No one gets enough time these days

Well, he'd taken a pretty good team under Hughes to bottom of the table, hardly surprising. They have to turn it around while they still can.
Agree, if they had left it till March it could have been too late to rescue things...Ince has been in the game long enough to know the penalty for failure in the premiership.......

The Blackburn squad returned to training on Tuesday after their Christmas party in Dublin and they were put through their paces by assistant manager Ray Matthias while Ince met with the board.
So they got beat 3-0, then went on a piss up in Dublin?I'd have had the f
kers in for training on Sunday and cancelled the party ... FFS!Is it any wonder they're in the trouble they're in - Ince or no Ince.
ANd the fact that he has gone is deplorable ... when is this manager-go-round climate going to stop - there are only FOUR team that can win the Premiership - everyone else is hoping not to get relegated - three will be - that is a certainty.
It would've been almost impossible for anybody to do any better than hughes had done there. With Santa Cruz struggling this season and Benni Mccarthy not able to follow up his great 1st season 2 years ago, the odds were against him.
He was always going to struggle after selling Bentley and not making any decent signings with the cash(Paul Robinson doesn't count as decent).

not enough time?! 11 games getting beaten is pretty dire and long enough IMO
sure, he was always going to struggle against what hughes did but i think we (the supporters) were expecting a bit more than second from bottom. Losing 3-0 to wigan is dire, and hardly suprising that it was the final straw.
Leaving it until the end of Jan would have been madness - at least now there is some hope of us getting back amongst it over christmas and into Jan.
They need someone with experience to dig them out of this and it doesnt faze me to hear names like souness and allardyce being mentioned

Shame, crazy that a manager doesn't get longer than that.
The Chief Exec should go too, they knew his lack of experience when they hired him.
Couldn't agree more. I'm of the mind that there should be a managers transfer window, like they have for players - Once a manager is hired he can only be replaced in January. This would probably make the Chairman and board more careful when they consider applicants, plus giving the appointed manager a realistic time to get things right. It would also stop the fans putting the board under pressure to sack managers, Sam Alardyce springs to mind.The Chief Exec should go too, they knew his lack of experience when they hired him.

That's a shame, i think a manager should at least get a season.
Why?If Blackburn go down we will stay down for a long time. In six months we have gone from having had quite a poor season to finish 7th to becoming cut adrift at the bottom. Things were not picking up, they were getting worse every week. Ince had obviously lost the dressing room, and to be honest he looked out of his depth from the moment he arrived.
I accept that 6months is not long enough to judge Ince as a premier league manager, but it was more than long enough for him to fail as Blackburn Rovers manager.
