Sam baulks at Ruud price tag
Sam Allardyce admits he has been priced out of a move to lure Ruud van Nistelrooy to Blackburn.
As SunSport revealed, the Rovers boss made enquiries about the 33-year-old striker’s situation at Real Madrid.
But Big Sam winced at the former Manchester United star’s wages of around £120,000 a week.
Allardyce, who may turn to Tottenham’s Darren Bent next, said: “From a salary point of view, Ruud is out of our reach. And he’s not going to be fit until September.”
