Earlier today people were criticising the club for not making a statement. This puts the nonsense to bed and lifts the positivity for meCrazy they've had to do this, but still good that they have. Puts all the speculation to bed and now we can get on with worrying about Yates instead.
Well done the club.
Unless Critch has a change of heart and forks off to Saudi next weekAlan Nixon's credibility takes quite a hit with that statement.
He's off thenContrary to claims made by a reporter this morning, Neil Critchley is firmly committed to Blackpool Football Club.
The Club rarely comments on press speculation, but in this instance feels an exception needs to be made. Articles such as this are an example of many in a long list of reports written for the sole purpose of gaining clicks and views, regardless of their accuracy.
Neil Critchley, his staff and the squad are travelling out to Ireland later today to continue their preparations for the upcoming 2023/24 campaign.
Well if they are following him that closely, you never know.
Wouldn't be surprised if Gerrard doesn't last longer than 1 season.Bloody hell I thought I was about to see Critch had moved to Ettifaq FC on a 4 year deal. Glad it’s been put to bed.
I would if it’s what’s been reported.It's great they issued a statement but it doesn't mean he won't bugger off if the money offered is enough.
Why would he go there ,we have sand hills here.Unless Critch has a change of heart and forks off to Saudi next week
They, as you know, don’t usually make statements about anything and this won’t set a precedent. The only reason they have reacted, and quickly, to this is because of the way Critchley buggered of last time. They therefore needed to nip this in the bud, well done BFC.Hopefully this is the last statement the club puts out on bullshit rumours or they'll have to make them everday as the Wums will go into overdrive.
They will have to re group and think of another angle to come back to moan…..OMG What on earth are people on the forum now going to moan about after that club statement now this story has been quashed or has it
Comedy Gold Fella ☝French bloke in the Hanson song, Mbop will all sign for free.
So here we go. Moaners regroupingWould have preferred a statement from Critchley!
Critchley will probably resign tomorrow after thisCrazy they've had to do this, but still good that they have. Puts all the speculation to bed and now we can get on with worrying about Yates instead.
Does Nixon have any credibility to be hit in the first place?Alan Nixon's credibility takes quite a hit with that statement.
No, on here? I can't believe that.Hang on, someone on the original thread swore it was true because he knew a bloke who new Critch. This must mean someone was telling porkies...gasp!
They’ve gone as far as they can .The statement doesn't actually clarify anything though? All it's done is state the obvious.
They've said he's commited (which he will be, until the time comes when he isn't) and that he's going to Ireland (he's head coach, ofcourse he is) but that doesn't really count for anything, ollie left an hour before a match!
There's nothing there that says he hasn't had an approach or that he's turned anything down.
And for what it's worth I am delighted critchleys back as he's the best man for the job, I'm just pointing out I don't think the statement clarifies an awful lot?
