Exactly thisSimms - deal agreed & chose Sunderland
Cameron - release clause met, assuming he'd have known what wages we were willing to pay before travelling up
Wonder if both of those spoke to Appleton and declined the moves? Can't recall as many issues pre-Appleton (post Koko)
He literally waits for it, it’s concerning.Phil, the only poster on here that gets more excited by failure than success.
Of course we haveAlthough you read this and wonder if we’ve been played is the right call;
Cameron Brannagan signs new Oxford United contract
CAMERON Brannagan has signed a new contract with Oxford United – hours after it appeared he was on his way to Blackpool.www.oxfordmail.co.uk
Do we even have any confirmation that he was actually interested in moving?
It's the oldest trick in the book to force your way into getting a new contract.
Yeah the new £30 million plans in place back your claim up.I take no pleasure in being proved right again cbaps
We are still proper tin pot I'm afraid
Fish and ponds is his limit.Tbh I question the ambition of this lad
Wants to stay in league 1
Come to Blackpool do well and a prem club might come in
He might be happy being a big fish in a small pond
The money that's being paid out on making sure we've got the best qualified football and business people in charge to run the show you'd think one of them would have been perceptive enough to recognise and understand when they're being strung along if that's the case.Do we even have any confirmation that he was actually interested in moving?

whose to say Oxford can’t afford his wages? Do they have tinpot owners?Basically hes been given a contract which Oxford can’t afford, they hope with a long term deal they may get big money soon.
Big gamble as I don’t see any big hitters coming in for him, nobody else triggered the clause, so don’t see that changing any time soon?
Strange as his value will decrease over the next few years?
You need to look at things not being a fan.Sadler said when he took over that he had no idea how to run a football club, which is fair enough so those he employs to do that job need to be top of their game, I’m not sure they are though so he needs to have a serious think about some changes because frankly, our efforts at signing players this summer have been ** embarrassing
Only one I can think of from way back was Matt le Tissier. Plus Brannagan has said on numerous occasions that he's happy at Oxford and wants to stay there. Seems like that might just, rather bizarrely, be the caseWhy? How many of our players would turn down the premier league? That isn’t how it works
Pure conjecture. As they say, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. In this case none of us are privy to what the truth actually is.Simms - deal agreed & chose Sunderland

I hope the owners steps in and solve this issues. Two deal we seen dying.

Some of the above posters really do need to “give their thick heads a good shake”
God ,you don't half talk shite . You rip into Blackpool F.C. in every possible way . All I have heard from the people that matter is good things about Brett and Ben . Our owner , our last manager , our last youth manager. Yet we get a clown like you that comes on here spouting about lack of transfers , poor players we all ready have , having a go at one of our new transfers and now its the backroom staff. Well nobody knows why certain players don't sign ,but what I do know is that it happens at every club and we are not special. Finally I think that you are a bloke that has a sad life and needs to fill it by writing sh't about the club most of us love. Find something else to do or at least write something positive.Is he the problem, is he fit for purpose?
To be honest never really liked him, we don't like agents at Blackpool anyway (I know he's not one these days)
But something doesn't seem right
Anyway his ears are too far apart and them things he looks out of are too close
Send the fcuker back to Barnsley or Israel or Leeds or whatever other fuck ups he's been in charge of
The Blackpool way what the fuck was that all about?
I bet koko is drowing in his own piss right now laughing at us

The news was not that he was signing - that’s media spin - the news was that we had triggered the release clause. No signing was guaranteed , ultimately Brannagan came had a chat and ultimately decided he wanted to stay at Oxford. To me that says:-I've defended the board a fair bit this summer, but I feel like for the first time I'm seriously questioning what's going on. We're becoming a laughing stock and the whole window is turning into a serious mess.
Let's not kid ourselves, things have felt a little toxic for a while, or at least its been simmering. The news today that he was signing gave everyone a lift, but now it's off I think that toxicity will increase more so than what it was before all this.
Not just the playing squad eitherPlays a lot of golf. He’s not particularly popular amongst the playing squad.
Clearly from that it’s not the clubs fault - he was never going to comeAlthough you read this and wonder if we’ve been played is the right call;

It’s mad how people slag Phil off more than pepper at the Club.We’ll never be as big as your ego, that’s for sure.
Might have been an idea to ask before we wasted 3 windows on him thenClearly from that it’s not the clubs fault - he was never going to come
Not naive at all - he came up to talk so clearly gave some degree (and or his agent did) that he wanted to come but ultimately decided to stay we’re here wasMight have been an idea to ask before we wasted 3 windows on him then
Let’s not be so naive eh.
If that’s the case then, our terms must be worse than Oxford and the carrot of Championship football wasn’t enough, which is a problem.Not naive at all - he came up to talk so clearly gave some degree (and or his agent did) that he wanted to come but ultimately decided to stay we’re here was
Absolutely spot on Daz, he came for a chat decided to stay at Oxford and remains a L1 player. It’s his choice and probably agreed a much bigger contract to stay there. He probably never had any intentions to join us otherwise it would have happened so we move on from this saga and get behind the team!The news was not that he was signing - that’s media spin - the news was that we had triggered the release clause. No signing was guaranteed , ultimately Brannagan came had a chat and ultimately decided he wanted to stay at Oxford. To me that says:-
1. He never wanted to really come here just wanted to see what we had to say.
2 He is happy playing league one football and does not have the real ambition to test himself at a higher level,
3. He is settled in Oxford, I never got the feeling even before yesterday he wanted to come - you never felt by his own comments he was pushing for a move in fact quite the opposite he was happy with his lot at Oxford.
4. He played us to get a better deal at Oxford.
So taking all that into account if a player decides in the end to stay where he is what more can the club do! What it does put an end to is this nonsense that we have no money to spend as we clearly do. Not masses of money and to be honest few clubs in the Championship are spending money on transfer fees but money to spend none the less. The club will go after other targets so it’s not the end of the world and to be honest we might look back in time to come and realise we have swerved one here and that was a good thing. Put it to bed move on to other targets who really want to come and see what happens.
Oh this point which is a key one, do you think that the buying Club could have established this one prior to spending 3 transfer windows trying to get himHe probably never had any intentions to join us otherwise it would have happened
Yes!Oh this point which is a key one, do you think that the buying Club could have established this one prior to spending 3 transfer windows trying to get him
Which is why I’m most pissed off I think.Yes!
@Philbfctrois he would sort this shit out for you , passionate about his club and takes no shitI think we need a local in the role, an actual Blackpool fan, someone who can really sell the place, not much point having Sadler as the local community spirited owner when the CEO is an ex agent from Yorkshire. Sit down with any of us lot and we could convince anyone this was the greatest club on the planet, not sure we're getting that from Mansford.
He's had a shocking summer right from Critchley leaving.
If you go back to when this sorry saga began (3 windows) it never felt right as it appeared we were almost begging him to sign for us as if he was the burning martyr! It’s obvious (to me anyway) he didn’t want to come and play for us and I’ve never got that excited about it, so we move on and get the right players in who really want to be here!Which is why I’m most pissed off I think.
Not read all the posts but maybe Brannagan is genuinely happy where he is and has no desire to move unless offered a relatively ridiculous amount of money.
Leave him to it and find somebody who does want to be here would be my advice.
