Yes it is... But he's done great where he has been so that should be more than enough

Mr Alan

i mean the actual coaching badges

the qualifications were meant to prevent inexperienced former players walking into the top jobs ahead of the managers of the lower leagues who done well but always get overlooked. ironically Ince is exactly the type of manager they want to encourage yet he had to get dispensation... :rolleyes:

Mr Alan

are Blackburn in Europe?

yeah, that's the point I was making. with the amount of dispensations there is it seems pointless to me. about 2 or 3 a year on average i think?. Roy Keane, Avram Grant, and Southgate... before that Roeder, and wasn't there someone else? seems pointless anyway...

They qualified for that Intertoto cup I think, if they win that they get into the UEFA cup as far as I know. Good look to Ince, he'll need it ....

On the point of coaching badge exemptions I don't think that Ince's appointment really falls far outside the LMA's intentions. He's has two full seasons of successful management and is only missing his Pro Licence. Like Roy Keane he'll be actively pursuing his Pro Licence during the season. Similarly, Grant has experience and is/was sitting his Pro Licence during the season.

In my view the only two notable exceptions are Roeder, who was exempted due to his cancer, and particularly Southgate who was only sitting the B licence at the time.

Hopefully Ince will translate his lower league success to the top level but I reckon he faces a difficult first season given that he has to fill Mark Hughes shoes while probably needing to replace some of their better players.

Another ex-united player joins the ranks of premiership managers.;)

Good luck to him. He's earned it even though he's not got the full credentials yet. Hope it's no Allardyce/Newcastle saga...

I think this will end badly for 'the guv'nor'. Massive jump from MK Dons to the Premiership.

Think this makes it likelier Bentley and Santa Cruz will be on the move

Maybe, but if keane can do it no reason why Ince can do it,the only difference I suppose is that Keane had bucket loads of money to spend.

To be fair I think they were always going to be on the move imo

MementoMori

Yeah -think Bentley and Santa Cruz were always likely to move but this just seals it - I was thinking if Blacburn got a "bigger" name in they might have been able to hang on to them

Possibly Santa Cruz, but I get the feeling Bentley thinks that he should be playing cl football, will be interesting to see where he ends up for me I can't see Arsenal Utd or Chelsea going for him, maybe Liverpool, would love Arsenal to get Santa Cruz.

well its a good move for blackburn IMO, hughes had no PL experience either, though he had with wales

ince has proved himself in the lower divisions and its good to see a team giving a chance to an upcoming manager instead of going for a foreign unknown, as happens a lot.

regarding the coaching badges, they were mainly brought in to stop the an owner giving his son a job, who had no previous experience before etc. if its a manager who just hasnt had a chance to do teh badges yet and who intends to do them, they will usually always allow them to manage

Maybe you were in nappies at the time:D,but Ince played for United from 1989-1995,206 appearances in all.
He also played for Liverpool from 1997-1999,65 appearances.

Nope. I remember it well. It's just the latter supercedes the former. He had a far better goals to game ratio for us so that proves he loved playing for us more and gave his all. case closed.

He scored 24 times for United in 206 games,10 times for Inter in 54 games and 14 times for Liverpool in 65 games,so that means on your logic,that he loved playing for Inter more than Liverpool.:D

Apparently Ince will sing Andrews who is a midfielder from Dublin.

Remember that goal he scored he scored against United thinking he cost them the league?

then United won the treble a few weeks later?

good times :cool:
