Well,quite a start for Paul Emerson Carlyle Ince hey?

From the Guv'nor (though actually no-one ever really called him that at United, knowing it wound him up even more) to the Gaffer to the Goon in 5 weeks. Or is that just a tiny bit unfair? Actually, it's extremely unfair.

So,the peasants are revolting, saying Ince is not a Premiership manager are they? Well, do you know what? He isn't. It's true. He's not -not yet anyway.

He won't become a Premiership manager until Sat 16th August when the season officially starts.

So, the prejudiced amongst us have already decided he's not as good as the last mob then?

Well, again, they're right. This may be news to them, but isn't it logical to expect that if Ince & his brigade were anything like as good as our friends from the Valleys, they'd have been pushing for their jobs? Yes it is, and no they weren't.

So, our famous board, and in particular our MD & Chairman/CE, so respected by their peers, the fans, in fact everyone that's not in any way biased against 'lil ole Blackburn, those Northern oiks who have over-performed so valiantly & battled against their small-town status so arrogantly against our Big Four & London-centric media, have suddenly become a club in meltdown?

Lost two of their unsung heros, one of which was outed by a certain-myopic Frenchman as a serial diver, the other being a Rovers cast-off. No signings to note, not even Alan Smith nor Wagner Love, so buoyantly announced who couldn't find his way for a medical. An aged Hollywood superstar on growth hormones as a celebrity fan who's best mate is on the board, but lost their Chief Executive under a cloud. A failed planning scheme to take their 'peoples club' out of their city, whilst twinning it with a supermarket as they can't afford to build a new ground. Some European city of culture, two great 'Big 6' sides with no pennies to rub together between them - carry on at this rate and they'll be triple-ground-sharing with Tranmere. Back to Everton-only two flair players of any note, one of them is sniffing his paella already in anticipation of a return home (if he ever gets fit) and the other
