    John O'Kane

    Remember that game well as well. They stuck the Grand National results up on their little scoreboard.

    Squad

    The FL had a policy last season of not releasing these lists, or at least certainly not immediately. I think the lists following the January window were released weeks and weeks after the window had closed, whilst the 'summer' lists were never released.

    John O'Kane

    Worst right back I've seen play for us, and I can remember precisely which game I formed that opinion at: a 1-0 defeat to Notts County in April 2002. I was only 13 at the time, so pre AVFTT!

    John O'Kane

    He was interviewed in The Athletic recently about this. Whilst I have great sympathy for him and respect him for speaking out, let's just say his view on his time at Blackpool wasn't an accurate version of events. He'd have been much better off saying 'I wasn't much cop at Blackpool, and here's...

    O/T Inside the President's War Room

    An excellent watch. 👍 Agree Bush came across OK. Looks to be quite a few 9/11 documentaries on in the coming days.

    Bez is Back!

    Doesn't say which training ground he's at. 🤔

    Our window business

    I think it's been a decent window. Could have been better, could have been worse. We got a lot of business done early, adding depth to the squad without necessarily improving the first XI. As such, we started the season with a few weak links (caused, in part, by injuries too). Certainly not...

    The world (of football) gone completely mad

    Yeah, but we got a little bit lucky there to be honest (and I think there'll come a point where Championship sides suss him out unless he improves his end product, but that's another story) as if Everton had offered him a new deal they'd have been entitled to compensation as he's under 23. And...

    The world (of football) gone completely mad

    I touched on this subject the other day as I think these sort of bids and United signing Varane for c.£50 million (other examples are available) when he had just twelve months left to run on his contract has, potentially, impacted on us this summer. It was clear last summer that we had a model...

    How many places are left in our 25 man squad?

    I'd need to check, but are emergency loan keepers permitted in the Championship?

    How many places are left in our 25 man squad?

    Only if we register him, like Jack Sims last season.

    Deadline Day Thread

    Sorry for the belated reply. Didn't say. Was just informed that another bid had gone in.

    Deadline Day Thread

    I'm hearing there is movement on Brannagan.

    How many places are left in our 25 man squad?

    Two, following this morning's signings. However (and this needs to be double checked) we may need to register someone like Brad Holmes as well to avoid having to have a youngster on the bench.

    Who are we going to sign tomorrow?

    Hopefully this works:

    Another linked signing opts for elsewhere

    There is money there to spend, if the price is right 😉

    Who are we going to sign tomorrow?

    Haha, no worries. What you've posted is correct (in terms of the rules), but after we signed Stuart Moore the club registered Jack Sims in the 25 to enable Moore to be named on the bench. If I get five minutes I'll try and find the snippet where Matt Scrafton confirmed this.

    Who are we going to sign tomorrow?

    If you register an U21 player in the 25 then they count towards the 25. It's what we did with Jack Sims second half of last season to avoid having to have a youngster on the bench/go with six subs.

    Who are we going to sign tomorrow?

    How many spots in our 25 man squad do we currently have available? Well by my reckoning it currently looks like this: 1) Maxwell 2) Grimshaw 3) Moore 4) Garbutt 5) James 6) Husband 7) Gretarsson 8) Ekpiteta 9) Keogh 10) Connolly 11) Dougall 12) Stewart 13) Wintle 14) Mitchell 15) Anderson 16)...

    Who are we going to sign tomorrow?

    What do I expect today? To be honest, I'm not sure. As I've maintained throughout the summer, the money is there if the price is right. As I've also maintained, the lack of movement since our initial flurry of business is little fault of the club - the market has been incredibly slow (and I've...
