Paul Ince sacked

As expected, Blackburn get rid of their manager

Paul Ince

In a poll held last week, 51 per cent of Spoiler readers said Paul Ince wouldn’t make it to Christmas at Blackburn, and the slight majority were proved right today as the club let him go after just six months in charge.

Ince left his last job at Franchise FC because of his success, and has argued that he should have had more time to turn things around at Blackburn. After six consecutive defeats, however, Chairman John Williams argued that the club were in danger of “becoming detached from the pack.”

The same names that were touted for the Sunderland job have been mentioned for the opening at Ewood Park: Graeme Souness, Curbs, Sam “somebody please give me a job” Allardyce and Avram Grant. Some have even speculated that Tugay could graduate to the hot seat, or that Mr Analysis Alan Shearer could be given his first managerial role.

We think Alan Curbishley would be well suited to the role – do you agree? Let us know…
