Definitely not a Greer moment. That was pure stupidity on our part for various reasons (as was Paynter going on a free)
I was just teasing... Sorry. |

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.
This. Blackpool spent the most of any club in the close season in L1 so of course they were going to be in the top handful and as for their manager it could have gone either way, after 10 games the Blackpool fans were calling for his head. Yates was never a realistic signing for us despite what many pie in the sky fans thought back then, I still think hes an average/decent L1 striker if played right, 7 of his 21 goals this season have come from penalties IIRC. As for JBZ there is nothing like gloating is there? getting 1 play off winner right, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Maybe go away from the pre season favourites and dabble in taking a risk, Blackpool were 2/1 favourites pre season at one point, hardly a massive coup in suggesting they would do well with a massive budget and a £2m pre season budget for transfers. |

I don't think I recall a single person saying Blackpool would struggle. Methinks JBZ is likely straw-manning (again).
I know I questioned why so many people had them doing as one of the favourites despite having an untried manager in charge, and I'd take the same approach again.

I am sure nobody said they would definately struggle just that we HOPED they would struggle, something that was happening early season. After 7 games they were 2nd bottom with 1 win, after 10 games they had 2 wins and their fans calling for Critchleys dismissal, of which there was a lot of gloating on here definately, but he signed Ellis Sims in January and that gave then a big boost. Fair play to Critchley in getting through the early season crisis, and fair play to Yates for carrying on his form for us the season before, hes a hard worker with pace and mostly decent control, but not entirely convinced in his quality in front of goal, he still gets the ball mixed up between his feet but he has come on really well and fair play to him. |

If anyone should be pissed about Jerry Yates it would be Rovrum.

Unless they have a large sell on clause, which I understand they do. |

11th biggest budget in the league last season according to Jewell! He’s got to be having us on there surely.
