Ince knew the risks when he took the job.
Bentley was always going to leave - even before Man City came calling for Hughes. The Friedel thing was a huge shock for everyone involved with the club, but once it was explained that Villa would double his wages to 75k p/w, and that Brad needed the money (and help of Randy Lerner) for his US football acadamies, most people simply had to grudgingly respect the fact that a 37y/o would simply never get an offer like this again.
Ince knew what he was getting himself into, but that still hasn't stopped him from making quite elementary mistakes in relation to the appointment of his backroom staff, or his second-rate training methods. I find it quite hard to have sympathy with the man knowing that he's quadrupled his salary joining Rovers, and that he now has access to facilities, resources and a squad that is superior to many clubs, yet seems incapable of evolving his methods to suit those of a Premier League team. He needs to start learning fast.
