Ince cleared for Rovers job

Ince
PAUL INCE has won Premier League backing to become Blackburn’s new boss this weekend.
Ince, 40, who led MK Dons to last season’s League Two title, emerged as Rovers’ first choice to succeed Mark Hughes earlier in the week.
A question-mark hung over his appointment, though, because of his lack of coaching badges — especially the UEFA Pro Licence.
But the Premier League board last night gave permission for him to take the Ewood Park job — providing he earns the necessary qualifications within two years.
It means Ince will become the first black Briton to take charge of a top-flight team.
Danish legend Michael Laudrup was the other name in the frame, after Steve McClaren and Sam Allardyce pulled out.
McClaren and Big Sam were both believed to be unhappy at missing out to someone yet to gain any of the necessary qualifications.
Dons striker Kevin Gallen reckons the ex-England midfielder can be a big success.
The ex-QPR star said: “I’ve been very impressed with Paul.
“The biggest thing is he has the respect of the players for what he achieved in his career.
“He always demands 100 per cent from his squad. If he doesn’t get it, that’s when you see him get angry.”
Ince’s first jobs will be to try to convince England ace David Bentley to stay at the club and also keep striker Roque Santa Cruz.
