The 2010–11 season was Blackpool F.C.s debut season in the Premier League, after winning the 2009–10 Championship play-off Final in what was their 99th consecutive season in the Football League. It was also their 28th overall season in English football's top tier, but their first since 1971. It was Ian Holloway's second season as manager. The club finished 19th and were relegated back to The Championship. ==Season summary== The talk during the build-up to the new season was mainly centred around the club's lack of activity in the transfer market. Indeed, 81 days passed between the play-off Final and the first arrivals at Bloomfield Road for the forthcoming season. After the release of five players, plus the sale of Ben Burgess to Notts County and the forced retirement of Stephen McPhee, coupled with the departure of the five loan players who finished the 2009-10 campaign at the club, Ian Holloway had just fifteen senior players at his disposal.〔("Barclays Premier League kicks off on 14 August" ) - BBC Sport〕 On 11 August, however, the club replaced those five players with a quintet of new faces.〔("Blackpool sign quintent ahead of Premier League debut" ) - BBC Sport〕 A sixth, Chris Basham from Bolton Wanderers, followed two days later.〔("Blackpool sign Chris Basham from Bolton Wanderers" ) - BBC Sport〕 On 13 August, the eve of the new term, Blackpool had a first-team squad of 26; however, the advent of a new Premier League rule meant that, between 1 September and 1 January, the maximum number of players a club could pick from for Premier League games was 25. Eight of these must have been home-grown players. According to the Premier League: "A home-grown player means a player who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the Season during which he turns 21)." Additionally, the club may have selected as many under-21 players as they wanted during the campaign who were not in the locked-in squad.〔("Premier League stars in cold: New 25-man squad rule has megabucks players sitting it out" ) - MailOnline〕 On 1 February, clubs named another 25-man squad to see them through to the end of the Premier League season. On 18 August, Israeli international centre back Dekel Keinan was finally able to complete a deal that was set up earlier in the close season, after receiving his work permit. He arrived on a free transfer. He left the club in the January transfer window, however, for Cardiff City. Several players, including Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Jason Euell and Charlie Adam, kept the squad number assigned to them for the 2009-10 season despite their number not falling inside the traditional 1 to 11. Paul Rachubka retained the number 1 shirt despite being second choice to Matthew Gilks the previous campaign and the start of the new one. On 1 September, the club submitted their squad (of 24, not the maximum 25) to the Premier League. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2010–11 Blackpool F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
