Personally I think it's far too early to be thinking of sacking him. He's not come a bad manager overnight and should be at least given enough time to bring in his own players. Souness wouldn't be the answer. Blackburn manager Paul Ince's job is hanging by a thread after their run of defeats continued against Wigan on Saturday - and former Rovers boss Graeme Souness is the clear favourite to replace him. (Daily Mirror) Ince will be called into an emergency meeting on Monday or Tuesday to explain Blackburn's sixth straight defeat. (Daily Express) Ince is likely to be sacked this week and a new manager will be in place before Saturday's game against Stoke. (Daily Mail) Ince will ask Blackburn to let him take charge against Stoke to prove he has what it takes to turn things around at Ewood Park. (The Sun) Souness will return on a short-term basis and his backroom staff would include popular Blackburn midfielder Tugay. (Daily Mirror) The prospect of Souness returning has met with opposition on Blackburn's board because of the way he left the club to take charge at Newcastle in 2004. (The Guardian) The directors at Ewood Park are split over who should succeed Ince, with ex-Bolton boss Sam Allardyce and former Charlton manager Alan Curbishley also being considered. (Daily Mirror) Allardyce has ruled himself out of the Blackburn job if it does become vacant. (The Sun) Burnley boss Owen Coyle is also among the contenders for the Rovers post. (Daily Telegraph) Most of the Blackburn squad flew to Dublin for their Christmas party following Saturday's 3-0 defeat by the Latics but Ince did not join them. (Daily Mirror) Some Rovers players, including striker Roque Santa Cruz, did not travel to Dublin either. (Daily Mail)
