Brown "Rovers were wrong"

Phil Brown Believes Blackburn were Wrong to get rid of Paul Ince. Ince was sacked on Tuesday following a poor start to the season a decision Phil Brown believes Rovers were too hasty in making."That's 20 managers that have gone this season and five or six have been in the Premier League," the Tigers chief told Sky Sports News.

"If you look at it from a percentage basis, a third of the managers that have been sacked this year have been Premier League managers.

"That is the parameters that we deal with, everybody knows that, but I was over the moon when Blackburn actually appointed Paul Ince.

"They gave a chance to a guy who had cut his teeth at the lower level.

"We played them second game of the season and they were third of fourth in the division. A couple of wins they went back up to tenth or eleventh and a couple of defeats they went down to 18th. Before you know it, you are looking at how the season has developed and we're only 17 games in.

"The guy has got his comeuppance and it's far too early for that."

"He'll be feeling low," he added.

"He looked as though he was getting his teeth into the job and getting the players he wanted to bring in.

"He inherited a good side, but therein lies the problem. It was someone else's team, not his team. Mark Hughes brought those players in because they were Mark Hughes' type of players. We didn't get to see Paul Ince's players.

"He'll be feeling low, no doubt about it, but he'll want to get back in as soon as possible."

hi steve welcome to hull site,

i think the fans and board were split on getting rid of ince,,but league position etc dictated that drastic measures were due,

ince will bounce back
