Their only target. Should be sorted soon.

Oh do shut up with the Nuttall baiting. A decent coach will bring the best out of him.
Some of our fans are so useless it's untrue.
Dunn is Nuttall's agent.Can you explain how Dunn got money from that deal?
I didn't see a lack of effort from him. Lack of confidence definitely.You don’t need to be coached to put effort in Puma. That’s what annoys people the total disinterest and lack of effort shown throughout the season. I can accept poor players if they at least look like they want to be here and are obviously giving it everything.
If it's 'well known within the club that the Nuttall deal was a swindle' between Grayson and Dunn, and it played a significant factor in Grayson's departure, why would we have given Dunn a job, and why would we then promote him to caretaker after he's supposedly ripped us off?
'Wasn't happy' but Dunn is still on the books? Doesn't add up to me, sorry
But it wasnt Mansfords fault the deal it was the interim board of Bolingbroke and Ben HattonI should have written it as it “became clear “ to SS that DD and SG worked the deal themselves. SS I’m told was more annoyed with BM for authorising it. Nuttall really didn’t want the transfer but DD apparently made his biggest commission as an agent out of it. Which Isn’t really important.
It also led to SS insisting a transfer committee is set up with scouting, management and BM on it.
take it or leave it not fussed either way, but I highly doubt DD will be involved with Blackpool with or without the Barrow interest much longer, I also suspectNuttall maybe moved on. But as I said before. We’re in a really bad situation with him now. No one will be able to afford him and if we loan him we ll still be contributing to a significant part of his wage.
Edit to add I’m not even sure Dunn is still “ on the books”

Scary isnt itJust relaying what I’ve been told.
He must have meant the people on the interim board. He’s not told me anything that hasn’t been untrue.
Edit to add now that you mention that Jonny seems even more realistic that the club have been done over given the expedient nature of things back then.
When my mate who knows saddler told me about this the other day he said “ SS was really annoyed at the deal being signed off (with words to the effect of) those he’d delegated to”. I’ve presumed that was BM but after it was pointed out it couldn’t have been so I got that bit wrong.Rekt. All very plausible.
Edit.
Except for the Mansford anomaly.
Yet they put DD in caretaker charge??
I'm not having any of this.
Again all very plausible.who else was there to take over at the time?
SS apparently has a massive reality check/ shock half way through last season, centred around the travelling, the finances involved and the realistic shape of the club he bought which was far worse than he realised ( playing and back room staff, club management and facilities.
Around the turn of the year it was decided Grayson would need to go, temporarily Squires Gate needed to be upgraded whilst plans for De Veres were started.
Most importantly the managerial search shortly after Grayson departed was really floundering, he held a meeting as a kick up the arse so we didn’t end up with Paul Hurst orHeckingbottom Which we were quiet close to at one point.
Dunn was a necessary remedy during a year of near constant upheaval, necessary at the time.
My overall point was SS was really annoyed at the deal, how lax the club was at the start of his tenure, how he had to work far harder and longer through the season to professionalise the club. I think we’re going to see the benefits of this in the next year to 18 months.
Again all very plausible.
I couldn't help but pick up on what is virtually a throw away remark about the new training ground at De Vere's (Lawson Rd I presume). This is of course the fans favourite bit of speculation for the new site.
Is your comment a bit more informed?
Keep us posted. I hope this is all genuine ITK stuff.
