Sinclair told The Gazette he hopes today’s momentous events will signal a fresh start for a reunited Seasiders.

“We don’t know if there are any parties or consortium's out there but fingers crossed there will be some resolution which will enable the fans to go back because that is what Gary Bowyer and the players need and what they deserve.

“Bowyer has done exceptionally well but there was so little support at Wembley and the fans have been staying away in droves.

“Hopefully the football club can move forward with new owners. I’m sure it will be like a carnival for the first few games and the fans will come back.”
