Pure speculation on my part but this scenario would stack up.
Lets say that PI and KO have had a discussion re signings. The outcome was that PI was told could use any money received for the sale on Tom for new signings but wages must remain constant. This could be why our loanees have gone home so that wages are available.
PI's first priority is his Son (understandably) and both he and Tom could make a lot of money if they wait until the end of the season which is only 5 months away. Any sale fee in January will go to KO, but in May it would go to the Inces in either wages or a signing on fee. Can anyone blame PI for his stance? Would KO do anything different in his position? Sorry Karl but you've had your lotto win and Paul and Tom will get theirs in the summer.
So stubborn Karl has dug his heels in and so has PI. The outcome is a stalemate.
Karl has refused to add funds to sign players and PI has said OK its your club and if your happy with League one then its your choice. I'm off in the summer anyway to manage my Sons career.
Meanwhile back at Bloomers we see the result. PI is on cruise control giving days off to suit himself, no new signings, half a squad and a dramatic loss of form.

Makes sense mate! But nothing would surprise me in the BFC Circus anymore! To be honest im past caring coz nothing will change whilst KO bleeds us dry apart from relegation! I mean how much more do we have to put up we have a owner,manager & playing staff playing poker with the club just to line their own pocket! Oysten needs to put up or shut up! Hell do neither so OYSTEN OUT! Id rather watch the pool in the conference than watch our club bleed dry and die under this buffoon!

The squad are training no more than 1 hour when they attend training and gilks kicked off about the lack of training so expect to see him on the bench soon

Sunday league standards. Haven't we been here before?
Sounds like Gilks has had enough and I can't blame him.
Shambolic.

It is only a few years since many fans in this country thought the world of us, Preston being the exception no doubt, but even some of their supporters congratulated us on our achievements. Now we are just a shadow of what we were and the blame lies fairly and squarely on the shoulders of one man. A worthless one year rolling contract for a man who made millions for the club, little wonder he was piss'' off, then Apps who saw the light very early on in his Blackpool career then a long wait for someone else who's probable only real interest in taking the job was because of his son and all the time the team lacking any proper investment. Is it any wonder we are where we are. The fans feel a passion for the club but the owners obviously don't, for the manager whoever it is it is just a job, the players may feel a passion but they are only the ones we sign, the loans will never have that passion and desire. What lies ahead, either a big Atlantic storm with a very rough ride or the calming waters of the Caribbean not of course in the hurricane season, good luck to the good ship Blackpool let us hope we make the end of the voyage in May, still intact.

As much as KO irritates me and probably the majority of pool fans I am lost to how KO will benefit if we are relegated?
With the parachute payments soon to end and if KO wishes to sell the club the value must be higher in the Championship than L1?
Would not spending 2-3 mill be worth 5 mill at selling value?
Whilst KO has not passion for footy he has a business head.
What is the current value of BFC?

Its hard to put a figure on the value of the club because of the way it has been broken up into separate business.
My patience has run out now with Karl all he had to do was put 5% of the prem money back in each year and we might just have been challenging yet again

Such a waste of a profitable situation, a little money could have gone a long way.
We need somebody to pay Karl a visit, some muscle is required.

From Koko to Nero and an ego the size of a planet, but nothing will change. Our only hope is to find an inspirational manager and I'm afraid PI is not up to it. Another role of the dice is required.

I have to agree that it appears PI is not the manager we thought or hoped he would become.
Finding inspirational managers, like IH, is not easy and I would suggest that everybody is aware of KO and the issues PI and other managers have faced.
An established manager would not accept the restrictions on budget, training etc.....
That would leave potential candidates from the lower leagues or Sven Goran Eriksson!

Personally I wouldn't give Sven my lads pocket money to spend.
I think you've raised the bar too high on Lower league managers. They would need to be
A) Out of work B) Desperate C) Cheap

To just highlight some of the bizarre troubles that face any manager here are a few tip bits (allegedly) Tom Ince wants to move but Karl is not happy as not only do Liverpool get 20% from any sale Tom himself also gets 20% of any transfer fee and Karl wants him to wave that clause in his contract, needless to say Tom has refused as he will get a similar signing fee come summer. and even if he did leave the manager has already been told those funds are not available to him. Before the Tyrone Mears story pool had secured the services of a right back he had passed his medical agreed to join, but then he met Karl and walked away from signing. One player who shall remain nameless wanted medical help shall we say to loose weight rather than doing it the old fashion way of diet and exercise. Did you know Chopra's agent actually served time in the same holiday home as Owen and currently resides at a farm in Lytham, explains a lot
