Blackburn Rovers chairman John Williams insists no decision has yet been made regarding Paul Ince's future as manager.

Ince is under pressure at Ewood Park after a run of 10 Premier League games without a win has left Rovers in 19th in the table.

Reports have suggested that Ince could be replaced this week, despite only taking charge of Blackburn a few months ago.

Former Rovers boss Graeme Souness is among those to have been linked with the job, if the club's board opt to give Ince the boot.

But Williams says the ex-England captain's fate has yet to be decided as Rovers battle to escape the relegation zone.

"The board will make decisions it feels is in the best interests of the club," Williams told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

Fantastic fans

Rovers lost 3-1 at home to league leaders Liverpool on Saturday and Williams praised the fans for sticking with Ince and the players.

He added: "It could have gone one of two ways on Saturday, but the fans were fantastic and really got behind the team.

"I am not sure who started it. Whether the players' performance lifted the crowd or vice versa, but they were certainly great.

"I don't think anyone could grumble about the crowd's contribution on Saturday, Paul Ince remarked on that to me himself."
