Ince returns to MK Dons hotseat
Paul Ince has returned to MK Dons for his second spell as manager on a two-year contract - little more than a year after leaving for Blackburn.

The former Manchester United and England midfielder has signed up with the Buckinghamshire club until June 2012 and he will be hoping he repeat the success of his previous one-year spell where he led them to the League Two title as well as the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
The 41-year-old then moved to Blackburn where he experienced a turbulent six months in charge of the Premier League club and he was sacked after winning just six games to be replaced by Sam Allardyce.
Ince will replace Roberto Di Matteo who left to join West Brom earlier this week and he will be looking to guide the side into the Championship after they lost in the play-offs last season.
Chairman Pete Winkelman told the club's official website: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to bring Paul back to Milton Keynes.
"He enjoyed incredible success during his first spell with us and showed himself more than worthy of a shot at the Premier League.
"But we always felt he had unfinished business here and it feels absolutely right that he should return to the club and build on the very momentum he helped to create."

"Good idea Mr Ince. Do more with them, gain confidence all round and learn how to speak with a bit of cetainty too. I am one West Ham fan who doesn't bear a grudge. Good luck."

"this is so flipping funny...do you think he'll sign Fowler and Andrews again?"
rwd5035 (Tottenham Hotspur fan)
"MK Dons will get promoted to the Championship next season. Ince has a good handle on the lower leagues. He'll be a Premier League manager in a few seasons, he just wasn't ready for the big show yet. Maybe he will in a few years."

"It'll do him good! He has the potential to be a great managaer, but he's got to work his way to the top..."
