I really hope SS watches this and that he can understand and address these glaring issues. Perhaps the next managerial appointment should be delegated to the Sporting Director. Thanks Lee for all your hard work in producing these videos. All the best.
Gutted the Seasiders didn't make the playoffs. But you're quite right losing in the playoff final is even more heartbreaking. I haven't got over Blackpool beating us nearly 14 years ago. That was a long drive back to Wales from Wembley. Like you I sometimes wish I'd never gone to a football match, I'd have had a lot less depressing Saturday nights. Take care mate, as I always say at this time of the season, there's always next year. Cardiff Paul.
Yeah there's always next year Paul. Sorry to cause you so much pain 14 years ago and it was nice that you got up anyway and experienced it (even though I don't think it's very enjoyable tbh) All the best to you 👍🏻🍊
Yet we took thousands today and to Wigan, Bolton etc. It's a mental thing for me the players are simply bottle jobs for me. It has been absolutely pathetic at times
Yeah calming down a bit now longneck that was just raw and it was hurting like hell but, I wanted it to be raw because I wanted to show how much it hurt me as much as it did all of you
How can you leave the opposition's top scorer unmarked 5 yards out in the centre of the goal to simply head the cross in. To my mind the main fault lies with Critch. Mystifying that the young striker didn't come on. The commentators irritatingly wrote off our chances as soon as Oxford and Barnsley scored, yet there was always the chance that one goal would change everything until we capitulated. I'm expecting Critch to resign.
I know how you feel Lee as a Coventry City supporter we were so near to the play offs too. Add in the FACup semi final and gutted is an understatement. I thought Blackpool would sneak in but unfortunately not to be. Anyway keep up the good work with your site. All the best.
yeah I imagine the semi final was really hard to take Kevin and I thought that you were going to make the playoffs too. The only thing with getting in the Premier League is it ain't a very good place to be when you do it is so biased toward the BIG CLUBS just nice to get that injection of money if your club are sensible about it. All the best for next season just try and do a bit better against the nobbers for us next season 😉
, agree it's frustrating and your right there was no passion or fight at all on sat, I have followed the pool all over this season and witnessed horrendous performances, but we keep going and one day it will turn around, chin up Lee and sorry to hear about you and Jane, PS if I win the lottery I will fund you for away games next season 👍😂
I enjoyed the game, but I feel your passion and disappointment. We've had lots to moan about in recent seasons. Hope things take a positive turn for both our Clubs.
You most certainly have superroyals, it has sounded dreadful down there. I hope so too best of luck next season hopefully you can all get back to enjoying the football again 🙏
I think he will and unless we sign some exciting players and start preseason off to a flier the season tickets will be way down. Big moment for SS to show some ambition
Super disappointing- you are right about the club being dependent on loans, it was all there waiting for us to seize, but we turned up thinking what team would play in the play offs, rather than playing to get the team into the play offs. I know this sounds counter intuitive but we must stick with both Simon and Critch - we need stabling after the last season with 3 coaches. We did throw this game away but we are a good club, we have a proud history and we will rebuild - keep the faith Lee and once you’ve had a break, looking forward to your coverage next season where we will do it all again. Great season from you Lee. Gracias.
We hung on to beat Fleetwood, Carlisle, and Cambridge,then almost imploded again against Barnsley....the writing was on the wall with his negative tactics.
Hiya Lee, Gaz here, understand your frustration. Roy obviously disillusioned. Hopefully things occur midseason. Do try to chill. Things can change dramatically. My Millwall were plummuring to league one, but our manager Harris turned it around. I remember when Man. City were in 3rd tier, but luckily beat Gills in play-offs then up and up. But yes dangerous comparison cos Blackpool & Millwall not got pots of money. Gaz & gang think your an Ace Blackpool supporter. As does our Frank who's Dutch (the orange again). His first team Feyenoord. His second Wall. Our John supports Wall & Liverpool (his dad's team I think). Roy pure SeasidwrWe're all 100% with you Lee. 100% we be with you next season. All the best Gaz & his gang.

Next season will be much like the last 10 seasons and more……loan players,loan players and more loan players with a sprinkling of kids signed for cheap. Which will translate into the manager saying the same thing after each game…..we are still working on our best line up as we enter January 2025! It will also be more of the same off the field…..A training ground that ends up taking longer than the Pyramids to get built(if it ever does) and an East Stand so temporary they will end up keeping it for another 10 years. Doesn’t this sound and feel like life was under the Oystons?! I do wonder whether the ideal position for Blackpool is League One and nothing higher and that is the sweet spot for whoever the owner is because in order to get anywhere in football you need to invest and spend and this isn’t happening. One for the conspiracy theorists but perhaps the owners target of missing out on the playoffs thus keeping the club in L1 was indeed the target. These days the difference between conspiracy and truth is 6 months anyway. It wouldn’t surprise me. In other words the club just ticks over for the few to make a fortune and that’s it whilst constantly feeding the fans false hope and promises.
It feels very much the same with little or no investment in the team til Belokon came in. He needs to deliver on the stand and the training ground or people will walk away in droves and for me he needs a Belokon
There really is no advancing investment. It is purely a treading water investment. It is sad to see but that must be for a reason. I think the vast majority of us can see that if a push to the Championship was the desire of the ownership, they would have made their plans clear by now. This club is being steered in a circle and is going nowhere. Plans and pretty pictures are great but let’s see the owner put a fork in the ground because ideas and plans are just that….ideas and plans.
Yes at the moment it's still just plans and pretty pictures the fans are getting increasingly restless because since SS said words to the effect that [because of the rising costs involved in building the training ground and the East Stand the funds were limited for team strengthening] we have gone backwards and it's of no surprise really as the proof is on the pitch, we simply aren't good enough. These projects have to start soon surely? 🙏
Okay, so you fell at the last hurdle. But be honest, if Blackpool had won, made it to playoffs and got back into the championship. Do you think that current squad is good enough? Are they fit and ready for an immediate return?
We wouldn't have that squad we are losing a lot of players this summer and the loans go back obvs. so it's a rebuild either way. Would this squad have been good enough as it is? No
@@LeeCharlesTV Wigan are in a similar position. With an eight point deduction and a transfer embargo, Latics had to make do with the youth academy and loan players. The rump of this squad will leave during the Summer and we have to rebuild. However, with the transfer embargo lifted, Latics will be able buy players to strengthen the squad. It is no easy road, many other clubs (including Portsmouth) are in the same position:
Yes it's been horrible seeing what was going on at Wigan. The EFL are a joke they allow these chancers to buy football clubs and then happily fine, hand points deductions out because the people they saw as 'fit and proper' and that they allowed to take over are 'wrong uns' Absolute farce and it ruins the lives of fans, we are glad that you seem to be coming out the other side 🙏
Well you liked better than us so hopefully things are going to be back on the up for you, it does sound like it has been horrendous and we don't like to see it affecting the fans of a club like it clearly was
There's going to be a large churn in personnel over the summer. I doubt Grimshaw, Gabriel, Marv, Virtue, Beesley, and Lavery will play for us again, plus Dembele of course. We may struggle to keep Morgan, but at least have Finnigan, Apter, and maybe Sassi plus Emmerson to come in. Lots of changes to come, which need to happen. It remains to be seen if SS wants to fund such a large overhaul, but decent money was wasted last summer on Norburn and Joseph.
I couldn't believe the seaside army lost their mojo with the news of the goals football is never over til it's over. I imagine what we would have all gone through if we had won and that news came through I would have been going mental!!
@@LeeCharlesTVsomeone senior at the club said we are expected to be challenging in the top half of the Championship in less than three years. Also, SS said if NC didn't get us promoted this season then he'll have to do it the next. Without significant on field investment, none of the above is possible.
Don't get me wrong, I get a lot of the Critchley criticism but who could we get in that would better his 49% win rate since coming back in 2023? Honest question. The players have to take some responsibility.
Yes the players do indeed but to answer your question there's 7 managers who have done better than him this season in this league sp pick one of them 😉
@@LeeCharlesTV They'd need to want to come to Blackpool though. I don't think Critchley will walk unless he gets a better offer from another club. And I can't see the club paying him off to cancel his contract and then pay out for a better manager. Just have to accept he'll be here until at least part of the way into next season.
Blackpool looked like a side who'd been told results were against them. You started well enough, getting the goal, but then sat a bit too deep. 2nd half though...I can recall a Reading match back in '89. Last day away at Chesterfield, and Chesterfield had to win to stay up, and hope other results went their way. They kept their part of the bargain, leading 2-0 at half time, but someone told them that the others scores weren't panning out, and Reading beat a deflated team 4-2. It looked similar on Saturday.
Hi RevS Yes totally agree and it sounded the same with our fans, the bad news seemed to spread through our away end that results were against us which seemed to translate onto the pitch but we all know football isn't over til it is. So frustrating 🙁 All the best for next season hopefully your ownership problems are now over 🙏
@@LeeCharlesTV It was looking bleak. The guy had folded two other clubs already, and a whistleblower from inside the club had leaked that asset stripping and liquidation was his aim. He also said that specifically named players were being sold without the knowledge of the football staff, which was confirmed and very much put them on the side of the fans. The owner then tried to sell the training ground to Wycombe's owner, specifically arranged so the money would go to him rather than the club, but luckily a planning permission clause scuppered that. A new ownership group has come in, and people have found funds being put in place in such a way to prevent the owner running away with the money. He is facing very serious fraud and embezzlement accusations back in China, accused of stealing hundreds of millions, plus money laundering changes. There have been suggestions that Reading were just a money laundering front, sacking all of the football people and just using agents to buy unsuitable players for high fees, on high salaries, taking cuts from all. Nothing made any sense. Anyway, I always enjoyed my trips to Blackpool, although it helped that my three visits ended in 4-2, 4-0 and 2-0 wins. I really liked the place before the rebuild. I will next be up that way in August for the Rebellion Festival, but won't get along to the ground unless Blackpool play on the Friday night. All the best for next season.
@RevStickleback sounds like an absolute freekin nightmare so glad to hear you have got things sorted. How the heck do these rogues pass the fit and proper person's test it's a bloody joke🤬
Do you know something, we simply didn't deserve it... I've not seen enough good football to warrant being in the play offs to be honest and we would have got battered in the play offs anyway... serious improvement needed
I generally see it as a blessing in disguise. Don't get me wrong I love us to be back in the championship again. But if we got promoted and several players went back to their clubs, we would get demolished in the championship. Time to rebuild I think. UTMP 💪🏻
There was always going to be a rebuild chchedda which ever way it went I never thought that this squad would be good enough if we got back up but hey maybe next season
Hi I was at at Blackpool cricket club yesterday they did have the game on cant say im shocked feel for the fans who travelled sadly this yet another critch car crash, never had believe in bringing him back it is down to the coach and quite clear its not happening you need a break lee, cricth was never the answer never was youre correct the football should be 1st..simon get support bring several other people who help fund the team, the road to nowhere with Mr C. Have a rest Lee, in the close season.
I've said since day one it was bad decision to appoint Critchley and I'm proved right I just don't want to watch the inept away performances time and time again rinse and repeat
If we do I hope he realises that setting up away not to lose and consistently losing is far worse than giving it a go and losing and maybe if he sets up to win away from home like he does at home may actually bring him and us a bit more success next season. If he stays here's hoping 🙏
Surprised about the levels of negativity. We where relegated last season this was a rebuild with critchley coming back. Sadler is worth something in the region of 300 to 500 million hes probably sunk 10% of that into the club to sort out debts a broken stadium and investing in a new training ground and stadium. Hes invested in the playing staff and community. This is a passion project for him certainly not a money making scheme. We would be no where with out his investment. Hes bank rolling the club at a loss every year. I think the players and manager I've done a good job this year and I'm greatful the clubs in the hands in a owner who cares about the area. Crazy levels of negativity on here. I remember the fans having to to raise money to buy a player in 1992/93. Surley things have never been better!
Yesterday hurt like a MOFO Paul would you prefer me to be all chirpy because we had to chip in for Andy Watson 30 years ago? All that's history the Os are history and whether he's pumping in God knows what or gosh knows what he is worth the most important thing is getting the football right and these last 2 years he isn't. I'm allowed to be angry, I'm allowed to feel let down and I'm allowed to be totally pished off with that performance yesterday No matter how much he's spending, no matter how much the Os were cahunts If you don't feel as upset or pished off as me then that's up to you. This is my reaction to the heartbreak of yesterday nothing more
No problem with that Lee. I get the disappointment. But the future is tangerine 🍊 though! New East stand and training ground on way and I reckon a decent season on the horizon. Maybe I'm nave but got a feeling things are going to work out well. Hope you keep up the channel. Struggle to get to the games these day enjoy the content. Ps well done on remembering Andy Watson I couldn't remember his name. When I think of the name Andy I always think of the legendary Andy Garner! Oooooo Andy Garner!
Not just Andy Watson...'Andy Watson Superstar' Don't worry I've calmed down a bit today and consoling myself with the thought of the money I'm saving in not getting to Wembley. The late goal for Northampton was hard to take like a dagger to the heart. I hope you're right 🙏
Seventh out of twenty four. Seems pretty good to me after the wreckage of last year, Maybe time to get rid of the manager and bring back a McCarthy or some or some other saviour! Kidding eh!!! Maybe give this manager some ‘genuine’ support next year and watch them go!
@@LeeCharlesTV Remember, we are about ten hours ahead. The last game hadn’t started when I made that comment. OK eighth! And yes performances, losses, promotions, ups and downs over the years, matter very much! The sorrow of 1951 and the absolute joy of 1953! Right from my school days and that’s over seventy years ago. Through the times of, Harry Johnston, Stan Matthews, ( The greatest footballer of his era) Stan Mortensen, Jimmy Armfield, Alan Ball, I remember when football teams weren’t 20 big companies who bought the elite employees and paid them exorbitant amounts to succeed. Would you really like the Saudis to come in with a billion dollars and take over Blackpool? Sure they would be a Premier league team, Maybe European. But would they still be Blackpool? They will get back to the Second division , (Championship, em! if you like) within a couple of years and, I believe that is the best league in the world. I’ve known the very highs and the very lows and, saw most of those blokes actually play. You don’t have anything to explain to me. Regards Stu.
Hi Stu I never saw those great days. My days have mostly been disappointment, endless years of scrattimg around in the 3rd and 4th division. The good times for me started in 2000 - 2010 and the best time was when Valeri Belokon came in and said I'll get you in the Premier League in 5 yesrs' No I've never said that I would want Saudi owners but I'd love another Valeri (someone with ambition desire passion and the dream) to come in and help push the football forward if SS can't afford to
Lads bottled it soon as seemed to realise results was going the wrong way. Not mentally strong enough. Some crap ref calls BUT still, play the full 90 like we still in it and come full time we would have been through, maybe not gone up but hey ho.
@LeeCharlesTV we will see but we will lose half of the squad so need to rebuild come on the pool atleast I got another away day I can go to at Mansfield Town next season
I really hope SS watches this and that he can understand and address these glaring issues. Perhaps the next managerial appointment should be delegated to the Sporting Director. Thanks Lee for all your hard work in producing these videos. All the best.
Gutted the Seasiders didn't make the playoffs. But you're quite right losing in the playoff final is even more heartbreaking. I haven't got over Blackpool beating us nearly 14 years ago.

I generally see it as a blessing in disguise. Don't get me wrong I love us to be back in the championship again. But if we got promoted and several players went back to their clubs, we would get demolished in the championship. Time to rebuild I think. UTMP 💪🏻
There was always going to be a rebuild chchedda which ever way it went I never thought that this squad would be good enough if we got back up but hey maybe next season
Hi I was at at Blackpool cricket club yesterday they did have the game on cant say im shocked feel for the fans who travelled sadly this yet another critch car crash, never had believe in bringing him back it is down to the coach and quite clear its not happening you need a break lee, cricth was never the answer never was youre correct the football should be 1st..simon get support bring several other people who help fund the team, the road to nowhere with Mr C. Have a rest Lee, in the close season.
I am going to have a rest Paul...erm that is until England put me through the mill again 😕
Still think we need to keep critch just let some of the players go. We was definitely not ready for the playoffs
Yep simply not good enough but for me everything today was what has been and is wrong with Neil Critchley in my eyes
I've said since day one it was bad decision to appoint Critchley and I'm proved right I just don't want to watch the inept away performances time and time again rinse and repeat
Yes many said the same. I believed he would be great but he slowly kicked the hope out of me and today was the straw
Hope over reality,,,,,the story of a Blackpool fan, I wouldn’t have it any other way 😂😂
I would
Are you and Jane still together
Not as a couple sadly 😪 she has 'changed'
Are we really going to keep Critchley next season ?? He's scared of losing fucking useless
If we do I hope he realises that setting up away not to lose and consistently losing is far worse than giving it a go and losing and maybe if he sets up to win away from home like he does at home may actually bring him and us a bit more success next season.
If he stays here's hoping 🙏
See you next season now we are down huddersfield town with a little help from officials.
Disappointed for you bobbo but we loved our trip to Huddersfield and it's not too far to travel
@@LeeCharlesTV lunch at Royal and ancient 😋
Ooh yeah the food there was amazing 😁👍🏻
Surprised about the levels of negativity. We where relegated last season this was a rebuild with critchley coming back. Sadler is worth something in the region of 300 to 500 million hes probably sunk 10% of that into the club to sort out debts a broken stadium and investing in a new training ground and stadium. Hes invested in the playing staff and community. This is a passion project for him certainly not a money making scheme. We would be no where with out his investment. Hes bank rolling the club at a loss every year. I think the players and manager I've done a good job this year and I'm greatful the clubs in the hands in a owner who cares about the area. Crazy levels of negativity on here. I remember the fans having to to raise money to buy a player in 1992/93. Surley things have never been better!
Yesterday hurt like a MOFO Paul would you prefer me to be all chirpy because we had to chip in for Andy Watson 30 years ago?
All that's history the Os are history and whether he's pumping in God knows what or gosh knows what he is worth the most important thing is getting the football right and these last 2 years he isn't.
I'm allowed to be angry, I'm allowed to feel let down and I'm allowed to be totally pished off with that performance yesterday
No matter how much he's spending, no matter how much the Os were cahunts
If you don't feel as upset or pished off as me then that's up to you.
This is my reaction to the heartbreak of yesterday nothing more
No problem with that Lee. I get the disappointment. But the future is tangerine 🍊 though! New East stand and training ground on way and I reckon a decent season on the horizon. Maybe I'm nave but got a feeling things are going to work out well. Hope you keep up the channel. Struggle to get to the games these day enjoy the content. Ps well done on remembering Andy Watson I couldn't remember his name. When I think of the name Andy I always think of the legendary Andy Garner! Oooooo Andy Garner!
Not just Andy Watson...'Andy Watson Superstar'
Don't worry I've calmed down a bit today and consoling myself with the thought of the money I'm saving in not getting to Wembley.
The late goal for Northampton was hard to take like a dagger to the heart.
I hope you're right 🙏
The fact that the players avoided NC at the end clapping the fans was telling, they wanted to avoid the Boos directed at this awful manager !!
I do hope they were more embarrassed by the way they played and let all those fans who travelled to support them down
If critchley stays season tickets will drop
I believe they will unless something seriously e voting happens with recruitment and I don't have any faith that it will sadly
Nice steam Lee
Not me at my best tbh Rosie I'm too angry but thanks 🙂👍🏻
Seventh out of twenty four. Seems pretty good to me after the wreckage of last year, Maybe time to get rid of the manager and bring back a McCarthy or some or some other saviour! Kidding eh!!! Maybe give this manager some ‘genuine’ support next year and watch them go!
8th Stu...if that performance and defeat didn't hurt you like it did me then I don't really know what to say tbh.
I'm not sure that he will sadly
@@LeeCharlesTV Remember, we are about ten hours ahead. The last game hadn’t started when I made that comment. OK eighth! And yes performances, losses, promotions, ups and downs over the years, matter very much! The sorrow of 1951 and the absolute joy of 1953! Right from my school days and that’s over seventy years ago. Through the times of, Harry Johnston, Stan Matthews, ( The greatest footballer of his era) Stan Mortensen, Jimmy Armfield, Alan Ball, I remember when football teams weren’t 20 big companies who bought the elite employees and paid them exorbitant amounts to succeed. Would you really like the Saudis to come in with a billion dollars and take over Blackpool? Sure they would be a Premier league team, Maybe European. But would they still be Blackpool? They will get back to the Second division , (Championship, em! if you like) within a couple of years and, I believe that is the best league in the world. I’ve known the very highs and the very lows and, saw most of those blokes actually play. You don’t have anything to explain to me. Regards Stu.
Hi Stu
I never saw those great days. My days have mostly been disappointment, endless years of scrattimg around in the 3rd and 4th division. The good times for me started in 2000 - 2010 and the best time was when Valeri Belokon came in and said I'll get you in the Premier League in 5 yesrs'
No I've never said that I would want Saudi owners but I'd love another Valeri (someone with ambition desire passion and the dream) to come in and help push the football forward if SS can't afford to
Lads bottled it soon as seemed to realise results was going the wrong way. Not mentally strong enough. Some crap ref calls BUT still, play the full 90 like we still in it and come full time we would have been through, maybe not gone up but hey ho.
Yep 100% it ain't ever over til it's over
We lost 8-1 to Crawley
Yikes!! I guess the words simply not good enough apply to MK Dons as well
@@LeeCharlesTV we could be losing our manager
Shame ab the year omg up the pool 😊
yes it was a shame Rory
Surely you realise you were not good over the season.
Shame we couldn't do anything we go again next year come on the pool next year we want to be champions of league 1
Does the owner want it enough? We shall see
@LeeCharlesTV we will see but we will lose half of the squad so need to rebuild come on the pool atleast I got another away day I can go to at Mansfield Town next season
