Blackpool manager Simon Grayson has revealed he is still waiting to hear what kind of spending power he will have in the summer transfer market.

Grayson is yet to hold talks with club president Valeri Belokon or chairman Karl Oyston but admitted that he is already planning for next season.

"There's been no figures bandied around yet," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We're always looking at players who may be available and we've got lists of who we want to bring to the club."

"Swansea are a big team and there's three or four other teams who could come up.

"We know it's going to be difficult, but we're trying to back our players all the time," added Grayson. "I've just got to make the right decisions that I've got players who will make us better next season."
