    Apparently, he's leaving Blackpool today.

    You can't really blame him.

    Just shows what can happen. They were a thriving team up until their flirtation with the Prem. Since then Oyston has lost interest and the club have imploded.

    I'm assuming he is trousering the parachute payments and as soon as they are gone he'll walk.

    Weird he's leaving now, he's done the hardest part. Unless he doesnt want an inevitable relegation on his CV when he really cant be blamed.

    How much has his stock fallen? I suppose its a no lose job for him really - 20 players signed in a few weeks, none of them his choice. If they go down its expected and not his fault but if they stay up he's a genius.

    The Owen Coyle that deserted Burnley, and then was subsequently sacked by both Bolton and Wigan. Him and Oyston sound like a match made in heaven, or, if you're a Tangerines fan, made in hell.

    Not a surprise really, I heard Owen Coyle on the radio recently and he praised Oyston say what a good job he was doing rebuilding the club, even though they had only 8 players at that time.

    Maybe he thought they were simply entering the Goalz league and not the football league :)

    It's sad. Coyle is about right. Feel sorry for the supporters.
