As much as i love KP and would have loved to have kept him he needed to move on and refresh his career...AM was destroying him and his confidence so first chance he has he went... also with the way that CH is playing i dont think he would have fitted into his style of play...

Also as one of the other posters said i dont think cam or zigic and even dann are as injured as they make out... i think CH is being very cute and trying to keep them until the next window..

McLeish didnt play him enough, and only realised around that Bolton game onwards to play him... and even then, he didnt fit in with Judas' lets say, 'style of play'.

Phillips didnt want to stay with us with McLeish in charge, and practically left us the moment that final whistle went at Spurs, especially when the board backed McLeish.

I dont think him being 37 and on £25k a week helped things in our state either, but even if we'd offered another year, he wouldnt have stayed here under McLeish.


Now, if Hughton was in before we decided on the fates of Phillips etc, and theyd have took wage cuts/we had the money to pay him the same sort of money, then I have no doubts Hughton wouldve kept Phillips on.


Oh and for the guy above who mentioned about Blackpool not paying more than £15k etc, its been widely documented that due to their huge income from the Premier League (and little spending whilst there), plus transfers out this summer and saving on wages, they're actually paying more out this year, on players, than last... so I would expect him to be on closer to the £25k he was on here, than £15k... same with Barry Ferguson.

Yes he was a high earner... Blackpool in the Premier were the lowest paid; reputed to be a maximum of £15k. Surely in the Championship they pay even less ? ... and yet we could not offer Phillips a 12 month deal that would compete with them?
He is probably the best finisher we ever had, and ( playing in an attacking team ) will be one of the top scorers in the Championship this season.

Funnily enough.

Blackpool's time in the Premier has enabled them to complete their ground rehab.

AND

Increase many player's wages.

That is why they got Ferguson and also why Kev turned down Brighton.

Kev's contract was finished at Blues, if McLeish had of re-signed him it would be on Championship wages, alongside Rooney and Gormis etc - not on Blackpool's enhanced wage structure.

Blackpool were low Prem payers, but they are pretty close to Leicester this season.

You're right Bry - I think even his little band of followers from last season have finally admitted that he was 100% to blame for usbeing relegated.

At least the games are likely to be more interesting now - I would happily bet that our home average crowd will be higher this season than at any time during Mc Loser's reign!

Wasn't his fitness supposed to be bad, in that he could never play a full match? I think it was time for him to move on, although I do wish him well.

Papaulski, when the strikers are fit they will be sold. Maybe in Zigic's case he will be given away and even then we may have to susidize his wages. A brilliant piece of business, that. (And still people support PP!!!)

Point is we should have played him last season and he would have kept us up, have no doubt about that.............McLeish,I F*)king hate you you idiot. :angry:

I got an indefinite ban for that sort of comment. :rolleyes:

but hey, what complete rubbish and lies McTworelegations gave us when he kept saying KP didn't have the legs for 90 mins. What he meant was he didn't have the legs for his boring boring run run run mentality from a forward.

I hate that boring and inept ****

Kevin Phillips is one of my fave ever players. I think he has fantastic, touch , awareness and we all know he can finish. I'd love him to still be with us but i'm certainly not bitter to see him scoring for Blackpool.

He's 38 now and he wasn't being played often by Mcleish and the service he got in that team wasn't great, he got a pretty decent amount of goals considering but that's the type of player he is, he only needs one chance. I think that its great he's in an attacking team and so far he's getting games for them and rewarding them with goals.

I could imagine him doing really well under Hughton, but it wasn't his decision to release him and with the situation at the club its good to save on wages.
