What a mess

I wonder what our owner now thinks? He certainly can't guarantee outcomes but the situation we find ourselves in must be a million miles away from where he and Mansford envisaged.

I dont think its needy of the paying customer to expect either an owner or the 'business manager' to issue some sort of statement. Even it was a universally unpopular one to the effect of Michael is our man no matter where we end up?

'We recognise though that Michael is not every Blackpool fan’s first choice as the next Head Coach. I think that it’s common knowledge that some of us at the Club keep an eye on social media and I must confess to being disappointed at the extent of some of the negativity that I’ve read with regards to Michael’s appointment. Given what this Club went through before I bought it, I’m confounded that some fans go as far to claim that they would consider ripping up or not buying season tickets because they are unhappy with our choice of Head Coach. Whilst I cannot guarantee outcomes, it is my responsibility as custodian of this great Club of ours to ensure that the right decisions are made for the right reasons for both the Club’s present and its future. I will not shirk that responsibility even if said decisions are not universally popular.'
 
I hurt as much as anyone on this site when my beloved Blackpool lose a game after all I have followed this team since 1965 and the club is in my D.N..A. I think that we will survive this season with a decent window and a couple of injuries healed up. I offer Simon Sadler my thanks for his long term committment and the construction of the training ground/medical suites, the stand and the sports village. At the end of the day we do not have the crowds or level of income to compete with the Sunderland's of this world unless Simon is replaced by an Arab potentate or an American billionaire. However if you and your management team actually read rational posts you have made three mistakes. The first was signing Michael and the conflict of interest produced because of his friendship with Ben Mansford Secondly by offering him a four year contract which further highlights the conflict of interest and the poor judgement in signing players like Ward Bridcutt Stewart and Anderson with appalling injury problems. Mistakes are made by all of us Simon and Ben included and these are their mistakes in my humble opinion.
