Well done Blackpool, just shows what 'fan power' can achieve, starve Power out. Oystons paid the price, let's hope Power goes the same way.

Just to think at the start of the season Blackpool were seen as rivals now we're two divisions apart😀

I think some on this forum thought that Blackpool would struggle and that their manager was pretty clueless.

Maybe so, but Rivals...? Back track to last summer through the archives
There is little need, they were never seen as rivals. Anyway, as to not derail the thread any further... Bollocks to Power. |

They've had a few rough years so it's hard to begrudge their success today

After the 3 or 4 games they were struggling and we were top of the league then the rest is history....

...and that Jerry Yates was over rated and not worth spending money on... |

I had Blackpool down as overrated at the start of the season. They started poorly (apart from beating Swindon), appointed Colin Calderwood as assistant head coach and the rest is history...!
As for Jerry Yates: Town's lack of funds, impetus to ensure he was a Town player for 2020-21 is a Gordon Greer moment.

Definitely not a Greer moment. That was pure stupidity on our part for various reasons (as was Paynter going on a free) Yates signing / not signing was impacted by fund & a pandemic. The missed opportunity (imo) was the previous January when we got him back on loan and signed Doyle till the end of the season. We definitely sacrificed anything long term for short term gain. It was the wrong decision. Yates would have been perfectly capable of seeing us over the line in the Central Doyle role with Hope / DJ / Whoever out wide. I mean chances are if we had signed him the previous season we’d have flogged him to Blackpool this January for 50k and a donkey ride but you know... |

It is a bit galling to find an ex-player as a club legend at another club so soon after leaving us. If only we had stable ownership.
