Blackpool have done one...

Blackpool FC now in receivership after High Court ruling - EFL will have to decide on whether 12-point deduction is to be imposed. Ruling follows legal case against the Oystons by Latvian businessman Valeri Belokon over unpaid debts.

 

[What? A full dog?]

That's very big news to get virtually no media attention so far!

Seems to have been rather a slow uptake on the news, though I see it just came up as the BBC Sport headline.

As Oysten got to fork out £25m to the other chap...That's a coupon buster.

 

[City Man]

Good luck Bpool.

They have fought a long and and hard battle against their owners, with scant media coverage and the usual fence-sitting ****s who infest football journalism and the Football League hierarchy.

Disgusting bullying raping jailbird owners.

Shame on the ****s who run football who have allowed the parasitical Oystons to leech for so long on a well-respected old football club.

Go the lashers!

 

[Happy Tiger]

I thought the 12 points were a given when you end up in this situation?

 

[Baldrick's Cunning Plan]

It's at times like this you realise how lucky you are to have two streetwise business geniuses running your club.

 

[Amin Arrears]

The EFL and FA ought to answer to this. Above all the premier league who have ****ed football into the clusterfuck it is today. The bunch of useless ****s.

 

[Kempton]

They'll resurface like big clubs always do. Like we will do

probably a small price the blackpool fans are very willing to pay.

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

It seems that in Blackpool's case going into receivership is a positive, as they take the running of the club out of the hands of the Oyston's..

A sorry state of affairs, but great credit has to be given to the supporters who have fought a long and hard battle.

You must log in or register to see media

A 12 point deduction would still leave them above the relegation zone - just. I guess any Blackpool fan would take that right now. Rid of the Oystons and a real chance of maintaining League one status.

 

[Quill]

I think I'd definitely take receivership to rid us of those Egyptian cockwombles.

They will be absolutely fine stYing in league one. I would say their results would get a lift from this and move back up the league, no problem

On BBC north west, it said that it is not mandatory and the EFL can exercise discretion. They aren't meeting to discuss it till March. I think it should be waived in this case.

 

[Kempton]

Agreed, waive the points deduction

 

[Quill]

I'd take a 50 point deduction to rid us of the Allams.

If it happens, I think it's more likely the 12 points are a taken.

If we were given 12 points we'd be in the play-offs!
