Ince hints at Blackburn move

Milton Keynes Dons manager Paul Ince has hinted that there is a chance that he could take the job at Blackburn Rovers taking the place of Mark Hughes; who had left to join Man City.

"Blackburn are a great club, with great traditions," he said. "They are a family club and Mark Hughes did a fantastic job there, so we will see."

What Ince is more comfortable with are the actual links to Blackburn. As a relative newcomer to the management game, the 40-year-old has an impeccable record so far, with talk of a Premier League role proving the quality of his work.

"It is nice when you are being talked about by Premier League clubs," he said. "It shows I have done an OK job in my two years as a manager, which I am pleased about."

However, Ince is at pains to stress his immediate priority is events at MK Dons, who have already rebuffed interest from Leicester City about their manager. "At this moment in time I am preparing for a new season with Milton Keynes," he added.

"Blackburn would have to speak to my chairman first. If that happens, we will go from there."
