Allardyce hails feel-good factor

10th May 2010

Sam Allardyce hopes Blackburn's strong finish to the season will convince Morten Gamst Pedersen to stay with the club.

Pedersen, who is out of contract this summer, is yet to sign a new deal and a number of sides from around Europe are thought to be interested in him.

The Norwegian midfielder came off the bench at Aston Villa yesterday in what could be his final game for Rovers, to help them to a 1-0 victory and secure a 10th-placed finish in the Barclays Premier League.

That result followed a 2-1 victory over Arsenal and Blackburn lost only once in their final nine games, generating a feel-good factor at the club which Allardyce hopes Pedersen will want to remain a part of.

Asked if there were any developments with Pedersen's contract negotiations, Allardyce said: "No, I don't know yet. We are still keeping our fingers crossed.

"Hopefully the last two results will go some way to try and sort it out in our favour and he won't go anywhere else."
