In this evening’s late-night preview show, we are taking a look at Saturday's fixture against the Swans and also looking back on the shit show against Barrow as the ‘Pool were dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle. Also looking at the latest news and developments from Bloomfield Road.

Topics

• Barrow in the Carabao Cup
• None of our kids in starting line up?
• First half woeful
• Lavery unlucky or not good enough?
• Dare we speak of CJ again…?
• Ratings or just quick MOM/villain of the match? (Patino not mom!)
• Ticket prices for Burnley away
• Club response (see Sean's article - basically, no parachute money,competing with big clubs and official coaches are cheap)
• Obviously looking to cash in our status as preferred away day. Is away travel going to be in jeopardy as fuel prices and energy prices create cashflow concerns for many? Where does this leave our model?
• Whilst sympathetic to the difficulty of the club competing and wifet rising costs (the club has energy bill too for example) should we not be pressing for reasonable pricing across all football? Which includes our own club… is the bigger picture what counts?
• Keogh has gone to Ipswich.
• Is it good business and a natural end of a great but ultimately aging player or could we have got a year out of him?
• Is it a sign of the manager building *his* dressing room by being keen to move on a major personality in Critch's team?
• Fave Keogh moment/general Keogh appreciation (he deserves it)
• What does this mean for the defence?
• Swansea at home preview
• Previous games (obvs 6-3 but what else?)
• Swan and a Seasider (played for both)
• Will it be as boring as previous Critch v Russell Martin games?
• Sean explains to us stuff that only he knows about Swansea.
• Pick our team
• The great formatiom debate?
• Predictions

Worth talking about pyro bans? Football is keen to cash in on drinking and gamblimg but is taking a draconian approach to fan behaviour. Yes, pyros cleary can impact people with breathing issues but gambling and drinking adverts all over don't help people either…

In this special Extraordinary General Podcast (EGP) we are reacting to the bolt-out-of-the-blue news, that Neil Critchley has left the building, having made the decision to carry Steven Gerard's bags as Aston Villa's assistant manager.

Talking Points

If you’re listening to this, you’ve probably heard the news. Blackpool Football Club has agreed to terms with Aston Villa for Neil Critchley to join them (and Steven Gerrard) as their new assistant manager. It follows Michael Beale vacating that post to become QPR Manager.

1. How are we feeling?

• March interview with the Gazette where he said ‘hopefully there are a few more years to come yet”
• Was the connection with the fans a ploy to get us on his side?
• Mitch on Critch

1. It feels like an odd move - to go from an up-and-coming Championship side to #2 at a mid-table Premier League side. Beale clearly saw the reverse as a step up. Why do we think Neil Critchley has decided to leave the club?

• Is it money for him personally? Better wages?
• Relationship with Gerrard? (The two worked together in LFC’s youth set-up. Gerrard has said he was the “#1 choice” based on their previous work together)
• Is it the supposed lack of transfer budget - dependent on selling Bowler?
• The club is investing off the pitch; so it isn’t like the club is refusing to show ambition.

1. Does moving in this way tarnish Critchley’s legacy?

• Achievements on the pitch
• Any comparison to Holloway?

1. What next for Blackpool football club?

• Presumably, we have compensation given Critchley was under contract to 2025
• What should we be looking for in a new manager?
• Who does this panel feel should get the job?

1. Potential Replacements (ranked by BetVictor favorites)

• Dave Challinor (6/1) - Stockport County
• Michael Appleton (8/1) - just left Lincoln City
• Michael Duff (8/1) - Cheltenham Town
• Leam Richardson (8/1) - Wigan Athletic
• Micky Mellon (10/1) - Tranmere Rovers, formerly Dundee
• Gareth Ainsworth (10/1) - Wycombe Wanderers
• John Coleman (12/1) - Accrington Stanley

1. Takes players from non-league, and now able to perform in League One
2. Lots of experience - but a bit more traditional

• Tony Mowbray (12/1) - just left Blackburn Rovers
• Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank (12/1) - Burton Albion
• Simon Grayson (12/1) - sacked from Fleetwood

Other

• Sean Dyche?
• Surely he’ll sit tight and wait for Steve Bruce to be sacked?
• Liam Manning from MK Dons?
• Ian Evatt?
• Wayne Rooney?
• Michael Carrick?
• Duncan Ferguson?
• Mark Warburton?
• Brian Barry-Murphy (City U23s Manager, formerly at Rochdale)
• Kevin Betsy
