Paul Ince: I'll repay Blackburn Rovers' faith
 |
| LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: Paul Ince |
BLACKBURN Rovers' new 'Guv'nor' Paul Ince has vowed to lead the club into an exciting new era after being handed the responsibility of building on Mark Hughes' legacy.
Ince was due to be formally unveiled as Rovers' new boss today at a high noon press conference, having accepted the challenge of replacing Hughes in the Ewood Park hot-seat.
And the former England and Manchester United ace, who beat a host of more experienced managers to the job, says he intends to repay the Rovers board for putting their faith in him by proving he has what it takes to be a major success in the Premier League.
In an exclusive interview with the Lancashire Telegraph, Ince said: "I'm delighted to have been given this chance.
"When you look at what Sam Allardyce has done in the game, and Steve McClaren, who I know is a fantastic coach after working with him at Middlesbrough, to come through ahead of people like them, and Michael Laudrup, and Henk Ten Cate, just shows what belief Blackburn have in me, and I hope I can repay that.
"This is a great challenge for me and I'm very excited by it.
"Mark Hughes did an absolutely fantastic job here and it's now down to me to continue that, and hopefully squeeze a bit more out of the squad if I can."
Having served an impressive apprenticeship in the lower leagues, first with Macclesfield Town, and then MK Dons, who he led to a league and cup double in League Two last season, Ince was hungry for an opportunity to test himself in the Premier League, so he jumped at the chance to speak to Rovers once Hughes left for Manchester City almost three weeks ago.
However, he then feared his chances of securing a dream move to Ewood were going to be scuppered by red tape, with the Premier League threatening to block his appointment because he lacked the necessary coaching badges.
Thankfully, though, Rovers fought the 40-year-old's corner and, much to Ince's relief, he was finally granted a special dispensation by the league last Friday, which cleared the way for him to be appointed as Hughes' successor.
"The most important thing for me was I felt wanted," said Ince.
"The situation with the qualifications was difficult, but John Williams has been absolutely fantastic.
"He was a real pillar of strength for me through all of that because there were times when I thought I wasn't going to get the job.
"But he pursued the situation and made it clear he wanted me to be the manager of his football club."
Ince is desperate to get his teeth into his new job and, once today's formalities are out of the way, he insists his first priority will be to persuade David Bentley and Roque Santa Cruz that their futures lie at Ewood.
"Any manager starting his first year in the Premier League wants to keep his best players, so I'll be speaking to Bentley and Santa Cruz, and indeed all of my players, and then we'll go from there," said Rovers' new boss.
"It's hard to form an opinion until you've spoken to the players directly, but of course I want to do well this season, and I want to start off well at Blackburn, not just for myself but for the people who have stuck by me, and for the fans.
"And getting rid of your best players is not the best way to go about that."
Another issue Ince is keen to address is the make-up of his backroom staff, with Ray Mathias, his trusted number two at MK Dons, set to join him at Rovers, along with several others from the League Two champions.
"I've had people with me for the last two years and we've been successful in what we've done," said Ince.
"They are also trustworthy and loyal, and you need people like that around you.
"Obviously, this is a big step up for them, just as it's a big step up for me, but we are excited by this challenge, and the fact we are at such a fantastic football club.
"In many ways, this reminds me of when I was at West Ham, because that was a great family club too."
With an experienced team alongside him to help guide him along the way, Ince is convinced he can emulate what Hughes achieved during his four years in the Ewood hot-seat, and get Rovers pushing for the top-six again.
He added: "That's not just the challenge for me; that's the challenge for clubs like Aston Villa and Tottenham too.
"Being realistic, it's very difficult to challenge the top four because of the finances they've got.
"But this club has always been in the top half of the table, it has always challenged for Europe, and that has to be my aim - to get this club back into a UEFA spot."

I just hope he doesnt bring it too many trainers or people from MK DONS. We dont need lower class coaches or crappy players from MK DONS. I really hope he doesnt sign any MK DONS players. Having an MK Dons assistant manager in MAttias, im a bit scared. I hope that its not going to be an amateur operation.

Good on 'ya Incey, I for one am very excited by this appointment. I used to dislike Ince in his playing days, not because of his attitude or personality - but because you knew you were in a battle when he was on the field...he was a leader, with a very strong mentality...
I think he can install this steel into Rovers, and get the centre of midfield working as a strong unit…
Incey’s Blue ‘n White Army ;)

Ince needs to avoid bringing to many of lower division coaches in... i hope he can attract a few big name players... and i think he should sell bentley, hes stuck up, has far more confidence in his ability than anyone else does, and his attitude is poor... as for Santa Cruz..Ince wants to sit down with him and tell him that he is going no were!!!!

I have kept quiet for the last couple of weeks due to the circus surrounding the new gaffer.
I am 100% confident that Ince is the real deal. Yeah ill be the first to say i wanted Billic or Laudrup but taking a step back from the situation we have a man in charge that mirrors our club ethos 'arte et labore'.
You can draw a pretty extensive list of top managers that now ply their trade in the Prem who started out in humble surroundings...Fergu
son (St Mirren) O'Neil (Wycombe Norwich Leicester) Keegan (newcastle) Moyes (Preston) Curbishley (Charlton)..
The point being is that everyone above had a taste of the lower leagues before being given or gaining a place in the premiereship.
Ince has played for the best, and was arguably one of the finest midfielders of his generation. Yeah i hated him back in the mid 90's but he was class for both club and country.
I think next season will be a bit of a rollercoacter ride as he gets to grips with the top flight, but i beleive given time he will be an excellent appointment.
I cant say that under Hughes we didnt have our spells were we didnt quite perform, and for me as there is no Europe to contend with this year, this will be a lessing in disguise.
If he manages to keep Bentley and Rocky that will be an impressive start.
The main problem i have is that i cant get a decent tune going....apart from 'Paul Ince's Blue and white army....
Any suggetsions?....i cant get any further with 'Incey Wincey Manager Climbing up the prem'...yeah i know that ones sh1t!!!
Ah well...Rovers Till I Die!!

Ince will be a success if he has a strong team around him. I am worried that he is bringing ray mathias with him, he is a poor manager, old and surely has no new ideas.
Mark Bowen was at the top of his game, he knew everything and had modern ideas.
I feel it like dumping Linzy Lohan for Vaness Felts.

I think he's just trying to make a point that we need a bit of experience behind him. That's not being negative.
This is a big step up for Ince and he will need all the help he can get.
Bringing in too many of the MK Dons staff will mean a big jump up for a lot of people. Not all of them will cut it and we can't afford weak links.
I don't think Ince will allow it to be an 'amateur operation', but a bit of EPL experience in his backroom staff would be advisable.

Most BRFC supporters who post on this website will tell you that we are a million miles away from the Dingles down the road. If that is the case, just how far are we from the Dons?
I think Ince is the right appointment. By Far. His determination and grit will be outstanding and I’m all for a young up-and-coming manager.
My second choice would’ve been Bilic, because he shows the same commitment and passion.
Big Sam and McClaren (the experienced choices) would’ve been a nightmare for this club. Managers coming to re-invent themselves, is not what the club needed.
Ince will add a new dimension to the club and I’m sure he will have an amazing impact on the attitudes of the players and create a great team spirit with a ‘must win’ attitude to ALL games.
I just think that if he is to hit the ground running, he needs to get the players on his side, ship out the players who haven’t got the heart and appoint someone in his staff with EPL experience. The scouting staff at MK Dons will not be used to searching out the class of players needed by a club pushing for a top six finish.
This is the best league in the world and things are done quite differently at this level (I should imagine). That is why it is necessary for managers to hold the relevant qualifications. Until, he has the badges, he needs someone to hold his hand, advise and guide.
Good Luck Ince. Looking forward to the new season!

Yes TC, you could try the chorus from that old Status Quo classic of the 70's, you know the one that goes 'Down, down deeper and down, get down deeper and down', because that's where Ince is taking you lot. lol

All I’m saying is that if I was frying fish at the Happy Haddock and then got a job at the Ritz, my Seared Cape Sea Scallops w/ Corn Risotto, Mushroom & Corn Ravioli, French Beans & Corn ‘Jus’ wouldn’t taste right to the average customer.
I’d need a bit of help from Ramsay.

Dingle den, u seem desperate to go on about us going down next season.
Is it maybe a distraction for you, considering Burnley are favourites to get relegated?
Maybe, ur so worried about your survival, you would rather speak about rovers then comment your own side?
how do u think burnley will do, considering everyone wants to leave ur side?
