[Archived] Paul Ince

[Inta Beaver]

Paul Ince has been appointed the new manager of Notts County, he has finally realised his level.

[Balwer]

You sure that's his level? It didn't work so well for him the second time at MK Dons. I noticed on Sky Sports News his win record in League 1 is 37% and he has lost more games (20) than he has won (17).

Incredible that a run of the mill Lower League Manager could have had a shot with us in hindsight.

[Mc Love]

Has he got his licences yet?

Oi..County are alright. They don't deserve the ego of Ince, particularly not after the Munto Fiasco....Another sad day for decency.

[rog of the rovers]

Shorty was doing an admirable job at County so expect Ince out by January.

Proof that a footballing career can get you somewhere in management even though the two are completely different.

[Billy Castell]

Just had a peek at the Notts County Footy Mad site, and they're really pleased with Ince coming aboard. They think he'll install discipline etc. Oh dear, how they will have their hearts broken.

[Mattyblue]

Beat me to it Billy!

Discipline indeed! The manager can't even be arsed to fo his coaching badges or turn up to training!

Yeah, but he's The Guv'nor, ya know!

[Doaksie]

Don't worry. I'm sure he'll have done his research before making such a big decision. He's ever so professional.

Ince's plans

Whats the point of all that studying when a simple message of 'SHOOT' will suffice?

Obscene decision to replace a decent guy like Short with Ince.

I'm sorry philip, but expect a torrent of abuse to the contrary

Someone will find a reason to object.

[OliverHolt]No, it isn't because Ince is black. You're racist.[/OliverHolt}

[philipl]

He lost his first game at home.

Notts Cpunty being relegated looks a safe bet.

Obscene decision to replace a decent guy like Short with Ince.

Utterly agree. Short came across as a top bloke and model pro when I met him, whereas Ince is the complete reverse.

Can't see him doing well at all there, and from what I gather lots of lower league clubs are rather bitter about the whole County promotion on money they didn't have last season, so I doubt we'll be alone in enjoying Ince mess up.

Thought League 1 would be a bit too much for him...

[John]

[rebelmswar]

League 2 becons.

Wonder how he will do.

[DE.]

Think it's time for Paul to try his hand at something a little easier. Maybe punditry.

[philipl]

Always had a soft spot for Notts County.

Now I can hope they stay up but not at the expense of ruining Keith Hill's Rochdale's magnificent charge towards the play-offs on Tuesday.

[Billy Castell]

If those new PC rules about managerial job interviews come about, perhaps he can become a professional 'token' by letting the club put him on their shortlist to get their ethnic minority candidate for a sly appearence fee.

It'll be either that or manage a team at the level of Dorchester Town.

[bigbrandjohn]

Ince has yet to spend more than one year as manager of a club, despite two previous stints at MK Dons, a spell at Macclesfield and a period at Premier League outfit Blackburn.

Taylor said Ince should have been fully qualified when he took the Blackburn post, but added: "I spoke to Richard Scudamore [the chief executive of the FA Premier League] and said 'we've got to give him a chance, we have promised that we'll fast-track him and get him qualified'. 'I said 'we don't want to make a scene about it but we would do if we needed to'.

But he said, 'Gordon, I agree, we will do all we can'."

Ha! Gordon Taylor and Richard Scudamore 'fast tracking' Paul Ince just cos he's black is inheritantly racist so thank goodness that he threw their help right back in their faces. Serves em right.

I said many times that there was more chance of Glenn Miller landing in France that Ince passing his coaching exams and got roundly criticised on here for my trouble.

Stupid bstards..... A manager is a manager and his skin colour doesn't matter a bean.

[Amo]

But didn't Southgate also get special treatment when he didn't have the qualifications?

Yes and Chris Coleman I believe.

By the way has anyone seen Steve Kean's name on a list yet?
