Steve McClaren’s resignation from Nottingham Forest could have opened the door for unemployed manager Paul Ince to take his place. The former England midfielder, while admitting that he would talk to any club interested in securing his services, intimated that Forest had all the elements that he was looking for in a professional side.
McClaren resigned from Forest on Sunday October 2, following an embarrassing spell in the league for the side. Ince, on the other hand, has been jobless since April 3, of this year, after coaching Forest’s rivals, Notts County, to a record nine consecutive losses. Those following the Championship football betting will doubtlessly question his credentials.
Forest are currently fourth-bottom in the Championship, with just eight points from ten games. Whether Ince can revitalise the Midlands team is debatable, given his record at County, but the 43-year-old claims that he can instil motivation and “a little bit of passion” in Forest’s younger generation of players. “That’s part of my game”, Ince told Sky Sports.
Ince said that he would be “foolish” not to respond to a job offer from the side if he were to receive one, although the football betting suggests this is unlikely to happen.
“Forest is a fantastic club, […] but the last time I saw, there were about 50,000 applicants [for the job],” he said.
Ince, added that it was a case of having to “wait, and see what happens”.
Forest are believed to be interested in appointing Roy Keane, Steve Cotterill, who is currently managing Portsmouth; Villa’s first-team coach, Kevin MacDonald, or former Barnsley chief, Mark Robins. Stan Collymore is reportedly interested in managing Forest, but, like Paul Ince, the 40-year-old is not an ‘official’ club target.
