At least we know that we won't know for a while.

Still think he would be an immense signing - would probably take him a couple of weeks to get match fit though, like wisey - doubt he has been training since he left Wolves....
Here's to hope!

I hope that the national coverage hasn't given any of the clubs after him at a higher level the idea to offer a coaching role as an incentive.

I hope the thought of persistent harassment from The Adver and BBC Radio Wiltshire doesn't scare him off. I know for a fact that Big Phil was going to be our manager, but Ed Hadwin drove him away.

That could be the case, but perhaps if we offered it him first he may show some preference towards us? Plus the good press we are getting recently could mean we would be a great place for a coach to start out, if we're gonna do well this season it can only bode well for the futures of everyone involved.

Ince's departure from Wolves and subsequent availability was pretty well publicised. With agents involved everyone who was interested would know the score.
I'd guess we aren't the only ones to offer a coaching role and the choice is to play more and work with a mate (us) against play less and earn more (the bigger clubs).

To be fair we did bagsy him, so he should play for us.

so far, the only other offers he's had which have been public knowledge have been from birmingham and west brom.
i'm sure ince still believes he's capable of playing at that level but he's also keen on getting his coaching badges, so perhaps the chance to be a squad member at birmingham or west brom as opposed to a key first team player with us would be an added incentive as it would give him the spare time to work on his coaching badages. obviously both brum & wba would be likely to offer a far better contract than us.
on the other hand, coming to swindon would give him the chance to get far more involved in coaching the first team, he'd be working alongside somebody he is friends with and he'd be a big fish in a small pond in terms of this league as well as getting the chance to play on for a couple of years longer than he might at a higher level.
it's fairly evenly balanced i suppose. i'm trying to think of reasons why we'd be a better option, but it all seems futile as footballers usually seem to choose clubs on the basis of money and we're likely to be far behind in the terms of finances offered to ince than birmingham and west brom :?

To be honest, Im getting a bit fed up of waiting.
He either wants to sign or he doesnt. Seasons starts in less than 48 hours....

so what? he's at a crossroads in his career, if you forgive the horrible analogy. it's a big decision to make and you can't begrudge him a holiday with his kids, it is the summer hols after all.
even if he doesn't sign before the barnet game, there's still 44 league games to go.

He had a major disappointment at Wolves and we can't expect him to make a flash decision to join us. He will need to consider his family along with his footballing decisions.
If this deal comes off then it will be well worth the wait........
