Blackburn play Tottenham on Sunday and Rovers boss Paul Ince has no doubt Spurs players attitude played a large part in Juande Ramos' downfall. Ince said: "It's a sad indictment really when you think that they are the same players who worked under Ramos.

"I don't care whether you get on with the manager or not or whether you don't like the players. At the end of the day you have to have pride in your own self.

"If you can perform like you can for Harry but can't do it for Ramos then the players have to look at themselves.

"But Harry is a fantastic manager and I'm looking forward to meeting up with him."
