Even prior to the sacking of Neil Critchley back in August, a number of long-serving players had headed towards the exit door, alongside a number of the club’s youngsters.
Since the appointment of Steve Bruce, there has been a change of approach at Bloomfield Road, which prompted further exits throughout the most-recent transfer window.
We’ve taken a closer look at how the recent permanent departures have performed since leaving the Seasiders:

A mutual termination of the the fullback's contract allowed him to join Motherwell as a free agent. The 24-year-old has featured three times in the SPL so far, but saw manager Stuart Kettlewell quit his role at Fir Park last month, with Michael Wimmer recently appointed as his successor.
