As Insider indicates we have a one year option on the lad. Needs to be given a decent chance.

Husband should be retained on a 1+1 contract as club captain and reserve left back/sub. All the others like Virtue, Connolly, Lavery, et al, released. We should be more concerned with shrewd permanent signings than loanees, while giving our own young prospects a fair chance. Apter and Moore for...

The third division has always required big, dominant defenders to act as a rock against opponents while the forward players do their work. When Marv leaves we’ll be challenged in that regard. I’m thinking back to the likes of Sean Dyche and Nicky Law at Cheaterfield who often frustrated us, or...

We don’t sign players like Wintle or Dembele on a permanent anymore - as we once did with, say, Hills or Hoolahan - rather we allow our own prospects to languish on the fringe, then simply leave like Lambert, Thomason and Charles, etc. Will Jack Moore be one of the next to be released in that...

Ask yourselves this question: what sort of absolute dunce would give a headless chicken a 3 year deal?

Steady on, he’s the guru of youth, dontcha know?

For those few on this forum who still don’t know how to read a game, Mark here sums up the glaringly obvious. All at sea in defence. Kick, rush and hope, up front. Remember how well our defence was marshalled when a seasoned, top quality, former defender was coaching them? The three amigos...

If this young fella isn’t given every opportunity and the fullest encouragement to play every week next season, then the supporters should demand to know why.

No matter how minor it may currently be, FTFC is a drain on potential customers, sponsorship and advertising. It challenges our club for local prospects (as does KFC). Our rivalry with PKE is healthy because it puts bums on seats. Our rivalry - such as it is - with the Cods, potentially takes...

Fair point, but as you say generally well-assimilated. Mr Belokon, for example, is an ethnic Russian, but apparently Latvian first. That said, so far at least, the Baltic Russians haven’t suffered eight years of deadly assault as the eastern Ukrainian people did prior to the current war.

The result of that if enacted would simply amount to ethnic cleansing. Similar suggestions are being made right now about the Palestinians in Gaza. Former German leader Merkel has stated that the EU/NATO bloc never had any intention of going ahead with Minsk 2. The Minsk accords would have...

The Russians have no interest in the Baltic states or Finland because the people aren’t Russian. They have an interest in eastern Ukraine because the people are Russian. Thatcher sent her armada to the south Atlantic to free a couple of thousand Brits from Argentine’s junta, but you say that...

Let’s be brutally honest, the whole ‘behind the scenes’ set up is a tragi-comedy. Until that’s remedied we’ll have all the direction of a rudderless boat. I dread to think how this same pantomime is going to fare next season. Maybe like our second season in the Championship? One thing for...

Under a real football manager, Kyle Joseph will excel - especially if paired with a genuinely suitable foil. A young Brian Clough (for one example) would have him England-ready if given the opportunity. That’s a pointer to how bad our club is presently being run.

What we needed was a Shankly or Fergie, what we’ve got is a Reginald Molehusband/Mr Bean.

Blackpool FC currently too inconsistent and too lacking in leadership to achieve anything this season. Changes required, but definitely top down.

…and I bet Charlie will achieve more as a coach than Cheesly.

Cheesley and his crewe have already shown us that they’re not that fussed about Wembley finals.

Is it okay to vote for GO twice?

The better players on the books would all be better still and far more consistent under a coach who was both someone with actual experience as a player and an actual leader of men.
