Paul Ince is a feisty young manager who is demonstrating that he’s prepared to fight tooth and nail to defend his team. There were one or two unsavoury (but accurate?) things said about Blackburn in the build-up to Sunday’s match with Chelsea, and the Rovers boss went about putting things right with one or two well-chosen words.

With the money flying around in the Premier League at the moment (not literally), it’s always a bit dangerous to start questioning whether a club can afford to buy one of your players, especially as there are one or two outfits with a seemingly bottomless pot of cash.

Not so long ago, Nemanja Vidic was quoted in a few newspapers, speaking of his difficulty acclimatising to life in England. Never mind that the guy was from Serbia and had been playing football in Russia before he joined Manchester United. Now a Blackburn forward has hit the headlines with similar quibbles about life in the grim north of the country, it doesn’t seem like he’s getting much support from his manager either!

The Gunners were woeful at Craven Cottage a few weeks ago, and supporters will be hoping for a vast improvement when their team travels to Blackburn on Saturday.

They say that there’s a gulf between the Premier League and Championship, so one can only imagine the supposed chasm that exists between the English top flight and League Two.

It appeared as though Paul Ince had persuaded this forward to commit himself to Blackburn Rovers, although it’s come to light that no contract has yet been signed at Ewood Park.

Hammers fans enjoyed a magnificent opening ten minutes to the Premier League campaign, with Dean Ashton firing in two early goals to ensure that the team got off to the best possible start against Wigan.

After three weeks of searching for a replacement for David Bentley, Paul Ince looks to have identified his target, and plans to submit a cheeky £9.5m bid for a Spanish winger. [Read the rest of this entry »]

Brad Friedel and David Bentley have already jumped the good ship Blackburn Rovers this summer, and there now appears to be a third exit on the horizon.

Never has there been a summer where clubs are not prepared to let players leave until they have found a suitable replacement. Sometimes it’s been the opposite, where clubs can’t buy a transfer target until they have the cash from a player sale. It all appears to have worked out for Blackburn and Aston Villa, who have landed themselves new goalkeepers ahead of the new season. Perhaps fans of the latter have more reason to be cheerful!

It’s been a tricky start to life at Ewood Park for Paul Ince. It’s almost as if he’s a knight who has arrived at a castle, only to find it under immediate attack from barbarians, so he’s been busy trying to ward them off with his bow and arrow before they loot the crown jewels.

As we’ve learnt this summer, a player wanting to leave a football club does not mean it’s going to happen. After all, unless they are out of contract (in which case the world is their oyster), a bidder has to meet their current club’s valuation. In the case of Blackburn and [Read the rest of this entry »]

It might surprise you to hear that out of the three players for which Blackburn have recently received a bid, none of them have been for striker Roque Santa Cruz.
