This is the squad list on Blackpool’s official website… (Picture: Blackpool FC)

Blackpool must be gearing up for a busy end to the transfer window after the sale of Tom Ince to Hull City meant the club only have… EIGHT players left.

David Perkins, Gary MacKenzie, Steve Davies, Bobby Grant, Tom Barkhuizen, Tony McMahon, Charles Dunne and new signing Sergei Zeniov are the only senior players contracted to the Tangerines ahead of the new season, which starts in exactly one month.

That means new manager Jose Riga has just a few weeks to bring in a host of new players, with the team not even having a goalkeeper, never mind a starting XI at present.

The club have been plagued by financial problems in recent years, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
