[Archived] Paul Ince Gone

[jim mk2]

The sickening thing is our relegation wont be put down to Paul Ince's awful management. It will be put down to the team not giving him the funds to get us out of this mess...

Our relegation will be owing to a huge of error of judgment by the chairman in appointing the wrong manager and his failure to act to correct it.

I guess ill be sending JW some more emails! Utter disgrace,is all i can say right now about Mr John Williams. Another day passes, and 1 more nail in the coffin!

Calm down. The day's not over yet and anyway you don't know what they are doing. If they were going to stand by him I think they had to come out and say so (but perhaps I'm wrong) so perhaps it is as has been said that they are trying to get things sorted with reference to a replacement before they make any announcement. I keep hoping that's what's happening anyway although with our club the way it is at the moment I'm no longer sure about anything. If JW felt sorry for the fans at the weekend he should know that actions speak louder than words and what most of us want to see now, apart from those who are still for giving Ince a chance in the face of overwhelming evidence that he is not the right manager here and now for our club, is Ince's departure. We'd feel better knowing he'd gone.

Sacked in the morning, your getting sacked in the morning!!

Well thats what I hope anyway.

Stoke 3/1 to win saturday, rovers 6/4 against to go down. Stuck £50 on stoke out of frustration waiting for news. Lose saturday i'll bang some on relegation, Bookies clearly think we are down as those odds are'nt too tempting!

Never have been so happy to lose money if that pathetic excuse for a manager is gone very shortly! Why is there no action, I hate fooball, i'm gonna follow darts

[deftangel]

Christ almighty....there is no point sacking Ince and leaving a complete vacuum all week when there is a vital game to prepare for, regardless of Ince's ability (or lack of) to prepare them properly. Without a viable caretaker to take over whoever comes in need to come in straight away. In the meantime, someone's got to keep things ticking over whilst JW gets on with getting the right person in.

I have every confidence Ince WILL be sacked. Because it hasn't happened 5 minutes ago isn't a reason to start throwing ourselves off of cliffs, christ knows we've enough of them already.

Blackburn reprieve for Paul Ince as he stays in charge for Stoke City clash

[Tom]

Please God no no no no!

[Manchester Blue]

Sadly that just fits in with my fears that they won't sack him before Stoke, firstly cos they can't find a replacement, secondly I think they are gambling we might win. Truly staggering really after Saturday as Williams clearly saw it the same as we did from those comments.

[Bobby G]

Incompetent board. What are they doing!? I really cannot believe it. Its a sick joke.

[ebenrocks]

The board are mugs. Williams is a tosser who is bottling the big decisions and, in that is just a bad as Ince. If we are relegated it is both their faults.

How the hell is a defence as ###### poor as ours going to cope with Delap?

I would think the fan reaction to the Wigan game and JW's comments will mean Ince will go prior to the Stoke game, I don't see that he can continue. Hopefully they are just sorting out the compo and lining up targets.

The Daily Mail version seems much more definitive in its information and the guy who wrote it has I believe promised on the official MB to run naked round Sawley tomorrow morning if there is no announcement of Ince's departure.

The Guardian is also much closer to the Daily Mail version than the Telegraph.

Nicko did say there was a meeting taking place in Manchester today unless he and the Daily Mail journo have the same sources and they're untrue, it must have been this?

[roverfanuk]

The very interesting thing IMO is it seems JW wasn't present during the meeting...

[stuwilky]

The DM version does not contain anything that has not been posted on this very messageboard though - does it?

[philipl]

Times- Ince awaits the sack

perhaps too busy lining up a new man?

Apparently he's been sat in his office most the day, like clockwork? As per any other day?

[Paul]

Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, The Times, Guardian and to a lesser extent The Independent here all telling their readers absolutely nothing. The Independent is worthy of some praise for partly assessing the situation as it is, a view expressed by a few posters on here for several weeks. The others are simply stating the bleedin' obvious, which we all know "Ince will be told today if he is to be sacked or allowed to stay" as usual these articles could have been written by anyone from Blackburn, put together simply by trawling this thread and using JW's quotes from Saturday. Rubbish reporting, a shame it's in the quality papers.

How doe these journalists get away with it?

[Paul]

Harry Redknapp has a hopeful take on things from our point of view Spurs miles from a top four finish in The Guardian.

"As for this season, I think there will be 14 teams stuck in a possible relegation battle. Anybody could slip into it. You wonder where we'd be now if we hadn't had such a fantastic run. It doesn't bear thinking about. Everybody's scrapping for their lives and looking over their shoulders. I couldn't stand here and honestly say we're looking to get into Europe."

I'd say he's over-egging things a bit by suggesting 6th place and down as potential releagtion candidates but I'd suggest 11th downwards is looking uncomfortable. Even given our position all is far from lost. Win the next three matches and we could be around 14 / 15th. Given the importance of Saturday I'm amazed Williams allowed the players to go to Dublin. Football managers complain of players being tired through travel etc. Rovers have allowed their entire first team squad (RSC and Tugay excepted) out on the p!ss a few days prior to a crucial match. A very questionable decision in my view.

[philipl]

If you read that Guardian piece from the standpoint of looking for evidence that Ince's job is safe, you won't find any.
