Allardyce - I won't walk away
lackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce insists he will not step down as manager if the club are relegated from the Premier League.[LNB] Allardyce replaced Paul Ince at Ewood Park before Christmas and embarked upon a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions following his appointment.[LNB]However, back-to-back defeats in the league have ensured Rovers remain in the relegation zone, two points from safety and with a game in hand.[LNB]Former Bolton chief Allardyce expects his position to be under scrutiny if he fails to keep the club in the top flight, but he has vowed not to quit.[LNB]Doubt"There is bound to be doubt about my future unless I get them out of trouble and keep them in the Premier League," Allardyce told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. [LNB]"That is my remit and if I don't do that I expect my position would come under scrutiny. [LNB]"I would not expect anything else. A contract makes no difference whatsoever anyway. [LNB]"If you are not wholeheartedly behind the football club then the club is not going to stand in your way. [LNB]"You do what you think is right for you and the football club. [LNB]"I certainly don't see myself walking away, if the worst happens. [LNB]"We don't talk about that worst-case scenario, but hypothetically if it happened I don't see it from my side of things."[LNB]
