on the lucky end scoring 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.

being a pretty average game not much excitement but got the win needed.
View attachment 301143

a very disappointing game against rivals where a win would see the rovers ahead on the table in front of Bolton. but it's Bolton who strike 6 points in front of Blackburn.

View attachment 301162
Overall a pretty even game it was just made difficult for Blackburn conceding 2 goals just before half-time


View attachment 301142
a very needed win for Blackburn after the 2 losses.

View attachment 302127
Some rather on and off form for the rovers and the table finishes as so

The Rovers have won the championship!!!! but not to much celebration as they prepare for the premier league now!
the other promoted teams were Wolverhampton and Cardiff who will both be joining the Premier League next season.

Andrew Motley had a perfect start to his career with a win in the nPower Championship and will make Premier league debut next season.

and guess what in his first season
