Ince takes charge at Blackburn

Tuesday 24th June 2008, 10:00AM BST.

ince1.jpegFormer Wolves star Paul Ince has been unveiled as the new Blackburn Rovers boss.

Ince will becomes the first black English manager in the Premier League and that move has been backed by Piara Power, director of anti-racism organisation Kick It Out.

He said: “Although Paul Ince has been given the job solely on the basis of what he can bring to Blackburn Rovers, we hope he can be an inspiration to the many other black players leaving the game and a signal to chairmen across the leagues that they too should be looking at black coaching talent.”

    Good luck Guv’nor…

    The thing that he will get at Blackburn is time to adapt to his new surroundings as they don’t seem to fire there gaffers very often.

    I hope he makes a success of it… I think he will… He had MK Dons playing some good football last year.

    I like the chairman of MK Dons he really seems to want a success of the club… I wish them all the best.

    And the possible Wolves future glory has been lost forever!

    Well done Moxey, another great failure to add to your ever expanding CV of failures!

    2 & 3terryWOMANISERbaggie – Firstly grow up! Yes we know the Tesco carrier bags have gone up but do you have to be so negative about ex-Wolves players or is it because that a proven premiership team will put three or four past you when you meet. All I can say is good luck Incey, it’ll be a case of what if……..
