Clark planning complete clean-out at rock-bottom Blackpool

Lee Clark has made it vehemently clear that he will return Blackpool to winning ways next season.

The Seasiders are destined for League One as they sit dead bottom of the Championship table, a massive 19 points from safety.

Clark, who took the reins at Bloomfield Road in October, was the subject of jeers from the home supporters during Tuesday night's 3-0 loss to Charlton Athletic but has vowed to put things right in England's third tier next season.

"I'll do it next season, 100 per cent," he told reporters.

"The fans, I understand their frustration, it's turned towards me and I understand that but I'll do it. I'll have the personnel on the 29th of June.

"It's very difficult but I've done it once before when I had my full squad done for the first day of pre-season. Sometimes, with the market, it's difficult to get them all but we'll certainly have high teens in terms of the squad size to hit the ground running on the 29th.

"We'll have a brand-new football pitch that will be conducive to playing fast, high-tempo football and a new squad with belief.

"When I was deciding on taking this job I knew there was a massive chance that this club was going to go do down and I wanted to be given the opportunity to rebuild."
