Succession

[Cable Cat]

It's clear that Sadler won't bin Critchley however to nip any problems in the bud, why doesn't he bin Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee and start to think about the future. Bowyer, Thompson, McCall and Dobbie could all step up and I believe make a difference. Why employ two iPad holders when he can have experience and football brains offering help.

It would also give Critchley a kick up the bum and it would mean we have a succession plan if we start next season as we did this and need to get shut asap.

In part because they are NC's mates. Part because it would make NC (and SS) look like a failure.

It's beyond me why NC Mk1 needed an exp. No 2 soon after being hired, yet Mk2 didn't? Bizarre.

I don’t think SS is too bothered about Championship football so they will probably stay.

Wages are mad in the Championship.

Disagree on that one. Yes Championship is expensive wage wise, however he can limit that to a degree and offset against the TV revenue.

As a Championship club, there is always the chance of the golden ticket which would change everything. Either SS gets an offer to buy the club at a level to recoup his loss or he gets the Prem money and that would do the same, but retain the club (or sell for even bigger price!)

Or he does what he aimed to do in the first place and make Blackpool a regular feature at the top of the Championship. That'd do me. Yes, I'd be hoping to get into the Prem now and again but I doubt we could ever become stayers, unlike Brentford and Bournemouth.

 

[RambleFan]

For the same reason that Critchley allegedly turned down the chance to have Charlie Adam. Worried that if results went against him we would call for him to take over, the man appears paranoid about sharing any control of team affairs with anyone other than his yes men.

We need a little stability and there are risks involved with ripping things up and starting again. Even if Evatt or Wellens became available it wouldn't necessarily mean instant success. I do think Sadler, Critchley and the recruitment team need to have a re-think about what they want the team to look like and build a squad and style that is a little more attack minded and entertaining. We are just too predictable and therefore quite boring to watch at times.

I hope your right and yes the club would generate more income and be much more valuable.

But did we see real intent to stay up last time or to get promoted this season.

For me, no.

Apologies I’m being negative, SS is going for it next season.

I think money was spent very poorly last time we were there but he stated that the economics were better in the Championship?

So I do think he wants us up there, but I don’t expect him breaking from the £5m loss budget so players sales and clever buys will be critical.

We have to be good in the loan market. Let’s be honest, most of our better players AREN’T ours: Dembele, Coulson, Byers, Rhodes.

Huge rebuild job needed next season

 

[Ghost_of_Max]

I agree with the o/p that whilst better players will help next season undoubtedly the thing that has held us back this year has been the tactics and formations and for that I'd get shut of both assistants and tell Neil he needs help. I hope Sadler watches Tangerine TV when he's not at games and hear how easy it is for the likes of Bowyer and Thommo to see what's going wrong.

I think the paranoia truly set in when Colin Calderwood almost singlehandedly guided the good ship BFC from Div One to the Championship during the period of that never-to-be-forgotten COVID pandemic.

Always found this obsession with assistant coaches completely bizarre.

Realistically you know nothing about their individual roles or how they are viewed by the players, or their particular contributions on the training pitch.

Despite this, you’ve given them degrading nicknames and suggested they should lose their jobs. Why? What is your actual reasoning for this other than some baseless agenda in your head that they are somehow the problem?
