Thanks Insider appreciate the nice comments

I hope Mr Sadler will be reading this, I'm sure he will be from everything i know about him, maybe he can give me a call to discuss the things he doesn't agree with, we don't need any SLO to sort

His mate Brett has my number

I think Brett has everyone's number 😁 😉.
 
SS shouldn't need all this explaining to him after all he's a fan at heart. Surely he feels the same things we do and knows what the fan base has been through for many years. Should he really need someone like Raggy to put it into words for him ? Or Phil to write an outstanding post like this for him to get it ?
 
Good post, it's a shame to hear so many kids, the next generation of supporters can't be bothered/ or want to watch games anymore, its week in week out garbage, boring hoof ball. Whilst there has been noticeable progress in the ground and squires gate TG and the development of the academy The playing side it's hard to see any progress, just regression each week as more fans are staying away.

Might be a bit of a long post this as I'm sat on a train

Listening to the Seasider podcast last night got me thinking this morning, so i thought i would share some thoughts based on some of the stuff i heard and read last night on the podcast and also some of the Twitter content I've seen this week

Firstly i thought the podcast was pretty decent, to be honest i don't always listen to it as it comes across a bit dull sometimes with the same blokes saying the same things week in week out, however last night was good

The Raggy speech was fantastic and summed up some of how i feel about the goings on at our club, Andy with his marketing background also made some really good points that i agree with and i urge fans who haven't listened to it to give it a whirl, i think there were less than 200 people watching it last night so not massive numbers

In the words of that tw@t from Dragons Den this is where I'm at

Firstly I'm not anti Simon Sadler, this is something that I've been accused of recently and I'm not. I was actually pleased when he bought the club and I've been supportive and critical in equal measures i think. When he first bought the club he did what i think was right in getting rid of his first manager Grayson and bringing in a fresh faced younger coach in Critchley, it was difficult for NC in the early days and his inexperience showed and it wasn't until he changed his formation and playing style that the results improved. Simon Sadler was also instrumental in this early journey by backing NC in both transfer windows with some really good loans like Ellis Simms and some key experienced players like Kenny Dougal who had been playing at a higher level. We paid money for young hungry players like Marv, Jerry and Keshi who were all key to our promotion. Promotion was very much a joint effort between the owner, board and coach, the fans played a small part as it was mainly during covid but Oxford at home and the win at Wembley were fantastic. ALL LOOKED GOOD ........

We had a feel good factor about the place as the club went into the new Championship season on a high, we made some decent signings but mainly focusing on younger players who had been at bigger clubs, Josh Bowler being the main man and what a delight he was to watch, a couple of decent loans in Ryan Wintle and Djon Sterling but if I'm being honest looking back we were still a little short in key areas. The first half of the season was good, we had some great results and away days and it really felt like the club was aligned with fans buying in to the process, the North stand and the work done by a few individuals to get that stand rocking was something really special, it was probably the most passionate home end in the country.

Then something changed in my opinion around January time, i was a poor transfer window and we looked a bit under cooked in several positions, NC also looked like he had lost his mojo a bit, it was strange as we weren't actually that far from the play off places and the season just fizzled out, losing at PNE was one of the worst performances i can remember for a long time, bizarre post match interviews form NC and club just seemed dead with very little coming from the board or owner

NC left amid some rumours about a lack of backing from the owner and we went into the new season looking miles off, poor marketing from the club at season ticket time and a ludicrous match day price point didn't help the mood. I've also never understood why the club don't do a 12 month direct debit option like other clubs do, Andy and Raggy spoke about this last night. It was a right mess from top to bottom, poor signings, a new old manager in Appleton (who the fans were never going to get behind) and a shed full of loan players it was a cluster fuck of incompetence from top to bottom. We heard very little form the owner whilst the ship was sinking and any feel good factor from the start of the season before had gone. it was like people at the club just weren't @rsed

And so it continued

Relegation was nailed on and McCarthy was probably up there with our worst ever manager and that takes some doing when you consider idiots like Carr, Clark, Hendry and Riga

We still heard very little from the owner unless of course it was the NC welcome back interview or the telling off to fans, NC was always going to divide fans just like the MA appointment its almost like its been done on purpose

This season hasn't been much better than last season and that takes some doing, boring football, poor tactics and players played out of position, losing Yates was a blow as he was the heartbeat of the club, similarly with Dougal and this January transfer window was garbage

The club is just sleep walking again and everything we as a fanbase fought for appears to be lost, the atmosphere at games is poor and some crowds have been really low we as a club have become as dull as dishwater, you only hear from the club when they want something and all this talk of fans parliaments and charters are a complete waste of everybody's time and effort except of course for the 3 FSA people who appear to run BST and their 800 members, they love all this sort of shite

We are a unique fantastic club in the party capital of the UK and when we are all united we are hard to stop, we have a fantastic passionate support that is dwindling and this malaise needs to stop NOW, even my kids aren't that bothered about going to matches, Port Vale and Burton in a week saw to that

I want to hear from Simon Sadler, i want to know what the plan is for the future, i want to know what's happening with the stand and training ground projects, I want to know how the club is going to get back to how it was 2 and a half years ago and i want to know what is going to happen with our current manager who appears to have lost his mojo again' he either needs help or sacking as the whole club is in a steady decline.

I expected better from life long fan Simon Sadler (if some cnut thinks that makes me entitled then so be it its nonsense word used by folk with zero ambition anyway)

Lets get this club back aligned and everyone moving in the same direction it has to come from the top though

Bit wordy Phil. 😉

Spot on tho. I wrote sunmat on Critch's tactics last night and in doing so, read something I'd written in Nov of the first Championship season.

It actually made me surprisingly emotional as it was so positive in its tone about everything to do with the club. It just felt then as if we were getting the most out of what we had.

I honestly don't get what we're doing now. Was saying at work today - we're neither building the next generation of players nor competing.

It's just so average. A bunch of perfectly serviceable but unremarkable players, a lot of whom are in their mid/late 20s and our best two players are on loan.

It just seems so different to the original vision and we've still not really been updated on that properly. I don't need the owner to constantly be commenting on everything but he's obviously got significant influence in what goes on and therefore to expect some kind of communication isn't really that ridiculous.

Thing is, I don't go to fan forums and stuff but whenever Raggy or Tim have told me about when Sadler has actually engaged in such an environment, they've genuinely been positive and said he spoke really well.

Even Karl used to turn up on Radio lancs quite often and do a state of the nation address.

I don't really understand why we've been kind of media managed into a tense silence. 🤷

💯 had the best intentions & was always trying to do what was best for the club and its fans, not himself.

Can’t say that about some of the charlatans we’ve employed who were/are being paid well.
 
Nice one Phil, you're a natural leader. Your passion drives responses through a kind of brand identity.
It's so easy for a guy like SS to call in a reporter / writer to give his thoughts in a 10-minute briefing and circulate to fans - every day or so.
A piece of piss - and then we'd all know the thoughts of the club leadership.
People have criticised me before for wanting to know what's happening.
A club is more than going to a game, it has a life that we all have a stake in.
Ensure fans are briefed, and in the main, they'll stay onside, because everyone's invested and pulling together ... And not trying to rip the club apart.
Keep them in the dark, drop shit on them regularly - they become resentful mushrooms.
Keep going Phil - you're the catalyst.

Totally agree with this. I don’t think the club knows in all honesty. They’ve lost the vision and think the Brannagan failures and Bishop fiasco along with the money involved has left it completely disjointed.

Last summers window where we signed Moffat and Emmerson… this one it’s Sassi… what’s the plan? 12 months later them 2 aren’t doing anything to get close to the 1st team and the latest one is doing a Dev Squad / 1st team split. Apparently we’ve got lots of youth scouts now? Is this the plan? Because we don’t play them when they do well anyway? I’d rather play our own players than loan the likes of Coulson? Don’t get it.

I know you’re big on the Apter one and I am too, but it’s probably better because he’d be misused here and stuck on a pitch like a netball court where he can’t express himself.

Much better to just put it all on Dembele and if that doesn’t work or he’s goosed just whack CJ up (with his back to goal deeming him borderline useless) and bring on Gabriel or Lyons and take Norburn off for Virtue.

We’ve let Dale go and now have zero attacking wide options to change it… and he wasn’t great but at least it was an option.

Dale was variety and I generally felt this year we were better with than without him. He brought a certain indefinable attitude. I agree he lacked pace and his final ball wasn't always great but he just had a certain strut that we lack massively.

The point on young players is problematic in terms of attracting young players. If we never play them, how can we demonstrate to the best prospects a pathway to the first team?

Then, how can we attract the best prospects? Especially when our training facilities are still subpar

We're competing against an industry that is hugely developed in comparison to our set up but 4 years in and no one has remotely troubled the first team for a meaningful game.

It's galling when Port Vale beat us with a 16 year old playing out of his skin and an 18 year old doing a really good job.
 
Good post Phil. I honestly think that Sadler doesn't give a flying fuck about what we as fans think. It feels very much that it's his way or the highway to me. On the football side he's made bad appointments, managerially, incredibly consistently . He must have known that there would be animosity with the appointments of Appleton and Critchley ( second time around) but went ahead with them anyway. His honeymoon period is well gone now and supporters are starting to question his intentions and quite rightly so in my opinion. I usually do all of the games in the south, l went to Exeter this season and that's been it, I've lost interest due to the re appointment of Critchley.

Good points there TD. Young players are more likely to commit to a club where they know they’ll be given a chance. At the moment it’s “Come to Blackpool, we’ll farm you out to a non league club you’ve never heard of”.
 
Lots of fair points Phil but we are not in steady decline, the money put up by SS has on paper provided a very good squad in this league, two players for every position at least. 5 years from rock bottom receivership, FFP also has a bearing in what we can spend. I think we have to cut our owner a bit of slack for what he has provided and achieved in a relative short time. Results on the pitch and a play off push will change the mood, beating Peterborough twice could change our season, that’s down to Critch tho to give his head a wobble tactically and get the players back believing in what we are trying to do.
 
I cannot disagree with any of the OP. Critchley stated the aim was to finish the January window in a stronger position than when it started. I am afraid he got that sadly wrong!
 
Decent post, Phil. Aside for the questionable managment appointments, I think he is missing his mate Brett, or a Sir Jim type character who will tell it as it is and advise him on footballing matters.

And our media department, do we have one? I loved the video they put up of all the fans passion, can't remember the game. Shows they have some talent, but why isn't it used?

Someone above mentioned leadership. Leadership is the highly visible direction and control, and we seem to lack it at board, team and club levels. I read through the fan engagement gubbins, talk about confused mess. It seems to totally miss the basic precept of fans appointing their own representatives at the highest levels. Club appointees all over the place, for those of us with memories, sounds like the FPG all over, and SS is better than that.

SS needs an honest fan mate.
 
Excellent post Phil.
With respect to the owners all Managerial appointments since Holloway left have been uninspiring but to give the gig to a guy on a 4 year contract when he was sacked after 12 games at QPR was a recipe for disaster.
 
Fantastic OP Phil, much more effective than one of your angry rants. Can't disagree with any of it. I have been saying for ages that I don't understand Mr Sadlers attitude to the fans,he doesn't seem to have any understanding of the little frustrations which all add up ie the ridiculous queuing at times, bottle bars not open to relieve the pressure on the main bars,the gate at the North closed even when few away fans,the ridiculous search policy which is so lax anyway you could sneak half a dozen smoke bombs in down your pants should you wish and now comes the ridiculous treatment of Ryan Powell. I am not a fan of his but will support his right to say what he wants within the law.
As others have said the lack of communication is baffling. A weekly statement would take ten minutes to write and would go a long way to keep most people on board.
I have defended the club against the"moaners" for a couple of years but I would find it hard to defend much at the moment. Decisive action is needed.
 
Adams Kebab said:
One thing I forgot to add in, the club have taken the piss with the new “seamless and smooth online season ticket passes”…

Entrance to the ground is now a total chore with long queues (that never happened when it was just cards) and the searches from people in hi-viz who’d struggle to spell cat and dog, asking children to empty their pockets and checking old age pensioners.

It’s a classic example of taking and not delivering and also not understanding the fanbase.

The queue to get in the ground for the Bolton cup game was a joke and we’ve got 1 stand 3/4 full. They should be trying to sort it but instead you’ve got people loving the power for someone carrying a bottle top.

I get we’ve had a couple of issues with throwing things but it’s complete overkill.
Click to expand...
The searches are absolute comedy.

I was bringing a bottle of water into a game the other month, they told me I couldn’t take it in so I replied with ‘I’m diabetic and I need it’ and i just walked through.

The online season tickets are utter comedy though

What a nice post cheers for that
 
This league is shite. I’ve seen enough games at this level over decades to not be ‘entitled’ ….its just fact. This season in this league should be a great opportunity for promotion automatically. Even if we don’t get results, If we can’t play decent attacking football here we never will. The whole club is dull from top to bottom at the moment. There is absolutely zero buzz about anything. And that comes from the very top.

A great OP that nails everything.
 
Cracking OP. If you take the train from Prestatyn to Peterborough I reckon you'll sort out Gaza as well.

On a serious note, the last line "it comes from the top" really resonates. Over to you Mr Sadler
 
Great O/P and has hit the nail on head.

I could tell even from Brazil that there’s been something not right about the club for a couple of years.

There is a particular poster who is conspicuous by his absence from this thread that I have long suspected could indeed be SS.
 
I also find train journeys calming and therapeutic Phil 😁

Good OP 👍

The communication and the NC issues alone could eradicate half of our frustrations if addressed satisfactorily by the club.

The Raggy speech was fantastic and summed up some of how i feel about the goings on at our club, Andy with his marketing background also made some really good points that i agree with and i urge fans who haven't listened to it to give it a whirl, i think there were less than 200 people watching it last night so not massive numbers

In the words of that tw@t from Dragons Den this is where I'm at

Firstly I'm not anti Simon Sadler, this is something that I've been accused of recently and I'm not. I was actually pleased when he bought the club and I've been supportive and critical in equal measures i think. When he first bought the club he did what i think was right in getting rid of his first manager Grayson and bringing in a fresh faced younger coach in Critchley, it was difficult for NC in the early days and his inexperience showed and it wasn't until he changed his formation and playing style that the results improved. Simon Sadler was also instrumental in this early journey by backing NC in both transfer windows with some really good loans like Ellis Simms and some key experienced players like Kenny Dougal who had been playing at a higher level. We paid money for young hungry players like Marv, Jerry and Keshi who were all key to our promotion. Promotion was very much a joint effort between the owner, board and coach, the fans played a small part as it was mainly during covid but Oxford at home and the win at Wembley were fantastic. ALL LOOKED GOOD ........

We had a feel good factor about the place as the club went into the new Championship season on a high, we made some decent signings but mainly focusing on younger players who had been at bigger clubs, Josh Bowler being the main man and what a delight he was to watch, a couple of decent loans in Ryan Wintle and Djon Sterling but if I'm being honest looking back we were still a little short in key areas. The first half of the season was good, we had some great results and away days and it really felt like the club was aligned with fans buying in to the process, the North stand and the work done by a few individuals to get that stand rocking was something really special, it was probably the most passionate home end in the country.

Then something changed in my opinion around January time, i was a poor transfer window and we looked a bit under cooked in several positions, NC also looked like he had lost his mojo a bit, it was strange as we weren't actually that far from the play off places and the season just fizzled out, losing at PNE was one of the worst performances i can remember for a long time, bizarre post match interviews form NC and club just seemed dead with very little coming from the board or owner

He once said it was after his favourite darts player but it could well have another cryptic connotation.

If the weasel was indeed SS then they way he spoke on here means the club is in a dark dark place.

I don't believe for a minute it's SS, that would be madness but it is what I said earlier, the rumour mill will get out of hand and loads of Conspiracy theories will become gospel on here and that is only going to lead to one thing. Why are we starting to unravel again?

I have had contact from the club on a couple of occasions in the last 10 months firstly they wanted to have a video call with me about a comment which was made on here (at the time other supporters were being pulled up over criticism of the club) and another issue where I was threatened with being banned from the club, something that I believe stemmed from a certain poster on here trying to cause trouble. I was able to deal with these and I am not banned but on the second occasion I did say I didn't care. if they banned me as I was pissed off with how the club was behaving.
