Ince is fans’ favourite to take reins at Blackburn

PAUL INCE has paid a glowing tribute to the “traditions” of Blackburn Rovers, fuelling speculation he will eventually end up at Ewood Park.

With former England team-mate Alan Shearer pulling out of the race to succeed Mark Hughes, Ince is the fans’ favourite to get the job.

Ince made a positive impression at lowly Macclesfield in his first year as a boss, before guiding MK Dons to the Coca-Cola League Two championship last term.
