Jones' name linked to vacant Blackburn post

The favourites are Sam Allardyce and Graham Souness. Dave Jones's name name was mentioned several times on Tuesday afternoon amongst others like Avram Grant, Alan Shearer, Owen Coyle and recently unemployed Roy Keane.

Blackburn are looking to have a manager named by the weekend and Jones' name has now dropped out of the headlines with either Souness or Allardyce the most likely replacement. Both are available for an immediate start.
