Simpson delighted with Allardyce’s influence

Blackburn Rovers defender Danny Simpson admits that he is impressed by new manager Sam Allardyce.

Simpson is on loan at Blackburn from Manchester United, until the end of the season.

“He has just brought in his own ideas on the training pitch, and everyone has taken it on board,” said Simpson.

“He has got an aura about him. Everyone listens to him and respects him.

“Things are just clicking on the training ground, and from the training ground, it is carrying on to the pitch on a Saturday.

“We have always said we were a team that should be doing well, and now we are doing well and hopefully we will take that into the game [at Fulham] on Saturday.”
