Moral of Britain's Got Talent is train your dog to run around a stage, win £250k and appear before the Queen! (bet KOKO is already in training!). Oh and can't abide Walliams, Cowell or the two soppy women in between! |

I have become so disenchanted with what was the beautiful game - usually at this point I'd be scouring newspapers for transfer news, gossip and looking ahead to the release of the fixtures in a few weeks but a combination of greed, average footballers and KOKO has killed it for me. Not sure what it will take to get it back to be honest. |

Will do a decent job for them - in my opinion better than Tom Aldred! |
| Forum Reply | Another crap week at Blackpool FC at 08:52 30 May 2015
Was a make or break week for me last week - had KO appointed after the Bank Holiday weekend and the new man come in and hit the ground running then we could have started to believe. As it is I'd say we're worse off because it looks to me like managers are clearly not accepting KO's terms and conditions and he'll be forced to employ a not very good yes man and we'll be right back where we started .. pathetic! |

Despite Clark being a Grade One numpty, to have put up with all the shit he did this year and still leave at the end of it despite formulating a plan of action, finding targets and sorting out the retained list and pre-season, something must have tipped him over the edge and I wouldn't be surprised if Hodder has hit the nail on the head and actually KOKO hasn't learnt anything from this season and was happy to see us return to pre-season with a handful of players. |

The idea that anyone would come in a buy a club where the only revenue stream is tickets and those tickets have already been sold 12 months in advance is laughable! |

So is King Rat Karl up to his old tricks and sending a smokescreen in our direction with all this talk of a bid or is VB being a prat and not helping us to get rid? A damning statement from Mr B would soon sort this messily and am sure most fans await that statement with relish!! |

Always liked him as a manager, says the right things, plays the right way and just seems a nice guy. Hope he does well in the Prem as the boss of everyone's new favourite seaside town club!!

| Forum Reply | Fans Parliament at 13:27 24 May 2015
Just wondering if any of the great or good on here have put their names forward or whether there is a general consensus to give it a wide berth. I have too much going on in my life to get involved to the degree that they want - I did the fans panel for the Gazette one year and that was as much commitment as I can take. So anyone put their name forward yet or is there a general feeling that this would be somewhat of a poison chalice. |
| Forum Reply | Would Richie Kyle make a good manager? at 06:39 22 May 2015
Seems he's thrown his hat in the ring ..... Youth team boss Richie Kyle has emerged as the frontrunner to become Blackpool’s new manager after being persuaded to apply for the post. The former Everton and Blackburn academy coach has been credited with an upturn in fortunes of the club’s teenage sides since moving to Bloomfield Road two years ago. Sportsmail understands that Kyle had reservations about throwing his name into the ring but was talked into applying, having an interview with chairman Karl Oyston. He is highly thought of at Bloomfield Road and has held first-term responsibilities. Kyle has been influential in bringing through two talents, Dom Telford and Mark Waddington, who look set to join Premier League Stoke City this summer. Other prospects Henry Cameron and Harrison McGahey made senior debuts after working with Kyle. McGahey opted for a move to Sheffield United this time last year. It is a sign of how much the club wanted to keep Kyle that he remained despite a flurry of managerial change on the Fylde Coast over the last two-and-a-half seasons. Since Ian Holloway departed for Crystal Palace in November 2012, Blackpool have been through Michael Appleton, Paul Ince, Barry Ferguson, Jose Riga and Lee Clark. The latter tendered his resignation after a humiliating relegation to League One this season. Blackpool were rock bottom of the Championship for the entire campaign, finishing on a measly 25 points - the joint worst in the division’s history. Their final game of the season was abandoned after tens of supporters flooded the pitch and stage a sit-in protest at the ownership of the Oyston family - something the club has been charged for. Clark lifted the lid on his time at the club in an interview with the Guardian on Thursday. ‘The atmosphere that day just showed the disconnect that existed between everyone at the football club: the main stakeholders, the team, the fans, the directors,’ he said. ‘It was tougher than I had seen looking in. A lot of little things that would normally make a club run smoothly made things very, very tough for us. We lost a kit man and he wasn’t replaced. Lee Clark resigned at Blackpool after guiding the club to a measly 25 points this term in the Championship ‘There were issues with player registrations, travel, accommodation. It is just about getting things done in a proper manner. There always seemed to be something happening that could be prevented, something that would create a negative. As a football manager, they were things I didn’t expect to have to deal with. ‘I wanted recruitment put in place early. What happened at the club was making things even harder — I was going the length and breadth of the UK trying to convince players because they saw negative stories.’ Kyle was a PE teacher at Liverpool’s Archbishop Beck Catholic High School until 2013 after graduating from John Moores University in the city six years before. |
| Forum Reply | Richie Kyle .. Odds On? at 06:35 22 May 2015
Interesting how there seems to be a bit of momentum behind the possibility of Kyle becoming involved in some way. If he had a good Director of Football (a Tony Parkes character) alongside him then why not. He clearly has an eye for young talent, has transformed our youth team and I've spoken to a few people who have said he will be a top notch manager. Nothing is expected of us next season and so I wouldn't be averse to the appointment. |
