Ince has Blackburn backing

Blackburn boss Paul Ince has revealed that he has the full backing of the board and the club's players. Ince has been under pressure since the start of the season after a series of disappointing results in the Premiership, which sees Rovers languishing in the relegation zone.

Ince knows that he needs to get some points on the board to help drag Blackburn out of the relegation zone.

Ince will be hoping that his chairman releases funds so that the club are able to buy new players as soon as possible.

Ince said: "After the defeat at Portsmouth at the weekend we all had a chat.

"A few of the lads stood up, people like Roque (Santa Cruz), and they all said how important it is to keep working, to keep spirits and morale up and not to listen to all the negativity.

"The lads know it's going to be a battle, but they said 'Listen, we're all in it together, let's work hard, be positive and we can get through this situation we're in'.

"As for John Williams, he has done nothing but back me. We all know where we are, but we also know we've got games to rectify that.

"As long as you've the support of the chairman, that's all that matters."
