Paul Ince expects to learn tomorrow if he will be allowed to take the Blackburn Rovers job.

The Sun says Rovers plan to announce Mark Hughes' replacement at the end of the week and want dispensation to give the job to Ince despite his lack of coaching badges.

They feel the precedent set with Glenn Roeder and Gareth Southgate - who were both allowed time to get their badges - will swing the decision in their favour.

And MK Dons boss Ince booked in to watch the second stage of the Welsh FA's A-licence coaching session this week.

He tops a short list including ex-England boss Steve McClaren.
