Ince underlines commitment to Rovers

Manager Paul Ince has insisted he is committed to Blackburn following reports he could be a contender for the Newcastle vacancy.

Ince had stated it was "flattering" to be linked with jobs elsewhere when he spoke at his morning press conference on Friday but that did not halt speculation he could take the St James' Park post.

But Ince has clarified his position on the Newcastle link, and insists he is "very happy" with his current job telling Rovers' official website: "I feel I owe it to the club, the players and the supporters to say that I am very happy at Ewood Park."

He added: "I am only a few weeks into the role and I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. My only focus is Rovers and getting on with the job.

"As I said at our pre-match press conference earlier, I cannot control media speculation."
