[Archived] Paul Ince Gone

[my_name_is_Earl]

I thought that was positive.

Exactly nodrog, I think the best line in there or certainly the most pleasing line to hear was that there was something missing which he thought had been there previously. Maybe he has finally seen what most of us have seen at least since Sunderland.

I think Ince will get the chance to resign at this meeting today for his own reputation. I expect an announcement to be made indicating either a) mutual consent or Ince resigns after fans turn on him. I don't think they will sack him outright unless he, Ince, truly believes all of his own excuses and demands another chance and they obviously have no other choice but to sack him.

Would be interesting to hear if Nicko or anyone else knows what's going on today regarding meetings, decisions etc.??

I've avoided this site for a week. I will be glad when this episode is finally over, much as I honestly think Ince WILL make a damn good manager in time this is not the place or the time for him to be in the Premier League and it has to be time for the board to act.

Nicko is probably up the walls

Ince:

Just had the joy of watching another Paul Ince interview on Rovers World (hopefully the last).

Highlights:

1) We are conceding too many goals this season, but this was also a problem for us last season. He mentioned that Wigan scored 5 against us last season (great excuse).

2) He could not understand the result as the signs were there after the Liverpool game - have I missed something in this bloody Liverpool game. He keeps referring to it as if we beat them and won a trophy in the process. We conceded 3 goals at home and lost the match.

3) Finally, he was asked where do we go after this result? He said "hard to say at this moment in time".

[Mc Love]

I dont know what he was thinking when he said, there was no way back after they had scored two?? Surely there was, whether it be Fergie or Capello, THIS IS FOOTBALL YOU USELESS SACK OF **** there is always a way back.

Especially with only 12 minutes gone.

Ince WILL make a damn good manager in time

hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

hahaha hahaha haha!

Excellent.

If he lives to be 1000 years old he might just make an OK one. he might've got a badge or two by then, who knows?

I agree. He needs time to get experience but we don't have the time to give him, so it's best he departs. I think he'll go on to become a good manager.

[gazsimm]

nicko do you know if the club have set any board meetings today or press conferences. He has to go today bye bye ince

[nicko]

No news as yet.

There is a meeting scheduled, so it's a wait and see job.

Yesterday was a 'dead' day because the chairman was away.

However the feelings were so high after the game on Saturday that it was heading only one way...

The snag remains - do they agree on a successor?

[Sandiway Blue]

Only 2 decisions to make JW:

1: Fire Ince and the backroom staff

2: Appoint BFS as new Rovers manager

I think BFS is the only man who can dig us out of this hole now.In the summer there was talk of us having a chance of cracking the top 4 with rumours of a £20m+ budget (all seems a long time ago now).At the time i didn`t think BFS was the man for us but at the moment things are so dire,the board and most of the fans (including myself!) have to take a whopping big bite of humble pie and try to persuade BFS to be our new manager.

This course of action needs to be done by the weekend,because if we don`t,we might miss the boat as far as BFS is concerned,and in all honesty there isn`t another manager available that can do what needs to be done.

Apart from the three mentioned, Curbs, Sourness and Sam, do you know of any other interest? Coyle seems to be getting a few mentions, but I somewhat doubt that one.

The meeting is today I'm assuming?

[JC4LAB]

Against the grain,I am one of the few who still say back pending what good signings can be made in January.and how we go from there.. I believe that his patch up team of old pal coaching staff are the ones at fault and for his own sake needs to look at them than remain loyal ..

Just for time purposes, do you know when the meeting is scheduled? On another note, do you not think the club will sack Ince and put in place a caretaker?

I think it will be a short-term appointment which rules out Owen...and may even rule out Sam...and Curbs.

[tchocky]

Just sack Ince and his team. We're better off with just the youth coach in charge against Stoke. 0-0 will do me.

if we wait till january, we will be already down with Ince in charge. His signings in the summer have not really made any difference to the team have they, so what makes you think he will do better in January. Sorry to late, need him out now !!!!

I just heard the word 'early' with the meeting - and I think there will be a manager rather than a caretaker if the axe falls.

The Wigan game was the biggest in your recent history.

I don't know what that makes the Stoke match.

'Must-win-or-chuck-it' springs to mind.

the next three games are must win games i reckon.

Would agree, I would be so happy with a nil-all draw!

Cheers Nicko, does make me worry though with the line 'if the axe falls'. I seriously couldn't imagine our board being able to appoint another manager in a day. Other boards yes, but not ours unfortunately. Looking bad at this stage I imagine.

You think he has the Stoke match then?

This is getting dragged out now.

[Mr Creosote]

Sounds like he has. With loads coming from Stoke Ewood could be a real bear pit on saturday.

[Plastic Head]

When we lose on Saturday we might as well start making plans to see what can be done next season in the Championship.

[nicko]

No, I didn't say that...

I think today is the day.

If he survives this then the board must be split beyond repair.

Just wait to see what the next few hours bring.
