Caldwell has signed a contract extension today so he's not going anywhere
(Cue another 20 game winless run)

They'd have to meet the release clause in his contract, will be intresting to see what they decide to do.

It's been toxic since we lost to Oxford, he shouldn't have been given a reprieve however, the board have stuck by him. The issue now is, can they allow the toxicity that was there today, continue to fester

Not League One but Simpson sacked. Ha, that will teach you to take players from under our nose...

I hadn’t kept up with their results this season, but yeah, I see they’ve had a shit start, having been dicked by a three-goal margin twice already.

So, with the toxic combo of:

1) being last season’s L1 comedy whipping boys
2) shiny big money owners
3) shite start this season

you can kind of see how Simpson’s card was marked.

Monk soon hopefully, bloke's a moron. Not that our squad is any good at all but when you continously don't play your best players and play others out of position then it's only going to end one way. Defeat at Mansfield in two weeks will set the wheels in motion.

I was done with Evatt after the play off final, you can take a loss if you gave it a proper go but not mustering up a shot on target in your biggest game with 40,000 fans all traveling down is unforgivable. I'll be forever grateful of the rebuilding he's done after the admin damage & have supported him for four years but he's the most naive manager I've ever witnessed. He never learns or adapts to anything just sets us up to play this boring, flat, one geared, training drill possession football around the back five which sucks the life of all the fans. Can't remember the last time I've gotten up off my seat from an injection of pace running at a defender or cutting in to get a shot off. He's overcoached & overcomplicated L1 footballers to the point that they've all forgotten what their strengths were as players before joining us. We wont get rid of him though, our owner will just let him piss another three million in Jan & buy him a THIRD assistant manager instead!

Devastated lol. Bizarre appointment but Sadler does it time after time.
Seems to be a mixed reaction on Twitter and your forum but more that it's not Pete Wild or the previous manager more than anything.

Something I didn't have on my 2024 bingo card, seeing Steve Bruce appointed as a manager in league 1. Jesus wept.

Hopefully we get a new Steve Barnes novel about a murder at the Blackpool Tower.

Supposedly he's your sporting director's mate? and he got him the job at Villa and Wednesday?

Bizarre is the correct word. I think his last decent stint was Hull back in 2016, hated everywhere since.

I’m not actually against of the idea of Bruce doing a good job lower in the pyramid it just seems a bizarre match at Blackpool with how they’ve set up and played for so long.

I'm all in favour of the childish nicknames, btw. Need more of it round here, people far too respectful.

A very weird appointment in terms of it being Bruce but if you look at who they've appointed in the last few years, he's quite in keeping with their style of play.

Take Appleton out of it and they've appointed Bowyer, McCarthy, Critchley (twice) and Grayson in the last 10 or so years.

It could be a masterstroke or a disaster. I want us to play in the Championship but the most likely outcome will be you joing us in league 1 . You dirty knobber . I'll see you at Bloomfield next season ;)

We'll see, doubt we'll be in the relegation mix once Heckingbottom has settled in.

Evatt being told to go straight up to the boardroom apparently.

Social media obviously isn't necessarily the best barometer of supporter moods but seeing Evatt, Evans and Ferguson all getting stick on a Saturday evening isn't to be sniffed at.

Evatt needing a police escort to get to his car apparently.

Fans have turned it seems.

Evatt wanted to go alone but GMP said "you can't go out there alone, Ian"

Not surprised to be honest. And once fans have turned, it’s nigh on impossible to win them back.

Evatt has been on a hiding to nothing since the defeat in the playoffs. And their disastrous start this season won't help. I was thinking i'd take a point when we played them and we got 1, but now i'm disappointed we didn't get all 3.
