Blackburn have sacked manager Paul Ince after less than six months in charge with the club second-bottom of the Premier League.

Ince, 41, joined Rovers from MK Dons in June but Blackburn Rovers have now gone 11 games without a league win - which was at Newcastle on 27 September.

Chairman John Williams said: "Three wins in 17 games has seen a squad which finished seventh last season fall to 19th place.
"We are currently in danger of becoming detached from the pack."

Williams said the club intends to appoint a new manager in time for Saturday's match against Stoke, with former boss Graeme Souness an early front-runner, possibly assisted by veteran Blackburn midfielder Tugay.

The former Bolton and Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce, who was considered for the post in the summer before Ince got the job, and ex-Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley have also been linked.
