Blackpool v Lincoln City League One Play-Off Final 15:00 Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Football / Sky Sports Ultra HD Might give Embleton my support if I'm not out in the garden... Until we meet again, stay safe everyone
But if Blackpool win, Embleton may insist on staying with them. And Sunderland won’t want disgruntled players in their ranks.
It appears Embleton and Hawkes are not too enamored by LJ lack of opportunities for the U23 https://the72.co.uk/237478/sunderla...whos-unlikely-to-extend-stay-with-black-cats/ https://www.footballfancast.com/sun...nsfer-news-josh-hawkes-lee-johnson-league-one
Anyone got any preferences on the outcome of today’s playoff final? On a selfish basis I’d prefer Lincoln to win. I think that’s the only chance we have of getting Embleton back. If Blackpool win he will, naturally, want to stay with them. Of course we could force him back but nobody wants a resentful player in the dressing room. And his contract is up for renewal before long. It was football insanity letting him go on loan to one of our rivals without at least getting him to sign an extension. But that is hindsight.
Were gonna lose all our talented young uns again cos they know they've got no chance with Johnson running the show.
I cant really say i ever found him to be anything special with us, though it seems he has come on no end at Blackpool. So if we do get him back it will have been worth it. Who goes up, couldnt give a toss.
Hopefully Blackpool for Embleton and also the way that the Lincoln winger celebrated towards the East stand after the second leg, the little ****.
How would it be good for us if Blackpool win? If they do we probably lose a decent player. Nothing against Blackpool, just thinking of ourselves.
when he went there they were nowhere near play-offs...so hardly a 'rival' at the time. blackpool have shown faith in him when his own club has not during a time when our midfield has hardly been inspiring...if they want to keep him and offer a good price then good for him, not sure lincoln will manage the same form next season where blackpool have had a great run so would prefer blackpool to go up and out of this league otherwise i feel we will be fighting them all the way.
