Should Paul Ince Be Sacked?

Another week, another Premiership manager feels the heat. Last week it was Roy Keane who walked away from Sunderland after refusing to sign a new contract. This week it is Paul Ince of Blackburn Rovers who could soon be departing from his role. Mounting pressure for Ince to go has risen after the 3-0 defeat away to Wigan on Saturday. It leaves Blackburn 2nd bottom of the Premiership and 5 points of the next team above them (Sunderland). Their chairman, John Williams, was highly critical of the team and Ince after defeat to wigan last week.

Case For Paul Ince To Be Sacked
Managers of teams in the Premiership understand the pressures they’ll face before signing onto take the job. If you were to just look at the bold facts then they make for grey reading : Blackburn last won in the Premiership on the 27th September. They have lost their last 6 games, in fact they have only won 3 out of the last 30 points.

Their next two games will underpin the destiny of the club. Stoke City at home and Sunderland away. If Paul Ince is still around by then he must instill belief in his players for these important games. And there is the rub. Paul Ince never bought any of the players he is currently in charge of. They were all purchases of Mark Hughes. So, Ince could use that defense, to buy him some time. Which is something he has not got very much of left at Blackburn Rovers, one feels.
