Bert Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Milan Mandaric was expecting to be granted permission by MK Dons later today to speak to Paul Ince.The Leicester City chairman has set himself a deadline of this weekend to get his new manager appointed. Ince is in the frame although Mandaric insists there is no recognised front-runner at this stage. Former City coach John Gregory and player Simon Grayson have been strongly linked to the post. Gregory has recently being described in speculation as the fall-back candidate if Ince cannot be secured. But Mandaric denies the issue has reached that point. He said: “I have three or four names in mind and Paul Ince is definitely one of them but I would not put anyone's name at the top of the list. “I will be interviewing several in the hope that it can be sorted by the end of the week and I hope that Paul Ince will be one of them. “I do not see any reason for MK Dons not to grant permission for me to at least talk to him and I expect to hear that I will be able to do so very soon. But he will be just one of those I am interested in and there is no favourite yet.” Blackpool have made strong statements about their determination to hang on to Grayson while MK Dons know Ince has been linked with the vacant Blackburn Rovers job. But more high-profile contenders like Steve McClaren and Sam Allardyce now seem to be in the running there. Mandaric wants the whole issue settled this week, well before the City players report back for pre-season training in the first week of next month. That would mean the new manager and, presumably, his new staff could get settled into their positions. Ince was linked to the City job just over a year ago when Mandaric searched for a successor to Rob Kelly because the former West Ham and Manchester United man had done an impressive job at Macclesfield Town. Ironically, when Martin Allen was secured from MK Dons, Ince was his replacement and he gained promotion and won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy .Link.
Corky Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 No mention of Billy Davies in that article. I assume we aren't goint to get him. Anyone but Gregory please.
Tilley Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 No mention of Billy Davies in that article. I assume we aren't goint to get him. Anyone but Gregory please. I'd settle for Ince, Still unsure he'll come here, My third choice is Grayson.
Number 6 Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Would prefer Ince to Davies to be honest. His appointment would excite me the most anyway. It is seeming more and more likely.
MikeyT Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Steve Mclaren and Sam Allardyce mentioned as well as the "high profile" names! Cant see either of them 2 in a million years taking this job! C'mon Milan Ince or Davies please!

Benji Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Steve Mclaren and Sam Allardyce mentioned as well as the "high profile" names!Cant see either of them 2 in a million years taking this job! C'mon Milan Ince or Davies please! I think that means they are in the running for the Blackburn job, over Ince
The Stig Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Just like he expected us to get in the Premiership in three years.
teblin Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Just like he expected us to get in the Premiership in three years. Still could though higjly unlikely.
Daggers Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 ...I mean to say - it's not exactly the first time he'll have been pictured with a shirt before the transfer has gone through
Sniffer-Clarke Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 John Williams [ The Blackburn Chairman] said on SSN today they dont expect to make an appointment for between 7-10 days to replace Mark Hughes.
Sniffer-Clarke Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Paul Ince in MA suit i bet incey will be pleased with that
davieG Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 ...I mean to say - it's not exactly the first time he'll have been pictured with a shirt before the transfer has gone through But why are they fighting over the shirt - have we only got one left!?
Moreton Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 I'd settle for Ince, Still unsure he'll come here, My third choice is Grayson. Who's you're second choice?
Tilley Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Who's you're second choice? Ince, Billy Davies is my first.
Jack Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 I'd be pleased if Ince came, not too sure if he will or not.
Guest shearfox Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 For me I would like to see Ince, Davies or Grayson
Sniffer-Clarke Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 For me I would like to see Ince, Davies or Grayson Agreed
Tilley Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Hopefully, later, there will be the SSN ticker, MK Dons Grant Paul Ince Permission To Speak To Leicester City About The Vacant Managers Job. But maybe not hey
Tilley Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 I don't care as long as its not John Gregory! I do care, But I don't want it to be John Gregory,
Asha Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 Hopefully, later, there will be the SSN ticker,MK Dons Grant Paul Ince Permission To Speak To Leicester City About The Vacant Managers Job. But maybe not hey Would now be a good time to mention that Ince has never managed at this level?
Finchy Posted 9 June 2008 Posted 9 June 2008 I do care,But I don't want it to be John Gregory, I just can't understand for the life of me why Gregory would even be considered! It just doesn't make sense.
