Agree, but in the last place I worked I'd often ask the marketing team why they didn't block people for ridiculous comments and they said that while it was very tempting it doesn't look good and can damage brand reputation. A lot of these social media comments are pathetic and stupid but at the...

I don't really understand how they can block someone who ends a tweet with "bad dickhead", it's hardly the height of intellectual conversation. Without spelling the obvious, surely it's one where you take it on the chin, take the higher ground and ignore, especially if you are a big business...

I think there’s a stark reality that it’s all a bit plodding, slow and lacking aggression and pace. We can’t really play 5-3-2 or 4-4-2.

So I’ll start this by saying I’ve met Simon and had an hour zoom conversation with him in my previous role. He was always very pleasant and really helpful and I could tell he was a genuine Blackpool fan. This is a far cry from the previous lot! We last spoke when we were in the playoffs against...

One of Nixon's pals? 😂

When designing a simple shirt, there is a fine line between doing something minimal and classy and something which is uninspired and bland. This is firmly the latter with some of the finishing touches looking awful. The hideous betting company heightens the mediocrity, it looks like an off the...

If we don't go with black then it won't be authentic to the original 1923 kit and will be just like every kit we've worn since the late 1930s!

Yeah it's cool. Think it's taking inspiration from the 80s casuals movement who were travelling to Italy for European games and coming home with loads of robbed designer gear that the kids in Milan (the paninari) were wearing. Chris became the poster boy for that as he was wearing the same high...

Think it's what their ultra's group is called. Bizarre I know!

Yeah he was, he was doing a DJ set in Moscow. There's another football connection with Chris, Kilmarnock weirdly have a huge banner with an illustration of him and one of their song titles "Paninaro" on it!

I think he might have been at Wembley when we beat Cardiff, and he did make reference to us winning promotion, he genuinely seemed to be chuffed that we were in the Premier League. He's definitely a Gooner though and was closely linked to some of their firms back in the late 80s. Hence why he...

Trafford FC, then equal distance to West Didsbury & Chorlton FC and some club called Manchester United.

The Bass logo on mine is really faded and yet it was still about 300 quid! The sizing is bizarre, a very narrow fitting and really long. I understand why you can't sell it 😁

Think I paid around £300 for my original 3 years ago so I'd expect it to rise yet. Like all vintage shirts, if it was a kids size it would be worth much less than that.

I think the club have supported Jake which ultimately made him comfortable enough to come out. I just think they could have done much more around it to try and educate people more which could help prevent things like the chant which regularly features. I genuinely thought after Jake came out...
