Pedersen glad to remain a Rover
Morten Gamst Pedersen thought about quitting Blackburn this summer but eventually decided the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.
Although Sam Allardyce has struggled to bring new faces into Ewood Park this summer, keeping the popular Norwegian could turn out to be his shrewdest bit of business.
With six years of loyal service already, Pedersen knows exactly what it takes to make an impact in the Premier League and still has the desire to achieve much more.
Signing a four-year contract was a sign of the faith he has in Allardyce to build on last term's impressive 10th-placed finish and the 28-year-old insists there is nowhere he would rather be.
"It is always a temptation when other clubs are interested in you and you are in the position I was," he said. "You can be tempted to think the grass is greener.
"But when I sat down and thought about it, I knew the right thing was to stay. I have a love for the club. I have been here for six years and there are not many players who stay in one place as long as that anymore."
