Good to see him get out on loan but Blackpool are a bit of a mess. Hopefully he'll get regular playing time, Clark played our lads enough at Birmingham
Joe Rothwell
- Thread starter Stobzilla
- Start date
Excellent. If he stays fit he'll do well.
Hope United has been asured that he'll get to play, not just sit on the bench.
A little stange perhaps that Rothwell gets a championship loan, while Pearson only gets a Ligue 1 loan.

Good move a struggling Championship club. I'm sure he'll get his fair share of playing time there.
Good news if he gets game time.
Senior football will be great for him if he can get it. Really needs it if he has any chance of getting his foot in the door at United.
Lee Clark says new loan signing Joe Rothwell brings the 'Manchester United mentality' with him to Blackpool.
Rothwell was added to the Pool squad earlier this week, and the manager is expecting big things.
The 20-year-old progressed through the Old Trafford system and will now remain with Blackpool until May.

was on the bench and didnt come on in Blackpool's win over Brighton..
They had a 17 and 18 year old starting today who both had only played 20 minutes or so in the league. One of their wiki pages it says the two of them rejected contract offers a couple of weeks ago and were sent to play with the u18s by the chairman. I don't know but that looks like they've been played because they have signed contracts. Blackpool really is a mess if that is the case and they're being bullied by some 17/18 year olds.
Came on at half time for Blackpool, lost 4-0 to Norwich though
Good to see he got on at half time. I can't help but feel its going to be a bit of a disappointing loan though. Blackpool look shite, bottom of the table, the supporters are against the manager and owner and have been holding demonstrations at matches, there is the shit with their youth players contracts and overall it seems like a horrible environment to be. Hopefully Joe is just able to get on the pitch and do his stuff.
I agree, was weird that we agreed to send Rothwell there.. I'm sure there would have been other clubs, at least League 1 teams ready to give him a chance. Will be a tough mental test for him off the pitch with all the chaos at that club
Most important thing is that the manager rate him (and I suppose the manager's job security). We only have the quotes above and 45 minutes now to assume that's the case, but it's something.
Our loan work is often a mess, though.

Not surprised about that....a loan to Blackpool was always the wrong destination.
I don't know what the feck we were thinking sending him to Blackpool. He would have been better off at a proper club in League 1.

Poor lad.Hasn't got any luck on loan so far.
About time he was recalled.
Joining Hearts (SPL).About time for him to try to overcome those injuries/illness and resurrect his career.
loan or we sold him?
Permanent move.
What is happening with this, Khoazany?
Shame, quite liked him
Deal fell through.Really on limbo right now.We seem to have give up on him.A shame to see but that's football.
Been unlucky the past months, he will come back.
Hope he can sort a move out for himself soon. One of my favourite players and I don't want to see him wasting his time.
He has checked into the Lowry with the rest of the squad so is clearly included in the squad for tonights game against Watford.

What happened to Ben Pearson? He was meant to be the next big thing out of our Academy and he must be gutted seeing all these other players getting an opportunity whilst he has been shipped off to the Championship
Pearson moved to Preston North End in the January window. If it was because the manager/coaches didn't rate him or if it was because he wanted gametime I do not know.
Oh my God yes! Didn't think I'd ever see this. Feck yeah, definitely getting a shirt with his name on it. Just need Harrop to get in now.
no chance he will play though
hopefully he will be on the bench....He is on the bench. No reason he wouldn't play if we're winningno chance he will play though
Even if Rothwell doesn't play it's still a good step up for him, shows he's doing something right and it should motivate him. Great for him to be here after all the bad luck he has had.no chance he will play though
Handy 2-0 lead by the 75th and hopefully he can get 15 minutes.
If there's a player from the reserves who deserves a shot, it's Rothwell. Really hope he gets to come on and make an impact! I'm super stoked for him!
are you sure? Often younger players just "travel" with the match squad but they aint involved in the match.....but i hope you are right, i love Rothwell and he deserves a chance.
It's an 18 man squad. So he will be on the bench.
