Sheffield Wednesday are ready to trump Cardiff City for Blackpool boss Paul Ince.
Ince is on Cardiff's shortlist to replace the sacked Malky Mackay.
But the Mirror says Wednesday want Ince as their next manager - and hope to tempt him with a large transfer kitty.
Owls chairman Milan Mandaric aims to pull off a double coup by finding fresh investment and persuading the Blackpool chief to join him at their Championship rivals.
Mandaric has been cutting costs and looking for new finance for months - problems that have left Wednesday sitting in the drop zone. But sources close to Mandaric reveal he has found new cash and Ince is who the mystery investors want as manager.
