The excrement is about to hit the extractor !!
There are a couple of chaps who have fallen out personally with the chairman and retribution is being reported.
You could not write the script of what is happening at the club.
I think the Senior Seasiders are going to have to severe their links with club unless this resolved.

Blackpool's problems:-
lack of investment in the team
the extraction of £90m of premier league parachute monies
4 managers in last 12 months
only 4-5 players on contracts
most players are short contracts or loans
most loan players are not fit, too old or both
the pitch is like a cabbage patch again
the training facilities are still from the Stanley Matthews era
only 2 of last year's Youth Team were kept on (one then sold to Leeds)
- this is the youth team that won their league and took Liverpool to a semi-final penalty shoot out in the cup
a belligerent chairman who doesn't listen to reasonable advice
crowds fallen to well below 10K
a fairly new ground and stadium that is beginning to fall apart due to lack of maintenance
And that is just for starters, I could go on.

Yeah, bought one on the front there many moons ago. Think I've still got it somewhere. Just needs a new battery.

Greedy, manipulative owners abound throughout the game who do not care for their loyal fan base, Gazza.
It will be a sad day if Jimmy Armfield has to relinquish his BFC contacts. But, he is a patron of Mencap. apparently.
So much for the respect agenda in football.

How long before we're down to Premier A and Premier B leagues, with the rest of football played part-time with north/south divisions? It's coming if you ask me.  |

i read it on bbc sport, and staggeringly, despite all the disgraceful behaviours over the last few years, he's still on the football league board! ...and here's the proof... |

He has apologised but a group called The Tangerine Knights have released further damning texts tonight. They are not going to let it go away. For further information check out the relevant threads:- fansonline.net/blackpool/ |

The club lurches from one crisis to another.
A day in court could prove very interesting.
