At the end of the 2008–09 season, Euell, along with Bradley Wright-Phillips, were told that they do have a future at the club but would be offered a new contract on a vastly reduced terms. Instead, Euell didn't respond to the contract offered at the club, making him a free agent and departed the club in favour of joining Blackpool. Prior to his release in May, local newspaper Daily Echo predicted that Euell were amongst the players to leave, due to his then being the highest earner at the club.
