But speaking to the Blackpool Gazette, Clarke described how he "had unfinished business at Blackpool". Clarke aged 26, left Blackpool to join then Championship side Southend for a fee of £250,000. However the timing of his move was slightly out and he left us on the verge of the season. With some fans calling him a "Judas".

Although Clarke believes he had a good relationship with the fans of the club when he was here. He said "I had a great relationship with the fans when I was at Blackpool, and if some of them are saying they would like to see me back that is brilliant."

Whether Grayson will make a move for Clarke is unknown but Clarke was keen to stress he has unfinished business at Blackpool, which some may see as a "Come and get me" message for Simon Grayson.

He said"Larry (manager Simon Grayson) may have other ideas about that, and we will only find out in the course of time whether it comes about or not. But what I will say is that I feel I still have unfinished business at Blackpool."

Speaking on Blackpool promotion he said. "The club got promoted to the Championship and I was not there to be a part of it, but I thought it was brilliant for the lads and the fans."

Clarke finally explained how his transfer listed status came about. He explained "I was on holiday when I found out on Thursday, I still have one year left on my contract and the club wanted me to sign an extension for a further 12 months. I said I didn't want to sign for another year at this stage, and then I found out I was being put on the transfer list with two other first-team players. I find it all a bit strange but I suppose these things happen in football"
