Blackpool's precision in reaching Evatt decision

Blackpool have found their new head coach - but is it an appointment that could have been made at least a week earlier?

From the outside, it seemed like the longer the process went on, the less likely it was going to be Ian Evatt as he was simply there for the taking.

He was an obvious candidate immediately after Steve Bruce's exit.

From a sentimental point of view, he's someone who knows the club very well and was part of a successful period as a player.

His interview with the in-house media demonstrated just how much the place means to him and the passion he has.

More importantly, he's got a good CV for a young coach with promotions from the National League and League Two as well as experience in League One.
