The Daily Mail are on great form today – their latest exclusive indicates that Paul Ince is fighting off a mutiny down at Ewood Park.
The article describes how the Rovers players have pushed back against Ince’s training methods which, perhaps not surprisingly, differ from those of Mark Hughes. The report also claims that “others have complained that the former Manchester United midfielder is too egotistical”. Well I never.
A “senior player” is also quoted stating his concern on the situation and all-in-all it’s looking like things are far from perfect at Ewood Park leading into the season opener at Everton. Add to this the fact that Rovers have consistently struggled in August over the last five seasons and we have ourselves a clear warning on shipping in the likes of Santa Cruz and Pedersen for the first few games.
