How outrageous! West Ham fans up and down the land will be venting their fury at the news that former favourite Paul Ince has been shown the door by Tangerine Dreamers Blackpool. How very dare they?
What has Ince done to deserve the sack exactly? He took over a moderately crap team - his son apart - and nearly a year later, he leaves behind a moderately crap team. Since when has that been a reason for a guy to be sacked exactly?
Ok, Blackpool started the season fabulously, and have fallen away horrifically, but Blackpool has built it's reputation on roller coaster rides so Ince was just doing his bit to support the resort's branding.
And it's true that the Guvnor made a prize arse of himself when he "violently shoved" a fourth official and collected himself a stadium ban - but that's not his fault, for its a well known fact that you can take the boy out of the East End, but you can't take the East End out of the boy.
So what that Blackpool have lost nine games out of the last ten - any team can have a bad run can't they? And so what that the club's supporters wrote to the Chairman demanding that Ince be shown the door? What the hell do football fans know?
Ince is a legend in his own mind and is a great manager just waiting for the right opportunity. His failures at Blackburn, Blackpool, Notts County and MK Dons (the second time around) are simply blips.
Blackpool will surely live to rue the day they parted company with the high and mighty Paul Ince. Maybe he will replace Moyes at Manchester United. Maybe Arsenal will sack Wenger in order to snap him up whilst he is on the job market. Pellegrini must be sweating after Unreal City only netted three at Upton Park. And even Brendan Rodgers must feel anxious, knowing that Ince has the man management skills and tactical acumen to get the very best out of Suarez.
One thing's for sure, it's a sad day for football and the whole football family will be desperate to see Incey back in the game as soon as possible.
Not!

If you had watched Blackpool every week you would understand why he was sacked. This game is a results business and based on his record he will not manage a football league team ever again, West Ham are welcome to him if they feel that strong. Ready the Ian Evett rant, what goes around comes around.
Not big on irony in Blackpool it seems!
I'd want our Manager sacked as well if we lost 9-0 over two legs in a Cup semi-final.
After losing 9-0 over two legs, maybe Sam deserves potting!
Ince and Oyston, probably the worse pairing the football world has ever seen btw.
Whoooooooshhhhhhh!!!!!
Its not ironic. Its written as someone desperately trying to be funny and craving attention.
I am glad Ince has gone, and I hope Allardyce signs a new 5 year contract a takes you down through the leagues!!!! Worst fans I have come across whose behaviour in the play off final will live long in the memory
Nice piece....the other anonymous guy got a tiny brain....Ince was a shocker...looking forward to going back to Bloomfield Road now, it had got that bad, even when we were winning, it wasn't nice...
What did the WH fans do wrong at the play off final?
Good time to bid for Ince junior
@ Steve West.... there were Blackpool fans there? Must have missed that... enjoy... we will be staying in the PL. can you say the same about the championship..xx
So how about an article on what what West Ham need to do to avoid the drop this year?
Realistically,can anything be done or is it all too late..?
You can have him when BFS gets potted. You seem to like our cast off managers.
Pool fan in Devon.

Even as a qpr fan,can't stand Ince & the way he acted about his move to manure. What a pr!ck. The guvernor -my arse!
