Lee Clark resigns as Blackpool manager

Blackpool accept the resignation of manager Lee Clark after the club suffered relegation from the Championship.

Lee Clark has resigned as manager of Blackpool after their relegation to League One.

The former Birmingham boss arrived at the club at the end of October, but he wasn't able to improve their fortunes on the pitch as he registered just three wins in a 32-match spell at Bloomfield Road.

The 42-year-old told the club's official website: "After a great deal of thought, I have come to the decision that it is not in the best interests of either myself or Blackpool FC that I continue as manager of the football club and have therefore tendered my resignation to the chairman, which he has accepted.

"It only remains to thank my staff, the players, the supporters and everybody else involved with the club for their help and support and wish them the best of luck for the future."

Alan Thompson, Clark's assistant at Blackpool, has also departed the club.
