Fair enough. They were owned by asset strippers in the mould of Bill The Cnt Archer. Why should the real supporters suffer any more?

Blackpool’s attendance on Saturday was 15,871, almost quadruple the 4,003 who watched the last league match there a month ago under the Oyston’s. Great to see that.

Criminal proceedings could follow later if the Receiver found; fraud, negligent or deliberate trading, preferential treatment of a creditor, breach of the Companies Act, etc, etc.

The receiver has been appointed to take control of all company/ies assets including cash. They’ll run through the correct order of creditors to see who can be repaid. That will take quite a long time. If there’s an insufficiency, inevitably some will lose out. Separately, if the Oyston’s...
