We are always outplayed in midfield, we always look outnumbered, and nobody shows for the ball ... so after a panicky bit of passing around at the back, whilst the fans hold their breath, it gets passed back to Grimmy or Hubby for a 40-yard hoof up field. Great tactics and coaching Neil! I'd...

Prem is boring ... and aside from the big games, who the fcuk wants to watch Bournemouth v Brentford, unless you come from there? 5 or 6 Harlem Globetrotter teams and others trying to nick points off them. Dull as fcuk. The relegation fight is far more interesting. Wish Pep would become England...

They do fill their stadium, but the population of Ipswich is smaller than Blackpool. Yes, they have a huge rural area to add to the town, but then so do Blackpool - the whole Fylde and up to Lancaster. BFC needs to go on a charm offensive - encouraging people to support BFC and have a Prem team...

Weird thing is for someone who lives in the cut and thrust of high-risk finance, he's extremely risk averse when it comes to BFC. Or maybe sticking with a manager who picks the wrong players, then plays them out of position, lacks motivational skills, and has poor tactical awareness - is high risk.

For those unable to read the article, here's another report covering the same ... https://fortune.com/europe/2024/05/10/simon-sadler-segantii-hedge-fund-4-8-billion-blackpool-fc-charges-hong-kong/

Control & plus key enlarges it. It's a photo, so a bit blurry - Google it if you can't read the detail.,

With NC it's all charisma. Der, err, yeah, yu know, did you know that I've had a personality by-pass? Sign some decent players, go back to 442 and prove us wrong next season Neil - 'cos I doubt you're moving on.

I like him. Hard as nails and gives 100%. Back four or midfield - he's versatile. Needs to be part of a team with talented footballers. He'll rough them up, win the ball and give it to lads who can play the piano. Problem at BFC - he's with too many duffers.

Maybe our main offensive tactic of a long ball from Hubby up to our big target man Lavery (who then loses it) will be a thing of the past.

The squad's ok - nothing great, and there are some very weak players in there. Our passing has been woeful, never anybody showing for the ball, panicky defending, and mostly toothless in attack when Rhodes wasn't playing. Makes you wonder what they worked on in training. Coaching, set-up, team...

That's it in a nutshell Chunky. An impact sub, a weapon - a one-trick pony. I'd start the tea lady ahead of him.

Do local rivals really want their neighbours in a different league ... really ... after all the jibes have gone cold? Liverpool wouldn't play Everton, Man City wouldn't play Man Utd, Rangers wouldn't play Celtic, Sheff Utd don't play Sheff Wed ... and the big one, we don't play PNE. Reckon it's...

Lots of coaching badges mean very little. The best managers (or coaches) have an intuition and an instinct about players and formation - not to mention player motivation. Just look at the way Pep does it. Animated, passionate, loves his players, and gets results. Then look at NC - probably...

We've rarely lost a game when we've looked the better team. We've rarely won a game when we've looked the better team. Sadler ... go figure.

Charlie, Dobbie, and Steve Thompson. Gotta be better than the current shit show. Won't happen. We all know we're stuck with thicko Critchley for the foreseeable.

Beyond belief isn't it. Has been for a few years. The lad tries but just isn't good enough. He's not the only one either

Jeezus it's shite. Reading look so much better than us. Keystone Cops defending.

I get JG coming on, but Virtue?

Had time to take a touch first too
