Paul Ince calls for halt to influx of foreign players as he eyes return to management

Paul Ince has admitted he is saddened by the direction English football is headed and believes there should be a limit to the amount of foreign players in the Premier League.

Ince is keen to get back to work after leaving Blackpool, having previously had spells in charge of Macclesfield, Milton Keynes Dons (twice), Notts County and, in the Premier League, Blackburn. He said: "I have still a lot to learn. But I want to get managing again. But I don't want to keep jumping into fires all the time. I want a chairman who says: 'right here's a three-year plan' and have some stability. "But when I look back, I can't complain, I'm a lucky, lucky man to have won trophies, played at Wembley, played in a World Cup. I'm privileged. "I was the first black England captain. I was the first black Premier League manager. I am a trailblazer for other black people. I'm a pioneer.''
