    No chance. Why would he drop down a division? Blackpool are promotion hopefuls and he is their captain.

    Bigger club
    Last move
    Last challenge
    Working with Bowyer again
    Chance to be a coach

    Five reasons right there.

    Blackpool won't go up,

    Will cost a fee
    They are the league above
    Better clubs than ours would be in for him
    He is 30, wouldn't be his last move. See Vaughan and Donaldson.
    They are a bigger club
    Blackpool is in the north west

    6 right back at ya...

    On what grounds are we a bigger club? They have a richer history and have done far better than us the last decade.

    Unless Blackpool are forcing him out, Fordy is living in a dream world.

    The facts suggest so. Our attendances mean zilch yet some fans use as s barometer to gage our club size. If anything it is detrimental.

    Similar kind of honours regardless of fan base.

    Without studying Blackpools glorious history I would have thought the honours would be very similar - Premiership, lower leagues, FA Cup win. League position means very little if you aren't winning anything.

    We have more fans but they have more social media fans. Excellent.

    For me, City are a big Club.
    Being born and bred just 250 yards away - There was never going to be anyone else :)
    For over 50 years I've watched my Club grow steadily, and plenty of memories too.

    FWIW ........ My footballing interest is 10% spread evenly across the football globe, from grass roots to international level - The other 90% is very much just BCAFC.

    Surely a ‘big club’ is determined by the operation of the club? The Operating Income and market value of the club should be the only real indicators? Forget false attendance figures for both these clubs, i.e. ours is swollen due to cheap ticket prices, whereas Pool’s is down due to poor ownership. We saw what happened to our attendances under Rahic and they had far worse for longer.
