Anyone know if he has even bothered to start his coaching badges yet?

If he actually did them I would have more respect for this poor excuse for a manager.

gordon let it go,your so bitter,was it his fault williams offered him the job

Yup, because he never had to take it.

But he did, and he failed epically. So they're both responsible.

So Right. But so Hypocritical.

He's made a start but he's broken his red crayon and is waiting for a new one before he can finish colouring.

When I suggested that he suffered learning difficulties I was attacked by many. Nothing has as yet convinced me otherwise.

That's because of the way you went about it (as usual). There's no particular evidence one way or the other unless someone has personal knowledge of his school record...

I can't see oxygen in the air but I know it's there.

Yeah, that's a great parallel, because you breathe proves oxygen is in the air and because you think someone might possibly have a learning difficulty makes it so... Only mildly arrogant...

[philipl]

Ince was a horrible mistake. Let's leave it at that!

ONE of the first questions I was asked when I was being interviewed for the Blackburn job was whether I'd sell David Bentley. I said "yes" because I knew we needed the funds to rebuild and I knew Bents had his heart set on leaving. Perhaps I should have done what Mark Hughes had tried to do and convince David that another season playing with Blackburn, turning in star performances, was what his career needed most.

That's right. I completely forgot what a great attitude Ince had as a player. Pot and kettle for me.

[tony gale's mic]

That is actually quite an interesting article. Ince concentrates less on offering up his awful opinions and more about what happened behind the scenes. He's still an idiot but even an idiot can see Bentley's got attitude problems.

[den]

Plenty on here argued that Ince didn't sell DB, didn't they?

Anyway, why didn't Ince wait until he had actually taken the job and discussed the situation with Bentley, before he decided to sell? I mean - how could he have known about DB's attitude before he got the managers job? Just another load of cobblers from PI.

[1864roverite]

There is one short stock answer Den.

HE DIDNT KNOW WAHT HE WAS DOING

[Amo]

Blah.

I think the key point in that article is that he was asked the question in the interview, and then they gave him the job. In other words, it was the answer the club wanted to hear!

That's more like what you want to believe EIT. JW would have told Ince and the other interviewees that Bentley would be sold, if that was the case.

After all, Hughes wasn't going to sell him, was he.

He's probably lying about having being asked that in the interview...

[The Prof.]

I actually think his article is bob on though. IF Bentley had stayed he might have just grown up enough for it to make the difference. Might not though! Oh well - another wasted English talent in my book who'll never get back to top form..

As it now appears our owners have adopted a 'sell to survive' policy each summer, isn't it probable that anyone who answered "no" to that question was immediately ruled out from getting the job?

Would go some way to explaining how that cretin ended up here in the first place.

Good point.

He's made a start but he's broken his red crayon and is waiting for a new one before he can finish colouring.

Clearly he hasn't had the finances or the support of the board and the fans. Upon breaking his crayon, they should have supplied him with a top quality replacement, yet he is still waiting. Unbelievable.

Hughes wasn't there.

And it seems you are the one believing what you want to believe. Le Chuck's post is far more plausible

[tcj_jones]

That's a really interesting article actually. Fair play, we gave Ince a lot of stick, but we didn't know what exactly was going on behind the scenes. A few of my friends - Arsenal fans - have commented that he had a poor attitude while he was with them. I never saw it under Hughes, but I believe what Ince says is the truth.

"Perhaps I should have done what Mark Hughes had tried to do and convince David that another season playing with Blackburn, turning in star performances, was what his career needed most."

There's nothing plausible about believing that the job offer was dependant on the new man wanting to sell Bentley. That's a ridiculous suggestion. JW said at the time that no-one had to sell David Bentley. You want to believe some other fairy tale?
