Blackburn are seriously threatened with relegation from the Premier League this season. They have not won in 11 matches and have collected only 13 points this season so far in the league, thereby getting stranded just one place off the bottom.
Such poor form seems to have convinced Blackburn chairman John Williams who decided to relieve Ince of his duties on Tuesday. He explained his decision by saying on the club’s official website:
“Three wins in 17 games has seen a squad, which finished seventh last season, fall to 19th position. We are currently in real danger of becoming detached from the pack.
“The survival of the club in the Premier League is paramount and our focus now is on finding a replacement who will be able to maintain our top division status.
“Paul will bounce back, he is a fighter and we wish him well.”
