Rachubka set to leave

Vital Blackpool have let us know that they believe, Paul Rachubka will be offered a two year deal with an option for a further year in the coming weeks – whatever league The Seasiders are in.

The club are finalising their offer for our keeper – whose contract expires at Town on 30th June.

Financial talks have been ongoing at Blackpool this week and manager Simon Grayson is ready to offer ‘Rabs` a deal.

Wages had yet to be approved by the club`s board of directors, but sources close to Rachubka state that he is ready to sign a deal keeping him at the seaside until summer 2009.

Rachubka is said to be very happy at Bloomfield Road and will accept the offer from the club, even if ‘Pool remain in League One after the playoffs.

Rachubka started his ‘Pool career on the bench after signing his loan deal, but has now found himself their number one stopper, after recovering from injury, featuring in their run in to the season and the semi final play off games against Oldham, and looks set to play in the final against Yeovil.

In contrast to Peter Jackson, the view of Simon Grayson, Blackpools young manager, is that having gone through the playoffs last year with Town, that ‘Rabs’ offers a wealth of experience as a number one goalkeeper and can also push the seasiders former number one, Rhys Evans to try and regain his number one jersey over the summer period.
