Actually that was Guilbert's post... not all the posts regarding how lucky and undeserving Blackpool's new Premiership status is have come from me! Seems I'm not the only one here thinking the team that finished three places above you after 46 games were robbed.

I thought I'd just try and inject a note of realism into this thread, by saying that Blackpool's exact finishing position in the Championship is not of any great relevance to their prospects next season.

What is more relevant is whether Holloway can boost the squad with some inspired signings to give them a fighting chance. If he can pull a few rabbits out of the hat they might surprise a few people.

Correct!
