as for thompson he went somewhere and was shipped on sharpish because

 

whoever bought him didn't want him

 

they wanted somebody else

 

whoever had the somebody else wanted thompson

 

deal quickly done

 

clubs were leicester and luton

 

 

redfearn was twice the player thompson was and joyce was just shite

 

nearly as big a tosspot as brown

 

 

I heard Thompson was specifically shipped on because a large chunk of the transfer fee was linked to appearances and, as Luton sold him after only 5 appearances , BWFC never got anything like the money that was reported at the time as the fee. (?180k according to the usual web places / we probably got less than 80 of that in the end)

 

This is not made up.

david pleat wanted scott oakes from leicester

 

thompson was just a bargaining tool

 

pleat never wanted him

My point is that the Wanderers got royally shafted as they had banked on him making the 50 (or whatever the terms were) appearances that would have triggered the balance of the fee.

I blame Megson

Ian Holloway has got the Blackpool managers job, Steve Thompson will be his assistant.

BLACKPOOL FC will unveil Ian Holloway as their next manager today.

And the new man is vowing to take the Seasiders up the Championship.

 

Out of work for the last 12 months since parting company with Leicester City, 46-year-old Holloway was set to be confirmed at a press conference at Bloomfield Road this afternoon.

 

The Gazette understands a last-minute candidate was interviewed for the job left vacant after Tony Parkes quit.

 

But the mystery man was discounted yesterday, leaving the Seasiders with a straight choice between their top two men – Holloway and Alan Knill.

 

Knill led Bury to the League Two play-offs this season and impressed chairman Karl Oyston.

 

But Holloway gave the best interview and it was an added advantage he is out of work. That means there is no compensation to pay.

 

Steve Thompson, who missed out on the manager's job, will be Holloway's number two.

think he could do well there.

 

Hes on 5live sometimes i quite like the guy.

I think holloway is a really funny bloke, however he now has to perfrom everytime he is interviewed so he comes across as a dickhead.

saw interview on SSN

 

you can tell he's been out of practice

 

attempted to get a bit deep and philosophical about it all but with little humour

 

give a few months to get back up to speed
