2-1 Hugill again. Shame he was too crap to play for us

With 4 goals he'd certainly fit in with the rest o our strikers

1 more than Meite over the last 2 years.

Swift is now jinxing WBA! Sort of happy to see the Baggies foul up, esp. if another season in the Championship pushes them over the ffp thresholds.

[Jackson Corner]

Once again it just goes to show that on any given day anyone can beat anyone in the championship. Except us. We play a top half team and we expect to lose and TBF they never let us down.

[YorkshireRoyal99]

I didn't get the issues people would have had with us signing Hugill, he'd have suited how we would have played, given us another attacking option and would have got a few goals for us where we might have needed it as well.

Let the wba fire sale begin

Got pumped from the look of the stats

[YorkshireRoyal99]

Cardiff giving Blackpool an absolute pumping, how we could use something similar today please.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Not a great half with Hudds equalising on half time

[URZZZZ]

I didn't get the issues people would have had with us signing Hugill, he'd have suited how we would have played, given us another attacking option and would have got a few goals for us where we might have needed it as well.

Another striker to aimlessly hoof in the vague direction of? We have four solid options for our ST positions. We shouldn’t lament missing out on a bang average one

Blackpool Football Club can confirm Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor have both left the Club by mutual consent.

With results on the pitch not improving in recent weeks, the decision has been agreed by both parties that a change is needed.

6 of the current bottom 7 have changed manager`s at least once this season, can anyone guess the odd team out?

Yeah though looking at them it’s hardly all worked out a dream for them has it? Esp qpr, Wigan and Blackpool

Is this their third change, so no 4 incoming? Must be a record....can't remember exactly when Critchley left

[Royal_jimmy]

Dai is good at keeping bad managers too long

Superb at appointing them too.

And he sacked the one solid one too soon.

Neil Critchley resigned in June 22 to join Stephen Gerrard at Villa (that went well!), Michael Appleton took over and he left in January to be replaced by Mick so this will be Blackpool’s second change in the course of the season.

"West Bromwich Albion fans' group Action for Albion will stage a protest against owner Guochuan Lai at Monday's Championship home game against QPR.

Fellow supporters are being encouraged to join them in delaying their entry and attendance at The Hawthorns until 12 minutes into the match.

The group argue that figure represents the sum of millions that has been taken out in loans around the club.

We have to act. We have no choice," said protest organiser Ali Jones.

"We had an emergency meeting of the committee and needed something quick and easy.

"People recognise this ownership model is ruining the football club. We have to find a way to show West Brom are in serious trouble. It is that stark."

The £12m figure which the protest is attempting to symbolise includes a £3.7m loan to former owner Jeremy Peace in 2014, that was inherited by Lai that was subject to interest, and is now the subject of legal action.

In addition, Lai borrowed £4.95m and has missed numerous deadlines to repay despite assurances.

It has also been revealed West Brom borrowed £2m from Warmfront Holdings with no explanation why, with the club's latest accounts revealing it was unpaid six months after its due date and was attracting interest of 5% per month.

Further protests are planned before the final home game of the season against Norwich on 29 April.

West Brom's defeat at Rotherham on Friday leaves them 10th in the Championship, five points off the play-off places.

After this season they will not receive parachute payments. In December, the club confirmed it had received a £20m loan from MSD Holdings.

In accounts released this week, it was revealed West Brom are paying 9.75% interest on the loan, in addition to the SONIA [Sterling overnight index average] rate, which takes it to a total of almost 14%.

So they are going to be in deep doo doo next season then......

[AthleticoSpizz]

Just got to hope that we will still be around to benefit from it.

Reckon there must be a few more walking a tightrope this season that will implode before next season starts.

And that is precisely why we need to finish above the water line this season
