| Nick Bell celebrates Blackpool's Christmas victory against Sunderland. |
History Boys manager, Nick Bell, is planning on tabling an offer to current number 1, James Giblin, to postpone his plans for an immediate retirement. Warrington born Giblin, 20, has played a key part in the History Boys season by starting all but one of the History Boys' fixtures this season. After being plucked from the football wilderness, Giblin looked set for a lengthy career with the History Boys. But after his absence in today's game against No Name United, his no show fuelled speculation of his departure.
In an interview with James Giblin, we discovered that he is planning an early retirement from football, to concentrate on his family.
"With the resumption of the league after the winter break, I've decided to hang up my gloves and focus on my family and to explore other paths in my career. I thank the club for having me and I've enjoyed my 4 month stint here." said Giblin.
Nick Bell isn't prepared to give up on Giblin though and pleads that his number 1 stay with the club until the end of the season. It's been widely reported that he's interested in bringing Unathletico Madrid 'keeper, Matthew Creegen, to the History Boys. However it seems as if Bell is making a fresh move to extend Giblin's stay. In an interview with TalkSport Radio, Nick Bell was quoted saying,
"Erm, we have received a notification of James' plan on retiring and at the moment we've accepted his decision despite how upsetting it is to the club. He's been with us since the beginning and has done a very good job for us. Erm, whether I'm prepared to reside to let him leave is another matter. I still think he can do a job for us and I'll be in contact in regards to postponing his retirement until at least the end of the season."
Nick Bell will hold talks with Giblin within the next few days and he, along with most History Boys fans, hope he will extend his deal until the summer.
