Blackpool are set to sack boss Paul Ince and make Barry Ferguson player-manager

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.

Just reading there that Paul Ince is set to be sacked and Barry Ferguson set to be unveiled as their new player manager!

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.

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!
