Blackburn Rovers chairman John Williams insists they won't sell David Bentley from under the feet of new manager Paul Ince.

He said: "There is only player who has publicly stated he would like to leave. Mark Hughes had said before, with my support, 'no you can't' to David Bentley.

"We will have to see where Paul is. It is a new regime, a new man.

"He will want to sit down with David, I am sure. What he will get is the same support from me in that arena that Mark did."
