The slimy bastards will probably get away with it, but it would be rather splendid if they lost.

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

I truly hope they don't get away with it, I think if they lost there would be a whole lot of celebrating going on.

It's amazing to think that there are worse owners than our Egyptian ****s.

Jurassic Park.

 

[Evington]

Great news.

 

[Mr Hatem]

I've always disliked estate agents.

 

[pierredelafranchesca]

Does this, or will this, benefit Blackpool fans in any way? Or does it simply mean even less cash for the club and the possibility of darker times ahead?

It gets better...

Blackpool FC: Judge has refused the Oystons leave to appeal his judgment. They will have to apply to the Court of Appeal for right to appeal.

I think it depends if wants to go ahead with the £31m purchase of Belekon's shares, as ordered by the court, or if he'll now try and do a deal where he ends up giving the club to Belekon instead.

Sadly many Blackpool fans have become apathetic about football in general now, Obviously they'll get an attendance boost if the ****ers **** off but they've lost quite a few fans for good i think.

Wonder how many city fans won't bother anymore even if Allams go.
