The 2015-16 campaign was an agonizing season of decline and descent for Blackpool, culminating in a crushing 22nd-place finish in League One and a second consecutive relegation, plummeting The Seasiders into the fourth tier of English football just five years after their Premier League adventure. The year was defined by a toxic atmosphere, with relentless fan protests against the Oyston ownership overshadowing the on-field struggle. Despite the turmoil, Mark Cullen fought bravely, netting 9 goals to finish as the club's top scorer in a campaign that remains a bitter chapter of their modern history.
