Robbie cries Fowl as Blackpool offer Reds legend £100 a week
No deal: Robbie Fowler trained with Blackpool but will not be turning out for the Championship outfit
Blackpool failed to land Robbie Fowler after offering the striker just £100 a week.
Fowler looked set for a spell with the Seasiders after training with the club but was shocked when chairman Karl Oyston put his offer on the table.
The salary would have been topped up with £5,000 for every first-team appearance but Fowler, 36, is several weeks away from match fitness.
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway, who has 38-year-old Kevin Phillips and Brett Ormerod, 35, up front, said: 'Unless I can get things done and a deal done in a slightly different way, then he won't be coming. If it doesn't happen, I'll be disappointed, but such is life.'
Fowler established himself as one of the best finishers in the game during his Liverpool days and starred for Leeds and Manchester City before returning for a second spell at Anfield.
He played for Cardiff and had a brief stay at Blackburn before heading abroad.
Fowler turned out for North Queensland Fury and Perth Glory in Australia before signing for Thai outfit Muangthong United.
Hull and Doncaster have been linked with Fowler while Fleetwood were also weighing up an ambitious bid for the former England international.

Those players in the S League must think they are better than Fowler since they are paid more than him.

Fowler scoffs at £90-a-week offer
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler looks set to reject Blackpool's advances after they offered him a £90-a-week deal.
Fowler: would need to play full 90 (minutes) to get full appearance bonus
The Daily Mail reported that the 36-year-old had turned down an offer of a £5,000 appearance bonus and just £100 per week if he did not play.
But Fowler, who has been without a club since leaving Thai side SCG Muangthong United in January, spoke out on his Twitter account.
"Actually it was £90, but would need to play full 90 (minutes) to get full appearance bonus...," he tweeted.
Seasiders boss Ian Holloway claimed on Wednesday that he would be disappointed if the deal could not be completed.
He said: "Unless I can get things done and a deal done in a slightly different way, then he won't be coming. If it doesn't happen, I'll be disappointed, but such is life."

Such disrespect to a once great player. He is old and injured before, now he might be quite sucky (no offence) but still you shouldnt treat him like this lah. £100 a week cant even support his own living leh.
