Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston said this week that wants to remain as manager Ian Holloway, however, the club is relegated. After three games remaining, including the trip to Manchester United on the last day of the season in Blackpool is just over three goals worse than difference, and it is easy to see why Oyston plans for the future outside the top flight.
Seasiders finished last season surge, winning six of their last eight league games to reach the final of the Championship play-off spot. This season will tell a different story, Blackpool was the ninth after beating Liverpool in January, but has won just once since then.
Tottenham Hotspur FC missed the chance to climb to third place in the Premier League where they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Blackpool FC side that kept Harry Redknapp two points behind Manchester City FC.
Blackpool started brightly and opened the scoring when Sébastien Bassong paid DJ Campbell and Charlie Adam swept the resulting penalty after 18 minutes. Tottenham, home to Milan 1-0 advantage in their Champions League round of 16 second leg on March 9 is dominated by another opening 45 minutes, but was caught off guard, while James Beattie on the cross was recovered a Campbell travel at half time.
Other figures Blackpool, combined with poor defense Tottenham Brett Ormerod (80) for 3-0, with the consolation of the Spurs ahead with an effort Roman Pavlyuchenko overtime. The Tangerines go until the 12th, five points above the relegation zone.
This game is a must-win for both parties, which should be a cracking game. Both teams are well known for his attacking philosophy if we have a good open game with two goals and participation is expected.
A defeat for Tottenham this virtually eliminate any possibility of completing the fourth and booking a place in the Champions League, if there are reasons for Harry Redknapp's men to go out and win the game.
The stakes are equally high in Blackpool, but for different reasons than they are currently sitting just above the relegation zone on goal difference by just taking off. A win against Tottenham would be a great victory by Ian Holloway and may be necessary if you want to survive in the Premier League.
Tottenham are the favorites, and nobody really expects to win at Blackpool, but during the season, they pulled out of a series of shocks and the brand of football they play, they are still able to score goals. The defense looks like a weak point for Tottenham and Blackpool could benefit.
It is also interesting to note that Blackpool has already beaten the Spurs at home this season so they know they have everything they need to take all three points against the Spurs.
Tom Huddlestone and Benoit Assou-Ekotto were eliminated in the Tottenham and Harry Redknapp already missing several players, especially in the back, will not be met.
Instead, there are no new concerns for Blackpool and with James Beattie also returning from injury Ian Holloway, who is almost full strength team to choose.
