Ince sacked by Blackpool

Blackpool fans got their wish yesterday as the club announced the sacking of manager Paul Ince.

The club’s 2-0 defeat to bottom-side Barnsley on Saturday meant the Seasiders had lost nine of their last 10 games, leading to speculation that Ince would lose his job.

It appeared as though the former Blackburn manager had managed to escape that fate after talks with chairman Karl Oyston on Sunday evening ended with Ince’s job still intact.
