Just been announced on BBC website. He said that he wouldn't walk out on a contract ever again, do quite surprised to see him leave The Tangerines, but best of luck to him.
Disagree Norway. I think it is a bad move for Ollie. Simon Jordan is a turd and I think Ollie will regret leaving Blackpool.
I thought ollie and the tangerines were a good match Be interesting to see how he gets on at Paralysis
One of the 500,001 reasons Freedman left Palace is supposed to be that he was told the club was going to have to sell some of their better players in January.
I live just down the road from Palace and they are still in a financial straightjacket. Ollie will have to put up with seeing Zaha sold and he won't be given too much of that money to spend. I would think he'll use the loan market to maintain their challenge but he's basically moving from one tightwad club to a slightly bigger tightwad club. Outside bet for the play-offs...
Olly left as it meant he can be closer to his family as his 4 girls who are all deaf live miles away so they can go to a school that caters for them. Family always comes first and the opportunity to move closer to your family and to a club that is stable with a very promising future is as good a reason to leave that I can think of. Also Kilburn think about it this way. Yeah those guys were good players (not sure about Iversen though) but look at where they were in the table with them and where they are now. They locked Zaha on a five year deal last season and the owners I believe have said they wont sell for at least £15m which is fair enough considering Oxlade-Chamberlain went for £12m having had less than a single season at League 1. Zaha has had over 100 championship appearences and is now one of the best wingers in the championship. If they can keep it up they might be able to hang on to the likes of Clyne and Moses rather than having to sell them on. As much as some of us might not like it. Palace are a club definitely on the up.
Jordan went years ago Sheff. I would have thought its a side-ways step as Palace are skint but every year he's been complaining about his skin-flint chairman selling his players.
Palace aren't skint! Freedman had money to spend this year but chose not to waste it on players he didnt actually want.
Tbh seems a step down for him, it wasn't too long ago they was plying their trade in the prem, plus palarse don't have much going for them apart from their cheerleaders at half time, the area is ****e and the crumpet is rank from down there, emmmmmmm !
Good luck to Ollie, may he do well. Palace don't look in the best of health economically, I live fairly close to them and the stadium looks like a right tip.
On the basis of what precisely do you make that ridiculous comment about Blackpool's owners? They did n't blow their pot of gold on a bucketload of ****e players. Under the Oystons, Blackpool returned to the First Division/ Premier league have invested in their stadium and club and gave successive managers their full backing for more than the 3 matches which is customary in more civilised footballing parts - like W12 They deserved the success they had. They may not replicate it for a while but then we have not really done any better have we with our revolving door policy.
