DJ Campbell enhanced his prospects of earning a move to Blackpool and landing Tony Parkes the manager`s job on a permanent basis with the only goal in a 1-0 win at Swansea.
The on-loan Leicester striker slotted in after 13 minutes for his ninth of the season and third in four games to earn the Seasiders an eighth away win of the campaign at the Liberty Stadium.
Keith Southern headed wide from six yards as Blackpool, who sealed survival under caretaker boss Parkes, went close to a second.
Jason Scotland, Swansea`s top scorer, had three second-half chances in quick succession, but could not add to his tally of 21 league goals this term.
The striker fired straight at Blackpool goalkeeper Paul Rachubka after 68 minutes and immediately after had a close-range effort blocked before shooting wide moments later.
But Blackpool held on to finish 16th, eight places behind Swansea.

I have just got back from Swansea and I have to say I have never seen such poor refereeing in all my life. Nearly all the decisions went against us. At one point I saw the lino making cheeky little hand gestures to the Swansea players and then giving decisions against us. It was shocking!!! However little old 11 man Blackpool managed to overcome the fact that Swansea were playing with an extra 3 men.
To next season
