Not a huge surprise.

The Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce will miss the next three Premier League matches as he is to undergo surgery after suffering "chest discomfort."

The Rovers boss will be absent from tomorrow's game against his former club Bolton, the midweek fixture at Fulham, and the match against Stoke at Ewood Park next weekend.

The 55-year-old is having an angioplasty, a procedure which will widen one of his coronary arteries.

A statement on the club's website said Allardyce "has recently complained of brief episodes of chest discomfort and investigations have revealed a narrowing to one branch of his coronary arteries. Sam will next week undergo an angioplasty with the insertion of a stent to correct this narrowing."

Rovers' chairman John Williams said: "Sam is very disappointed, particularly at missing the Bolton fixture, but his well being is of prime consideration. We all appreciate that Premier League football is a stressful business and prevention is always better than cure."

Assistant manager Neil McDonald will take charge in his absence.

Sam Allardyce says he left Bolton Wanderers over their lack of ambition, and knows he could manage "any team in the world".

Except Newcstle eh?
 
Well, I hope the operation's a success. Apart from anything else, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy the job of clearing that lardbucket off the operating table.
