Fulham reject approach for McKinlay

Fulham have told Blackburn they will not be allowed to speak to Billy McKinlay about manager’s job at the Championship club unless compensation is agreed.

McKinlay, first-team coach at Craven Cottage, has emerged as a contender for the position at Rovers after they failed to land Tim Sherwood.

The Scot spent five years as a player at Ewood Park, playing 104 times for the club. He is also the current Northern Ireland assistant manager.

Blackburn have been looking for a new manager since sacking ex-Fulham coach Steve Kean last month.
