Ince Turns Down Cardiff City

Tom Ince had originally agreed personal terms with Cardiff City after Blackpool had accepted a bid for the youngster. Ince has been rumoured with a return to the Premier League for quite some time with Liverpool in the running to re-sign the player they let go two years ago.

Tom and his Father Paul Ince, the current manager of Blackpool gave the following reasoning for his decision. 

“Having agreed a fee with Blackpool FC towards the end of June and with the

player and agent happy with personal terms offered, Blackpool manager and

Thomas’ father Paul confirmed on Friday that, due to the recent birth of Thomas’

first child this week, the player didn’t want to leave his family or the Seasiders at this stage of his life.”

Malkay MacKay seemed to think the move was perfectly in shape and that the deal wasn’t far from being completed.

“I can only say from the chat we had, we had a very amicable, friendly chat and they asked me a lot of questions about where his career could go forward, where I see him in terms of the type of player he is and what’s going on here,” Mackay said.

“He was certainly very impressed by the stadium, training ground and the city in general during our conversation and the plans for Cardiff City going forward.”

Tom Ince is now expected to stay in Blackpool for another season and re-consider his future at the end of the 2013/2014 season.
