Report: Blackburn Rovers sack Gary Bowyer after poor start to season

Gary Bowyer has been sacked by Blackburn Rovers tonight, according to reports.

Rovers have suffered a disappointing start to the new season and are yet to win in five games.

They started the campaign with a home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers and also lost to Shrewsbury Town in the League Cup.

Today they lost 1-0 away at Brighton & Hove Albion, and The Sun claims that the club has acted by dismissing the 44-year-old, two years after he joined.

Blackburn are currently 22nd in the Championship table.
