Good win for you. Being new to all this , didnt realise how long it was since you had won in the league. Will keep looking out for the results and reading this board. All the best from Blackpool.

If we go down this season then its 90 million taking into account the parachute payments for next season. Its obscene really. Even with that kind of money behind you , you have to be so careful. So many teams have come up, broke the bank to stay up and nearly ended up bankrupt. Our chairman wont let that happen so Charlie Adam is out biggest earner on something like 10k a week and we wont go above that. In the premiership, its peanuts. We regularly lose out on players to teams in the championship so holloway is doing the job with his hands tied behind his back. The money will secure our future though and we will be using it wisely. Ground improvements, academy , new training ground etc. Shame you didnt get to the Wolves game. Its one of the few weve won at home and we scored one of the goals of the season. Amazing to see Butcher at ICT. I was in Australia a few years ago and he was manager of Sydney. i went to one of the games. Is he well liked there?

Gilks broke his kneecap which was pretty nasty but is due back soon. Although im more Scottish than he is! The EPL has been like a fairy tale for us but were starting to struggle badly. We have the lowest budget by a mile and its starting to take its toll. We just cant compete financially with the other teams. We still might stay up but it will probably get us next season. We will go down fighting though , we just attack and attack and dont know how to defend. The turning point was Man Utd at home. We were winning 2-0 with 20 mins to go and ended up losing 3-2. We've never really recovered from that.

Hi Im a Blackpool fan and couldnt stomach watching MOTD highlights last night of us losing again at Everton. I needed a fix of football so for some reason i ended up watching Scottish cup Football highlights on BBC Scotland, despite never having much interest in football north of the border. I have to say i really enjoyed it. All the matches were very watchable but what caught my eye was your match and your team. You were really entertaining, played some good football and scored some very well worked goals. I'll definately look out for your results in the future. Great draw for you in the next round. Good Luck
