Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach

[Tugayisgod]

See Blackpool fans are not too enamoured with Appleton as new manager 😀

Apparently Rosenoir turned them down cos he had to work with existing staff. Where’ve I heard that recently?

Amazing isn't it. A few seconds of a profile shot and he's hung out to dry.

Apart from the fact he never played for us in a competitive game and never will. This place has gone all FB.

It's certainly not gone down well on twitter.

Dack has quality that almost all (if not all) of the other players lack, so he’ll be involved.

How fit he gets and how much impact his injuries have had will dictate the rest, but there’s no way JDT won’t want to utilise who was, arguably, the best player in the league before he got injured.

I think we’ll see a big season from Dack this season.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

A few seconds of a video in which Dacky look disinterested and suddenly he's never going to the play he was 😭 

Granted he's had a couple of nasty injuries and chances are he will struggle to get where he was, but he has more than earned that chance

Yeah fingers crossed with a full pre season under his belt he can get back to his best. Nobody deserves it more than him after two bad injuries either.

Exactly. He's had some sub appearances after 2 years out and he's written off. He could well be crocked but give him a  full pre season and a run of games atleast.

Obviously it’s just a snapshot of a meeting, but generally it’s no surprise that so many young players drift down and out the league. Chapman being a prime example of pissing away his talent

I look back to my 20s and I pissed about, lack of focus, but then I didn’t have a very time limited career.

I did very much the same except I didn't have any career at all. Unless you count being a dick head a career, in which case I was flying high.

We'll see how he responds to training.

He couldn't run last season, and he was never the most mobile to begin with.

Correct.

When he came back last season it was late on and on the back of 2 horrendous injuries and a long time out.

A hell of a task to get back from that so he quite naturally looked off his game most of the time and under paced.

I hope that he has taken care of himself since last season ended and that he applies himself to what is going to be an intense pre season under JDT.

The players will be fit.

A full pre season for an injury free Dack and then see him play and judge him then. Sounds fair.

We also need him back as near to his best as possible and committed, we need quality.

open your borders, some light hearted humour is on the way...

[Danny O.Brien]

Yeah dack was never the quickest or most agile, but he had a nack for being the right place at the right time but most importantly he could score. Brilliant little player on his day. Like a pound shop frank lampard

I found this useful, interesting.

Sorry, it went over my head, just woke up after a day long siesta after too many late nights watching the Nations League.

Looks like he'd be a right sneaky tell tale

As an expert in NVC he is saying stay away from me, dont pay me any interest because I am not really here, in fact just ignore me and my gurning chomper

[Bethnal]

I saw the Dack thing and didn’t enjoy it so much, but we’ve no idea what happened immediately before or after, so I don’t think there’s much value in reading into it at this stage.

it’s very much up to Dack how much he contributes this year. If he’s kept fit and commits to the pre-season, there’re many uses for him, even if he’s not exactly the same player he was.
 

Ironically, Dack’s quite similar to JDT as a player: not the quickest, keen eye for goal, clinical finisher, excellent off the ball movement. If there’s anyone who can help him remould himself as a player, it’s this manager.

[Darwen Rover 007]

JDT seems like a breath of fresh air.. to be honest the football structure GB and JDT feel like a huge step up from what we have had previously..

Enthusiasm and communication.

Something we have bee  totally starved of

And that profile shot could have been taken 20 minutes before or after JDT started talking. Same with the other shots of Buckley and co.

Someone could have been telling them they'd ran out of steak bakes for all we know.

[Exiled in Toronto]

First impressions count, even when pulling faces about steak bakes.

After five years of Mowbray, there’s an entrenched culture in that dressing room that he’s not going to change with smiles and sharing his story. I’m expecting shock therapy and fairly soon.
