Furzdonny, Blackburn damn near wrecked Ince's career so Ferguson Jnr. wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

There's only one job he wants, but until that day comes we'll just enjoy the ride.

And I'm far from being smug, just being realistic.

I doubt Blackburn will want to change managers any time soon Furzdonny they have the best manager a small club in the prem in SA.

And I am sure if Peterborough where in the prem they would attract more fans if they had the stadium. Blackburn is smaller than Bedford after all.

I think to say that Blackburn wrecked Ince's career is very unfair. Ince almost got them relegated with his lack of tactical awareness. Big Sam came in an kept them up even with a tremendous amount of injuries, let us not forget that Samba was upfront for second half of the season.

You're right 21Yeboah, my choice of words was rather unfortunate and no sleight on Blackburn was intended.

What I really meant was that Ince's experience at Blackburn did his career aspirations no good at all and in that respect he was as much to blame as anyone.

i personally think its a good thing him coming back to the team. i also wonder if there would be a chance of us getting andrews back too? possibly even JJ and Nav, as they were players that ince brought the best out of!

ok, he has a lot to make up for because people like lewington and swailes etc will see him as a manager that just possibly abandonned them, and he will have to win back a few faces onto his side. but i dont think this will take long, and i think he will have the crowd the players, and the whole of MK behind him spurring him on by the time we first kick off in august!

What does everyone else think about trying to get andrews back? (could he just of been our best player so far??) and what about trying to get JJ and Nav back??

I think JJ might re-sign for Ince, if he gets no better offers.

With Gleeson, and Howell likely picked ahead of Nav, he'd be on the bench at best even if he did return, imho.

With Leven, I don't think we've missed Andrews much if at all, and I don't think he'd want to come back here now he's on Prem wages, anyway.

I have been told that JJ will be travelling to Portugal to join up with the team with a view to signing on again(fact).

MKARMY dont be such a sceptic, i'm no WUM!!
You won't find me commenting too much on these boards and i only do when I have good info, watch this space, the info provider is good and therefore I was happy to share it with my fellow DONS(genuine) supporters - have faith, i'm not saying he's definitely going to sign but is joining up with the squad so hopefully Incey has orchestrated that and is therefore interested in getting him back in!!!

Ex Dundee manager Alex Rae as his assistant? Interesting but I would rather have seen Ray Mathias back.

Rumours in the W.Midlands, RDM to sign O'Hanlon and Baldock ? Here we go again !
