Finally some good Rovers news

It has been a tough few works for every Blackburn Rovers fan. First the cherished manager, Mark Hughes, left for Man City. Then Paul Ince was hired to replace him without having any management credentials from a top club or country. And then all of our players (so it seemed) started to get linked to all sorts of different clubs.

Yesterday, finally some good news though. Not only did Rovers win a friendly over Benfica in Portugal. More importantly, Ince made England goalkeeper Paul Robinson his first signing of the summer. Alas legend Brad Friedel is leaving the club, but all in all it’s a great trade and a steal for a proven goalkeeper who’s only 28 years old.

Here’s looking forward to some new quality signings to underline the newfound optimism.
