WaltersGotStyle 160 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Bournemouth have accepted an improved bid from Blackpool for striker Brett Pitman, who is now discussing personal terms with the Premier League new boys.The Cherries had turned down an initial offer on Wednesday for the 22-year-old, who scored 28 goals as Bournemouth won promotion from League Two last season.The Jersey-born forward joined Bournemouth in 2004 and has scored 62 goals in 197 first-team appearances.And he notched a hat-trick in the 5-1 win over Peterborough on Saturday.Cherries chairman Eddie Mitchell told the Tangerines when rejecting their initial offer that it was "not a million miles away" from what the Dorset club would accept.Pitman was prolific for Bournemouth during their promotion seasonBlackpool also signed Israel defender Dekel Keinan from Maccabi Haifa, while chairman Karl Oyston resigned with immediate effect on what proved to be a busy Wednesday for the Premier League club.The Seasiders had previously signed utility player Chris Basham, striker Marlon Harewood, French trio Ludovic Sylvestre, Elliot Grandin, Malaury Martin and defender Craig Cathcart since winning promotion via last season's Championship play-off final.Meanwhile, a tribunal has set Marc Pugh's transfer from Bournemouth to Hereford at a fee of £60,000 which could rise to £100,000 depending on appearances.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackpool/8925908.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Said he's fed up of dealing with premiership agents, changing the goalposts and giving them ultimatums and what not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler 4,509 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Their Chairman wants to put a £10k per week cap on wages and everybody else disagrees with him.It's time somebody stopped the circus that the EPL has become before its too late.

Tumshie 205 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Would love to see Blackpool staying up just to stick two fingers up to the Premiership and all the money that goes along with it. Plus Ian Holloway is a nutter and 1 funny guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,442 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Sensible from them not to go out splashing money at expensive players when they know there's a good chance of them going back down, no point in giving themselves financial problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madina 3,874 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hope Blackpool do well and stay up. They are a throwback to what football was really about pre-Sky and the circus the Prem has become Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdunsmb 43 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 They're doing everything on a strict budget because they know that realistically they will be getting relegated.Therefore they can take the Premiership royalties, and go back to the Championship as a much stronger side financially and competitively.A much better idea than trying to spend like maniacs to compete in the division, only to get relegated and be in huge financial problems that could mean you drop even further down the leagues (Leeds, Southampton, Charlton, Sheff Weds).A sensible way to go about things. Good luck to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
