Allardyce urges Khizanishvili to leave
lackburn manager Sam Allardyce believes Zurab Khizanishvili should leave Ewood Park for the sake of his own career.[LNB] The Georgia international moved to Ewood Park in 2006 but has fallen down the pecking order in recent years and spent time on loan at Newcastle and Reading last season.[LNB]Khizanishvili has not been able to secure a permanent switch this summer and his future remains uncertain, with a year still left on his Rovers contract.[LNB]Allardyce admits the 28-year-old defender does not figure in his plans for the new campaign and would prefer a sale rather than another loan, insisting that Blackburn would not block any reasonable approach.[LNB]"He is one to let go for our sake and for his," Allardyce told the Lancashire Telegraph.[LNB]"He has played far too little football at this club over the last two years to be wanting to stay and for us to be wanting to keep him. [LNB]"I think wherever a football club would like to take him on, we wouldn't be standing in his way.[LNB]"We would not want to loan him again. We want him to build a future for himself."[LNB]Allardyce can understand the financial benefits to Khizanishvili of staying at Blackburn but feels he should be looking to play regularly elsewhere.[LNB]"He has still got a few good years of playing football in him," said the Rovers boss.[LNB]"Of course one of the problems is he can't match the salary at other clubs that he gets at Blackburn Rovers now. [LNB]"That is one of the major reasons he hasn't moved on in the past two years. [LNB]"But now is the time to move for the football rather than thinking about the money."
