Spurs are hopeful of beating Liverpool to the £6.5 million signing of Blackpool winger Tom Ince, according to the Mirror. Chief executive Daniel Levy is keen to do business with the Seasiders as soon as possible and whisk the England under-21 international away from his dad, Bloomfield Road boss Paul, before their rivals start to [.

We continue our series of archive videos of the clubs of the Football League Championship this
morning with Blackpool. Amongst the giants of the immediate post-war era, Blackpool entered a
steady decline in the 1970s before recovering their composure and eventually finding their way back
into the Premier League, and last season they were only narrowly beaten in the play-off final for a
place back in the top division by West Ham United.

The many former Everton players who have described the goalkeeper Gordon West as a
larger-than-life character were not just referring to his considerable physical presence.

Blackpool's accession to the Premier League was, on the surface, one of the feel-good stories of
2010. A club with a tight wage budget had broken up from the bottom division of the Football League
and reclaimed a place in the top division that it had last held almost forty years previously. The
team itself battled hard in the Premier League once there, winning a league double against
Liverpool and beating Tottenham Hotspur at Bloomfield Road before succumbing to relegation by a
single point on the final day of the season.
West Ham hauled themselves back to the top of the Championship last night with a resounding win
over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road, despite having to play for more than half-an-hour with
midfielder Henri Lansbury betwixt the sticks.
With West Ham already 2-1 up through James Tomkins and Nicky Maynard, Rob Green was dismissed in
the 53rd minute for chopping down Roman Bednar outside his area and, with no reserve 'keeper named,
Lansbury was left to take up the gloves for the rest of the match.

The Seasiders sit just one point off the play-off places in the Championship table in seventh spot,
in what has once again been a very competitive league this term with any side capable of getting a
result in any game.

Please do your bit to help Gary Parkinson, one of this world's good guys
It has been more than 15 months since Gary Parkinson suffered a massive stroke that means the
only way he can communicate is by blinking his eyes. Parky was in charge of youth development at
Blackpool after a career that had taken him to Bloomfield Road via spells at Everton,
Middlesbrough, Southend, Bolton, Burnley and Preston.

Lucas picked up against Chelsea in the League Cup on Tuesday. There are, however, rumours. And, as
is the way with rumours of this sort, they're mostly terrible no good very bad ones we'd really
rather not give much credence to.
Blackpool loanee Jonjo Shelvey is hoping Liverpool will agree to extend his stay at Bloomfield
Road.
The 19-year-old midfielder is enjoying a spell of regular first-team football, chipping in with six
goals for the Seasiders.
Having helped Ian Holloway's side cement their place within the promotion-chasing pack in the
Npower Championship, Shelvey is eager to see the challenge through, and help Blackpool bounce back
to the Barclays Premier League at the first time of asking.
Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam has stated that he is relishing the competition for first-team
places at Anfield this season.
The 25-year-old has been a regular feature in Kenny Dalglish's starting XI so far this term,
following his summer transfer from Blackpool.
Whilst Adam believes his switch to Merseyside was a 'reward' for his performances at Bloomfield
Road last season, the Scottish international is not taking his place for granted, with fellow
midfielder Steven Gerrard still to make his return to full fitness.
New Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cotterill has barely got his feet under the table at The
City Ground and already Forest look to be on the up.
The former Portsmouth manager has been at the club a week and half and has already won as many
league games as manager than a certain former England manager did on Trentside.

While the race for the Premier League title hots up, let's not forget there is plenty of
football being played outside the top 20 teams in England.
Here are seven stand-out players from the Championship, all of whom could be playing in the top
flight next season:
Albert Adomah
Despite making almost 200 league appearances for non league Harrow Borough and League Two side
Barnet, Adomah was a largely unknown quantity when he arrived at Bristol City in the summer of
2010.

high-rollers) in a fortnight or so's time in the form of a photo essay.
Blackpool have agreed a deal to sign Liverpool defender Danny Wilson on loan until the end of the
season.
Wilson has yet to make an impact at Anfield since his arrival from Rangers in 2010 and has made
just one appearance in the Carling Cup so far this season.
The Scotland international admitted earlier this season that he would be open to a loan move away
from Liverpool in search of regular first-team football and Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has now
decided to let him move on.

Blackpool want to extend Liverpool starlet Jonjo Shelvey's loan spell at the club.
Shelvey sealed a loan move to Blackpool at the end of September and has impressed during his stay
at Bloomfield Road, scoring six goals in nine appearances.
He netted a stunning hat-trick in Blackpool's 5-0 demolition of Leeds at the start of the month and
Ian Holloway is eager to keep him at the club.
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway says he is unlikely to be making an imminent move to sign Liverpool
defender Danny Wilson on loan.
Holloway recently brought Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey to Bloomfield Road on a temporary
basis and has been strongly linked with an offer for Wilson.
The Scotland international has yet to make an impact at Anfield since his arrival from Rangers in
2010 and has made just one appearance in the Carling Cup so far this season.
Jonjo Shelvey has thanks Liverpool teammate Charlie Adam for his advice after impressing on loan
debut for Blackpool.
The England youth international described his first appearance for the Tangerines as 'perfect'
after scoring from distance with a free kick in a 5-0 romp against Bristol City.
Ian Holloway has reportedly been tracking the teenager for some time, and Shelvey admits the
short-term move came about after conversations with Scottish international Adam, who was Blackpool
captain for their Npower Championship promotion and subsequent relegation last term.
Liverpool youngster Jonjo Shelvey has sealed a loan switch to Championship outfit Blackpool, the
club has confirmed. The player will spend the rest of the season at Bloomfield Road in order to
further his development. Blackpool have been chasing Shelvey ever since the two clubs agreed a deal
for the transfer of Charlie Adam, and Ian Holloway will be delighted to have finally got his
man.

Blackpool have sealed the signature of Tom Ince from Liverpool, after the player passed a
medical and agreed personal terms. The youngster joins another ex-Red, Gerardo Bruna, in moving to
Bloomfield Road. Ince, the son of former Liverpool star Paul, has signed a two-year deal with
Blackpool with the option for a further year should Blackpool wish to extend his stay.

Blackpool is lining up a loan move for Liverpool starlet Danny Wilson, according to the Blackpool
Gazette.
The 19-year-old Scotland international made eight appearances for the Reds last season and was high
on Ian Holloway's wish list in the summer, but a deal couldn't be struck.
The left-sided central defender had recently been set to join Nottingham Forest until the sacking
of Steve McClaren, which has paved the way for a move to Bloomfield Road alongside Liverpool
team-mate Jonjo Shelvey.
