Blackpool fans are wondering what 04-05 will throw up. Will Colin Hendry get off to a dream start on his managerial debut.

STAR MAN  
Young Ritchie Wellens is a name familiar to Walsall fans. We had him on trial in 00-01.  He looked to be an exciting talent.  He joined Blackpool from Man United and has made a big impression in the North West. This busy midfielder is a key part of Blackpool's engine room.
 
THE VERDICT  
Expected to have a relegation fight by the bookies, Blackpool fans are hoping to push for a Play-Off place. They had to settle for 14th place last season. Anything better than that will be an achievement for new boss Colin Hendry  Odds - 30/1
