Pre-season 'frustrating' for Blackpool boss Bruce
Blackpool boss Steve Bruce has labelled his side's pre-season as "frustrating" ahead of their opening League One fixture at home to Stevenage on Saturday.A total of 15 first-team players have left Bloomfield Road this summer, including Rob Apter and Sonny Carey to Charlton Athletic, while veteran Jordan Rhodes was addition to that, injuries to Crystal Palace loanee Danny Imray, Tom Bloxham, CJ Hamilton, Albie Morgan and club captain James Morgan have left Bruce concerned about his squad's depth on the eve of the new campaign."I have to say it's been a frustrating pre-season because nobody goes to work until the big boys decide which young ones they'll allow to go out on loan and then that filters down to the Championship," Bruce told BBC Radio Lancashire."We're still three, four, five, short of where we'd like to be."It was a scramble to start with people who are out of contract and I think we've recruited very well so far. Now we just need, at the top end of the pitch, some reinforcements and get ready for it."Despite admitting his current squad was in need of new faces, Bruce wants to see his side improve on their ninth-placed finish last term ahead of his 27th season in club management."We've got to be there or thereabouts in the play-offs. We've got to be in the top six," he added."I'm not trying to put any pressure on anybody but that's what we all want, that's what I've told the players that we've brought in." Meanwhile, one of Bruce's nine new summer recruits, goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, said his new boss was a big influence in why he joined the Tangerines on a season-long loan from Birmingham City."When you meet him here in person, you just get that energy, that aura off him. Within a minute, you're [saying] right I'm signing," he said."That's credit to the club to have a manager of that kind of calibre working for us."It's simple, it's clear and as footballers that's what you need and that's when you thrive, when there's that clarity."What that makes is a solid team that knows what we're all doing so, hopefully, everything like that will hold us in good stead."

Premier League will not be cut to 18 clubs amid calendar tensions, says league chief
The Premier League will not bow to pressure to reduce in size from 20 to 18 clubs, says chief executive Richard Masters. The new season kicks off on 15 August, just three weeks on from Chelsea's victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final as tensions continue to boil over the congested football calendar. The Blues played almost a year of continuous football before the end of their 2024/25 season gave them a long-awaited reprieve, but will have to do it all over again with 11 months of competitive action culminating back in the United States for the World Cup - the final of which takes place on 19 July in New Jersey. Complaints over the over-packed schedule have been rife, with Manchester City midfielder Rodri warning last September that players are 'close' to going on strike because of the increase in games. He said this just 10 days before being ruled out for the domestic season with an ACL injury. France's Ligue 1 made the decision to reduce from 20 to 18 teams for the 2023/24 campaign, in part so to lighten the fixture load. However, Masters has stated that the Premier League should not be 'forced' to follow suit. "I don't think we should be forced into that decision,' he told BBC Sport. "I am all for the growth of the game and the exciting competitions our clubs can participate in - but not at the expense of domestic football." This comes in the midst of a long-winded dispute between Fifa and FifPro - the world's main union for footballers - over the congested calendar and its impact on player welfare. remaining fearful of speaking out on the heavy workload because of the impact it could have on their careers. 'I was speaking to some of the top stars that were going to play in the Club World Cup, and they were saying that they hadn't had a rest for X amount of time,' Phillips said. 'One of them even said, 'I'll only get a rest when I get injured'. Others were resigned actually, and cynical about speaking up. 'Then you see some of the same players two weeks later having to record social media videos saying 'we think the Club World Cup is great' because their employers are telling them to do it. 'That's why unions do exist, partly, to be their voice, because they are in an invidious position. They can't speak. They can't say exactly what they think – well, they can do, but that may have consequences.'
