Is Paul Ince Going Sooner? Bookmakers Suspending Betting

Paul Ince's days at Blackburn might be limited, if we believe the signals coming out of the club as well as the UK bookmakers. Leading UK Bookmakers, William Hills today suspended the market on next Premiership manager to leave his club after they received lots of 4 figure bets on odds of 15/8. "Ince was 15/8 favourite to be the next to go but after he was backed down to 4/7 with punters coming for four-figure bets that he would be the next boss out we decided to close the book, just in case an announcement might be imminent," said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "We'll decide whether to re-open on Tuesday morning." Betting Choice had reported on Paul Ince hot on the sacking seat on 3rd Dec 2008. It was mentioned that Ince had only 6 games to prove himself. Since then Rovers' have lost one game out of that to league leaders Liverpool on Saturday. It was Rovers' 10th straight defeate in the Barclays Premier League ever since they won against Newcastle on 27th September 2008. Blackburn chairman John Williams, when asked to comment on Paul Ince's future told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: 'The board will make the decision it feels is in the best interests of the club.' Now Rovers's are second from the bottom, just ahead of West Brom. They face Wigan on a Saturday now at the JJB Stadium. Paul Ince is expected to be with the team for the game and he would be looking for a big win from his team to buy more time from the club management. William Hills have closed the betting for now but SkyBet are still offering 8/11 on Paul Ince to be the next premiership manager to go. While Paddy Power are offering up some choice odds on the vacant Sunderland position!
