Dowie alert

The Addickted should be warned that Iain Dowie now appears to have joined the ranks of other former managers who act as 'stringers' for Sky Sports News at key fixtures around the country. Last night he was at Blackpool. However, every time he offered his insights on the lines of 'Blackpool are winning because they have scored more goals', a drummer standing behind him wearing a tall hat which loomed above Dowie would start up a roll on his drums.
