    I was listening to an interview with "Super Mac" Malcom MacDonald ex Newcastle & Arsenal goal machine. He started his career at Luton Town as a full back ! One game the manager Alec Stock was short of any striking option due to injuries. So he asked MacDonald to play striker the rest is history. Is it beyond the tactical inventiveness of Bowyer to try to solve the lack of "physical presence" up front by playing a defender or midfield up as the target alongside the hapless Doyle ?. Seems so ?

    But has been said before most of the players we have now will still be here at the start of next season because they wouldn't be able to give them away after this seasons performances so we will still be stuck at square 1

    That’s not what has been implied in the press recently

    I can't understand why people always believe what is posted in the press when we know too well most of it is to appease the fans at the time.

    Most of the players will be gone in my opinion, contracted or otherwise. I suspect Bowyer will have requested this and Rupp given the go ahead, otherwise I doubt Bowyer would be interested in stopping without reassurance that he can completely rebuild the squad

    Wasn't this said at the time hopkin took over? Nobody outside the club knows what's been agreed.
    We have been told by the club on numerous occasions they are ready to get dealings done as soon as the transfer windows open only to make panic signings 48 hours before it close waste loads of money and then start rolling excuses out.

    I bet you those 4 who have voted for evans would only offer "he shouts a lot" as a reason to hire him.

    Malcom Maconald for a big lad he had pace and physical presence, I remember Steve Ingle doing a similar job at Valley Parade obviously not anywhere near Malcom Macdonalds success.
    Ironically my last memories of Macdonald at Luton was a 5 - 0 thumping :(.

    Sounds a man of principle, he walked from Blackpool because he could not get a commitment from Oyston with regards the player budget.

    Really? For me he was in a no lose situation just like he is here.

    However, he's no fool. I hope he has agree a massive playing budget with Rupp and Rhodes because if we don't do well fans will turn on him.

    Remember everything is ok at Bradford City say the board.

    No excuses now!

    Why It must be better for us that the manager for next season is in place now so we’re better prepared

    I bet Bowyer can't bloody wait to shift some of these players.

    Imagine being held responsible for the baggy pants and giant shoe-style defending of O'Connor and NKP. Imagine being held responsible for the 'performances' of Eoin Doyle and a myriad of poorly motivated loannees.

    No thanks.

    Bowyer probably doesn't want a single player we've got, so you cant be too harsh on himls failure to get them going.

    Its an impossible task.

    I believe he felt with the correct financial support he could get Blackpool in with a chance of another promotion this season.
    I'm not up on who Blackpool signed the last closed season but would think the vast majority of Blackpool's players would have been "Bowyer signings", so I believe he had every right to ask for a good player budget last closed season.

    Bowyer said last week that 80% of the Blackpool side that beat us were his signings
