FOXES LINE UP AN INCE WAR
By Alan Nixon And Tom Hopkinson

Paul Ince and John Gregory are in a straight shoot-out for the vacant managerial post at Leicester.

Foxes chairman Milan Mandaric approached MK Dons boss Ince last week, and the former Manchester United and England midfielder will give the Serb an answer in the next 72 hours. Ince is keen to replace Mark Hughes at Blackburn and should know by Tuesday whether he is in the running at Ewood Park.

If not, he will answer Leicester's call.

Mandaric has also sounded out Gregory. People Sport understands the former Derby and Aston Villa manager is the preferred choice of one of two consortiums who are keen to buy the League One club from Mandaric.

Gregory hopes to learn early this week whether that consortium has any real hope of gaining control.

Those who were screaming against John Gregory being our Manager may just get their wish.

Downside is, he will be our owner instead

 

[FantasyFox]

Will he interfere with himself?

 

[Graz]

Wow, this has been kept quiet?

Not just one, but 2 groups wanting to buy us out? Interesting... but bet nothing comes of it.

More interested in the news that we're likely to know about Ince within the next 3 days... hopefully that's true.

Things are not adding up for me. MM said on Friday he'l know by the end of the weekend on Ince, now a paper says it's going to be 72 hours, which takes us to Tues/Weds. Maybe this is why the manager situation has been dragging on for so long, because someone has enquired about buying the club? But then I think MM has stated his desire to get us back up, he has no intention of leaving bla bla bla. MM and PA clearly don't communicate, so are there issues behind the scenes. We're in one big ****ing mess, thats a fact.

Yep, even I can figure that out.

Explains why Gregorys odds came down so quickly.

 

[Graz]

I think MM said he expected to hear back from MK Dons on whether or not we could speak to Ince... The People seems to be suggesting that Tuesday is when we'll hear from Ince as to whether or not he's coming? They're making it sound as if we have already been granted permission.

Just realised :icon_roll

You're not part of one of the consortia are you?

If so I shudder to think where the money is coming from.

I think people are reading too much into what is probably just more mis-journalism

[Polar Bear]

What we need in this situation is a bit of Sham 69.

 

[Realist]

Rather apt Polar Bear, considering our club is a shambles. :icon_lol:
