    your strategy to convert the not 606 City board is akin to that of your hero... stealth re-branding

    Their new manager, Jose Riga, has only been there 5 weeks and is already threatening to leave.

    As I said, they're absolutely ****ed.

    I hope Football Manager 2015 has Blackpool only having 8 players. Would be a cracking challenge

    Maybe it will be like the movie invincible and they will have local tryouts for the squad

    They only have 8 FIRST TEAM players, I assume they still have their youth teams they can play?

    They could always do what Watford did and loan 12 players.


    I'm so glad that Watford didn't get promoted and it happened in the manner that it did. The way the would have gone up would have been so distasteful and horrible for smaller clubs in the league like Doncaster and Yeovil etc

    Watford calling in favours from a friend and loaning in around 10 players from Udinese a champions league quality side just isn't right and they found a loop hole in the system. Its finically irresponsible because in essence any club could do that and have a team way beyond their means. Fielding a team which is largely not your own is disgraceful. Rant over.


    Feel sorry for Blackpool and hopefully the can get this Ince money soon so they can restructure the club with some signings. How they are going to sign 10 players of some quality is beyond me. Just shows you how being promoted to the Premiership in the long run can really **** you over just like Portsmouth.

    it would appear that Blackpool fan's are not to hopeful that any money they get for Ince, will reach the club at playing level, on a side note the reason they have only 8 pro's,is that at the end of last season the club/chairman, released 25 pro's so they did not have to pay any wages during the close season.

    It's an opportunity for local talent to emerge

    Would you have complained if we had done it? To be fair, almost half our first team that season (Stockdale, Amos, Elmo, Meyler, Brady, Gedo, Boyd, Fathy) were loan signings at some point. I think it was quite a novel idea, they found a loophole and exploited it. If we'd had a link up with, say, Real Madrid or Bayern that season, would you have been annoyed at seeing their B team come here for a season, with the potential of being permanant signings (as Watford did).

    I can't believe trialist 4 wasn't made captain!!! That'll stop him signing up for sure.

    I've just had a look at Sam Oyston's Twitter profile, this spoilt brat lives in another world. If I had a son like that I'd give him a good hiding every morning to last him through the day.
