Answer
The answer lies in Blackpool's dismal performance throughout the 2010-2011 Premier League season. Despite starting promisingly with back-to-back victories, the club's inconsistency proved their undoing. With a series of poor results, financial strain, and the resignation of manager Ian Holloway, the situation went from bad to worse. Consequently, Blackpool's tenure in the top flight came to an abrupt end with relegation back to the Championship.
