The man who has been linked with every vacant job available since his somewhat premature departure from Newcastle, Blackburn have today announced the big man as Paul Ince’s predecessor on a three year deal to the delight of the Rovers faithful.
Struggling Blackburn have wasted no time in appointing a new man at the helm, having sacked Paul Ince on Tuesday due to the club’s poor league position and reported lack of harmony in the dressing room under the ex-United man. The chairman made it known he wanted his man in …

Too little, too late? I don’t think so. Blackburn have today announced that they have sacked manager Paul Ince. The former England international had a miserable time at Ewood Park, picking up just 13 points from 17 league games.
This sacking was an easy decision for the Blackburn board, despite what chairman John Williams says. Ince took over a side that finished in seventh last season. He took a UEFA Cup contender, minus just Brad Friedel and David Bentley, and turned it into a 19th placed club. Unacceptable form for a …

As a proud United fan for many years, I have witnessed a great number of very talented players come through the Old Trafford doors. I have also seen a select few of these players become managers. Roy Keane, Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce, and now Paul Ince, to name a few. To be honest, I never expected Ince to delve into football management’s long corridors. Even more unexpected, in his relatively short managerial career, he has already been a shock success.
Just ask Macclesfield and MK Dons fans. Keeping Macclesfield up after …
