Paul Ince has left Milton Keynes Dons to take over at Premier League side
Blackburn Rovers. It is a big step up for the former England midfielder, but
unsurprisingly, he is relishing the challenge ahead.

Ince has said that he is excited about the prospect of managing at this level
and you would bet on Blackburn fans being happy to here him sounding
confident. After doing a brilliant job at the MK Dons, Blackburn have backed
him to continue this success as Mark Hughes' successor at Ewood park.

With reference to football betting, I would put money on the fact that Blackburn
will have a good start to the season. I expect Ince's attitude and previous success
to rub off on the players - who will respect what the 40-year-old has achieved in
the game. Ince's side are away to Everton in the first game of the Premier League
season
and this will be a tough test of his new side.

If I was to bet on the Premier League, I think that Blackburn will finish inside the
top 10 once more.
This is a good achievement for any side out of the 'big four'. I'd
happily place a football bet on Blackburn finishing above Manchester City - where
Mark Hughes now finds himself.

It will be interesting to see these two Manchester United team-mates go head to head
with their teams. They meet for the first time at Ewood park in December. All the football
odds
in the world will tell you that this will be a feisty affair.
