CONFIRMED Retained List

Does he?
I thought he was a Blackpool fan or from Blackpool or something.

Why do North End fans shout kiss the badge to him when he scores?
I can't recall the details but I think koko the clown fucked him over and he went to Morecambe and then to us.

Koko offered Tom a New Contract of £180pw.

Tom was that pissed off it was either Uni or Morecambe where he had enjoyed a loan spell. His told his agent it was Morecambe or Uni. His agent delivered.

Then later on, you have the incident with his Taxi Driver dad who was assaulted whilst working.
 
I think Barky hated the previous regime, not so much the club. Wasn’t he in fact a supporter growing up?

If Blackpool offer him a decent contract and place in the first team, I suspect he’d accept it. No messing around moving and Championship football. It’s about as good as it would get for him.

I actually think they could make a move as a Bowler replacement.
 
I’m sure it’s been picked up already on this thread but our signings last summer were:

Olosunde - Transfer Listed
Wickham - Released
Murphy - Released
Brown - Released
Thomas - Released
Lindsay - Truck
SVDB - Loan and left
Iversen- Loan and left
McCann - Quality

What an utter shambles 😂
Murphy was a loan but played about 47 seconds too, absolute joke and has to improve this summer.

You forget the abuse that Blackpool fans gave him whilst here. Social Media, etc.
 
Three summer transfer windows before we see results? I don't think anyone is willing to wait that long, not even Lowe.
Indeed, summer 2022 (after last January's one), winter 2023, summer 2023, with any positive results or improvements to be apparent by end of season 2023 ...is evidence of a rather benevolent performance to say the least.
 
He was injured almost as soon as he arrived, painstakingly eased back into the first team picture via a bunch of Central League games in Oct-Nov, and only made his debut in Frankie's last game at Rovers, when he looked shagged-out after an hour on a bog of a pitch, and was subbed with an injury long after he should've been replaced.

Some people thought he looked pretty good, others (including me) thought he looked pretty gash.

He played only once for Lowe, replacing Barky in his last game for us, and I think it's fair to say he looked absolutely bloody hopeless.

He played RWB both times.

Since then, nothing - although he wasn't injured the whole time, because he played several more times for the Title-Winning™ Central League team, sometimes in central midfield.

This thread captures most of the "story", and the 2nd link is the MDT of his 2nd/final appearance for us:


Brilliant....... Thanks for that. 👍
 
Even so, writing off next season as yet another transitional season - our third in a row! - I just don't think it's realistic.

Unless Lowe isn't really backed this summer, and only gets 1 or 2 quality signings instead of the 6 he needs.

But if that happens, I'm hoping Lowe will be much more vocal in complaining about it than AN was, and not just e.g. sign a new 3-year deal to keep stumm about it.

I am sure he will sign 2or 3 perm but most will be loans I think

I think Blackpool because he will expect a decent wage
