It's the club's official statement, not a promise. If you've any evidence that it was inaccurate, please produce it otherwise it just looks like you're making stuff up.More like a Chairman's "promises" and spin to try and paint himself as the hero. As you know, these often turn out to not quite be the full truth of the matter.

Blackpool: Transfer revenue: 1.080.000 £ - Transfer expenditures: 1.026.000 £ = +54.000 £ http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/fc-blackpool/transfers/verein_1181.html
Cardiff: Transfer revenue: 5.715.000 £ - Transfer expenditures: 6.817.500 £ = -1.102.500 £ http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/cardiff-city/transfers/verein_603.html
The fact that they recouped more money over the season than they spent speaks for itself. Despite the pre-season promises of having a considerable transfer fund, it NEVER materialised.
You're making yourself look incredibly bitter over all this you know ?
Your team MASSIVELY outspent little ol' Blackpool this season, yet they still triumphed against the odds. Why can't you admit defeat graciously and give them credit for this ?
All this clutching at straws and nitpicking is looking increasingly desperate editor.
Fuck me you are a dog with a bone
Can you do your detective work and find out what we actually payed for Chopra cos I'm sure Sunderland owed us a huge amount.
I'm pretty sure it we didn't part with 4 million.
smoke and mirrors innit
Are you a bit fucking twp or something?Your team MASSIVELY outspent little ol' Blackpool this season, yet they still triumphed against the odds. Why can't you admit defeat graciously and give them credit for this ?
Not sure why you're bringing up Cardiff, because I've never made that comparison
For the last fucking time: I'm not comparing them with Cardiff, FFS.
And what I've actually said:After initially appearing to take defeat graciously, the editor seems to now be feeling slightly bitter and trying to poo-poo Blackpool's achievement.
Anyway, just to repeat: I wish Blackpool all the best. They beat us fair and square at Wembley and I hope they do well in the Premiership.
Well done Blackpool and good luck for next season.
I'm not going to bother to reply to any more of your weird misrepresentations because they're getting on my tits. Anyone reading the thread can see what I actually posted.Yeah, they deserved the win.
Are you a bit fucking twp or something?
NOT ONCE have I been comparing Blackpool's finances with Cardiff's, and have reminded you of the fact several times - yet here you are once again pointlessly posting up bizarre and irrelevant facts. Look:
Read the thread properly before posting again because it's just too weird arguing with you at present.
And what I've actually said:

And that latest pile of dishonest, twisting shit translates into:No need for the insults please.
Here's a clue, the title of the thread and topic of discussion... "Championship play-off final: Blackpool vs Cardiff City"
Through the last couple of pages you've been constantly bleating about the unfair advantage of Blackpool having a millionaire owner bankrolling them to success.
Now who is the advantage over ? Top tip, check the thread title again for a clue. Your words may have been carefully chosen, but it's damn clear what your implication is.
Take defeat on the chin, and look forward to next season.
And that latest pile of dishonest, twisting shit translates into:
"Ooops! I really can't find any quotes to support the bullshit I've been posting so now I'll start insisting that I know what what he really meant instead."
It's all a bit pathetic really. I've made it very, clear that I was not comparing Blackpool to Cardiff and said so. Repeatedly.
I wish Blackpool all the best, but he has a point: it's going to be very hard for them to survive in the cash-driven Premier$hip. With such a small ground and a relatively tiny fanbase, it's going to be very difficult for them to raise funds through tickets and merchandising and that's like to impact on the team's potential.
But I wish them all the best. Their (mainly new found) fans were great at Wembley and helped make a real occasion of it.
Yes, but without their Latvian multi millionaire pumping in millions they wouldn't be where they are now. And that's a fact too.
Not to knock their achievement, mind, but just pointing out that they were given a clear fiscal advantages over some other clubs.
Don't be silly. If Blackpool hadn't received his millions, they wouldn't be where they are now, and the club has clearly enjoyed a substantial advantage over other clubs who weren't so lucky as to have a multi-multi-millionaire come along and invest millions in them.
Cardiff may have spent £1.7m on a record signing Chopra, but Valeri Belokon has poured in millions - starting with a £4.5m initial investment followed by a "considerable amount" extra in August 2009.
Most clubs don't get handed that kind of money, you know, so a little perspective is needed here.

dont misrepresent me ta
'some of my best friends are engurlisch'
clear to anyone reading that you are a moaning weirdo with some not funny and not ironic problem with this site you post so much on, catch a grip
go away and start a Swindon thread ffs, you're even boring yourself now
I don't think Dread could have been much more gracious to Blackpool other than climbing up Blackpool tower and shouting "well done you pissed-up sunburnt tangerine freaks"
Badlands, we could have won though, innit. Hell of a game, really. It has taken me til today to get over it. This thread has helped, the amount of crap on here. I don't think Dread could have been much more gracious to Blackpool other than climbing up Blackpool tower and shouting "well done you pissed-up sunburnt tangerine freaks"
I cannot fucking wait for the new season, I hope the players and staff have had the chat that says, "right, new owners, new money, let's stay one more year and really ram it up them"
Bring it on
