Clark named as the new Blackpool boss
BLACKPOOL appointed Lee Clark as their new manager on Thursday but bookmakers are not expecting an immediate upturn in their fortunes.
The Seasiders are bottom of the Championship and 1-6 with Coral to be relegated this season, while it’s only 11-8 with bet365 that Clark’s old club Birmingham join Blackpool in League One next season.
Clark told Blackpool’s official website: “I am absolutely delighted. The main objective is to try and keep the club in The Championship and build from there. It is a big challenge because of our position in the league but it's a challenge that can be overcome.
“It's one that if we achieve what we set out to achieve, which is to stay in the league, it will be a tremendous feat by the whole group. I'm very confident with the players I've got here, in what we can do going forward, that we can achieve those goals."
