ian1964 10,720 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ince’s relationship with chairman Karl Oyston has hit an all-time low - and that could lead to change Blackpool are set to sack boss Paul Ince – and make veteran skipper Barry Ferguson their new player-manager. Ince’s relationship with chairman Karl Oyston is at an all-time low because of bad results and the future of his son, Tom. Now Ince, who refused to meet the media after the defeat to Barnsley, is poised to be chopped and replaced internally. Ferguson – a former Scotland captain – is a respected voice in the dressing room and will be asked to take charge with coach Steve Thompson. It will be an ironic twist as Ferguson was banished on loan by Oyston last season and only brought back during Ince’s reign. Ince and assistant Alex Rae both look set to go as the Seasiders try to halt their slide. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/paul-ince-set-sack-blackpool-3039766#ixzz2qt5PU040 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Whilst I would wish Barry all the best, it's hard to see him making this step up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 825 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Will we see him on Match of the day with an interpreter standing next to him? To translate the likes of "Wat a fud" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The ball will never make it to the strikers. Sideways pass followed by sideways pass. And, are managers allowed to take throw ins, free kicks, corners and penalties? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tare managers allowed to take throw ins, free kicks, corners and penalties? YES, if they're the player-manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 YES, if they're the player-manager. He'll have even more authority now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibmark 19 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just reading there that Paul Ince is set to be sacked and Barry Ferguson set to be unveiled as their new player manager! http://www.lep.co.uk/sport/blackpool-midfielder-barry-ferguson-set-to-take-over-from-manager-paul-ince-1-6383563 He was always very vocal on the pitch, though not always positively. How do you think that he'll get on? I wish him all the best should it materialise. I will be a very interested onlooker and now add Blackpool to the ever growing list of teams that I hope do well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ince got the boot today, so the rumour about Barry Ferguson might actually be true. I doubt if Blackpool will see him as a long term option, but as a temporary manager, if he gets the team behind him and gets the right results, then you never know. Best of luck to him if it happens anyway! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
