How social media reacted to Blackpool adding ex-Derby County midfielder to their ranks
Having signed a four-year contract with an additional 12-month option, Jordan Brown left Leyton Orient for Bloomfield Road for an undisclosed sum.
The midfielder becomes the Seasiders’ sixth signing of the summer, joining Fraser Horsfall, Michael Ihiekwe, George Honeyman, Niall Ennis and Franco Ravizzoli on the Fylde Coast.
How the Blackpool faithful reacted
Like the first arrival on the list, the defensive midfielder competed in the League One play-offs last season, reaching the final at Wembley with Richie Wellens’ side.
How the Blackpool faithful reacted
Taking to social media, Blackpool fans have been sharing their satisfaction after another shrewd signing.
One wrote: “Really impressive signing. We’ve been crying out for a proper DCM that can tackle and can run for 90 mins, we got overrun constantly last season. Club doing excellent work so far no complaints from anyone.”
Another added: “We are cooking.”
A third noted: “A brilliant player. Glad we got him was phenomenal for orient.”
With a fourth stating: “Another great signing.”
Orient fans give their verdict
In addition to remarks made by Seasiders fans, Orient supporters also offered their opinions on the agreement.
“Really gutted on this one, a hole shaped like Jordan Brown whenever he wasn’t in midfield,” one person commented. I wish you luck.
“Shame, I always thought he made the team a lot stronger when he played,” said another.
A third added: “Absolutely gutted, love him, however I do think midfield is a good place to get a good replacement.”
While a fourth said: “A honest player who always gave his all. Showed resilience after a tough start to last season going on to be one of the stronger performers in the run in. Leaves a League Two winner and a key part of our stability in League One. Blackpool putting together a solid team. Thanks Jordan.”
Brown’s social media messages
Brown has also taken to social media himself to bid farewell to his former club – who he had been with since leaving Derby County in 2022.
“What a ride it’s been,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Thank you for all the memories during my time at the club, through all the ups and downs there are so many moments I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
“Thank you for your trust and belief in me from day one, gaffer, PT, Roycie, Macca, Nathan, Keats, Melv, Ada, Russ, and all the hard-working staff behind the scenes. I’ve learnt a lot that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my career.”
“I want to express my gratitude to my teammates for the memories we have created together; I will always cherish them, and it has been a joy to go to work each day.
“I will always be grateful to the supporters for their kind greeting to your club. Since you supported us through both the good and the bad, I’m heartbroken that we were unable to cross the finish line for you at Wembley. Thank you for everything.
After arriving to Bloomfield Road, he wrote in a post: “I’m excited to be here! Thank you very much for the kind welcome; I can’t wait to start the road ahead of us.
