Paul Lambert appointed Blackburn Rovers boss

Blackburn Rovers have appointed former Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert as their new manager.The Championship outfit sacked Gary Bowyer last week following a two-year spell in charge at Ewood Park.
A number of managers had been linked with the position, but Lambert, who left Aston Villa last season following their struggles, has been the individual chosen to lead the club into a new era."I would like to thank the owners and board of directors for giving me the opportunity to manage such a fantastic club," Lambert told the club's official website."Blackburn Rovers is a club with superb support and fine traditions, being a founding member of both the Football League and the Premier League. After a short period out of the game, I feel refreshed and I am really looking forward to the challenge ahead."I bring with me a very trusted backroom team that I believe is equipped to help me create an exciting era for the club and I hope to deliver a brand of football that will both entertain the supporters and bring success."Lambert will be joined at Ewood Park by former Blackburn midfielder Alan Irvine, who will act as assistant to the Scot.The 46-year-old takes charge of a Blackburn team that have only won three of their 16 Championship games this season, with that poor run leaving the club in 16th position in the table.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
