MANAGER Steve McMahon has signed a new contract with Blackpool FC. It's a 12 month rolling contract and finally the i's have been dotted and the t's crossed.

Steve McMahon said: "It has been done today, it has been sorted, it has been going on long enough for everybody and it needed doing sooner rather than later.

"There have been bits and pieces to sort but it is now done and dusted."

"It is a rolling contract which means it does not run out, that suits both parties because if there is a club interested then they have to pay compensation, if the two parties don't agree I can go and if they release me they have to pay so it's both, it works in everyone's favour."

Talking about his three years here, he added: "It's amazing how quickly it has gone and how things have changed both on and off the pitch and everything is going in the right direction.

"I wouldn't have signed otherwise. I wouldn't have been asked to sign if I wasn't doing a decent job and I am delighted we can continue the progress made.
