[Archived] Paul Ince Gone

[chris]

Ah yeah, well I still think he should be given the job before the Toon snap him up. If not Shearer then howabout King Kenny again or even Keegan?

because Shearer has experience sitting on a sofa on TV

crazy talk after we just sacked an inexperience manager

[TAFKAP]

he is a dingle

Yoda, stop following me around like some little old wrinkly Jedi.

go back to your local board for local inbreds then

[Jan]

I do not feel the slightest bit sorry for Ince. I'm glad he's gone and I'd be perfectly happy if he never got a job in football management again. Incompetent from day one, got worse from there. Was dancing around the office when I heard.

[Hughesy]

WIN % in prem games for us according to SSN.

Dagleish 75.7%

Hughes 40%

Souey 33.9% (Based on that its 21 more points under him - leaving us with just 34pts, however this time he has a much better team to work with compared to the last time when we 1st came up)

Ince 18%

[philipl]

I see "back has leapt from 19 votes to 30 since the announcement of the sacking. There must be a moral or a metaphor in there somewhere.

[Exiled in Toronto]

King Kenny talking a lot of sense.

Good job we didn't sack him when he lost 6 on the bounce in the promotion year, playing some truly terrible footy as well. Times have changed since then though, plus he had a bit of a better track record behind him

[philipl]

Mihir Bohse almost labels King Kenny as a managerial failure in his aimless ramble which is ostensibly about Rovers and Ince but cannot quite get round to it.

The picture of Ince with Bryan Robson is emblematic- Incy perhaps learnt too many of his man management skills with the less than abstemious erstwhile Manc captain.

[John]

Listening to Talksport, Ray Houghton is actually making some good points. Why appoint someone who has no experience of managing Premiership players. Especially when you have limited financial resources.

Bascially saying Sam should have been appointed first time around.

Anyway, these points have been mentioned time and time again before on here. Time to move on, hopefully for the better.

[Blue n White Rover]

Feel sorry for Paul Ince but we had no other choice. 3 wins in 17 games is simply not good enough. The step from MK Dons to Rovers was far too big and maybe in a few years with more experience under his belt he'll surely become a better manager. Maybe managing a Championship side would suit Incey.

As for Rovers, Big Sam seems the sensible option but does he want the job?

Souness is a no go as well as McLaren. Curbishley is a decent option but shouldn't be our first choice. One that stands out to me is Roberto Mancini, he has experience managing top players at Inter Milan, however the question mark over him is that is he the leader that will be able to get us out of this relegation dig fight? He comes across as more of the calmer managers mentioned.

For me its between Mancini or Big Sam. Wouldn't mind either of them but knowing Rovers we'll end up with Iain Dowie

[Bobby G]

Sky Sports reporter asked JW hows Paul taken the news to which the chairman replied "Very well. Very well".

:S

[Italian Rover]

There is more chance of a Kenny Dalglish comeback than Roberto Mancini arriving. Zero.

Unless they were both present at Wigan of course....

[sambo]

Yeah, I wonder how he did take it, being egotistical. Don't know if to feel sorry for Incey, although 100% correct decision.

[philipl]

The Times does a quiet exposee on the disaster that was the Ince tenure. One journo who has not discovered this web site if you look at the 2nd page!

[philipl]

Telegraph- Ince never carried the Rovers dressing room. It is strange that a young and thrusting manager turned out to be way behind the curve in terms of thinking.

This really re-enforces the message that no coach should be allowed in the Premier League without the UEFA pro-license. It was suicide to let Ince loose at Ewood without the requisite knowledge. He was captain of England and played at ManU, Inter and Liverpool a decade and more ago but that proved irrelevant to his ability to manage in the Premier League 2008/9- he didn't have the contacts, the knowledge or the skill set needed.

The twenty plus multi-millionaires he was supposedly in charge of effectively bombed him out.

And on recent performances bombed the club out too.

There's are first time for everything I suppose

Sky seem to be pushing Sam a lot tonight, in an attempt to get Sunderland to bite me thinks

[thenodrog]

I dont particularly want Souness back but you sound like Thenodrog ranting about Ince when you make comments like that.

Was I wrong Creosote? Was I hell! Even now you will have to admit it would have been far better for the club and the new manager if the board had adhered to my summer prediction and got rid of Paul Ince before the clocks went back.

thank god williams saw sense and saked him. I think its about 3 to 4 weeks to late though, its a huge job for the new manager now to try and get us out of this mess. Thanks for the memories Paul, but sadly you were the wrong guy for the job.

That first sentence is eerily familiar of another ex-manager...

Seems like it's all starting to come out now. So much for the players being happy with Ince...

[thenodrog]

Maybe I over exaggerated "huge", but look at the Sports News channels, all saying he needed more time. Check out some of the general football forums without club affiliation all saying he needs more time. The LMA coming out supporting Ince and Talksport doing a phone in now talking about this I quote “setting back black managers”.

Wait until later today or tomorrow when Darren Lewis?, Oliver Holt and others get their chance to vent their fury.

I have spoken to fans from other clubs, friends and they all reckon we have sacked him too early.

Can you not tell when people are taking the p1ss out of you? I have spoken to absolutely NO ONE that shares that view

[tony gale's mic]

There are plenty around the messageboards on BBC, on comments on the national newspaper websites who do that. Comments like "the way you have acted you deserve to go down" etc etc. Doesn't mean theyre right obviously.

[thenodrog]

Start of the slaggings:

Disappointingly- Tony Gale on Sky

Some deluded American

Pathetic! They would be better giving less half baked opinion and instead sticking to the facts. Lack of points brings relegation. Full bloody stop. Meally mouthed hypocritical tossers!

This quote will live long in his memory no doubt. It will take me a while to forget it.

And JW even longer!

Is Robbo carrying a handbag?

[thenodrog]

So your saying the rumours of player unrest was true and david dunn was lying when he said the players backed the manager?

err obviously. What else could Dunny say ffs? It's the same at any club a few weeks before a manager is sacked. 1. The vote of confidence from the players. 2. Ditto from the board. 3. The sack.

CH has already also had an extremely unsuccessful try at management as well hasn't he?

Twice.

[thenodrog]

He was on Radio Lancs, saying how totally devestated Ince was when he heard he was being sacked.

Devastated eh? Well now he knows how the WHU fans felt when he paraded around in a MU shirt. What goes around comes around as they say.

he is a dingle
