We need the Blackpool supporter who posts on NSC about these matters.
It would be fantastic if the Oyston’s were finally booted out.

This club have been "in crisis" for so long that it defies belief. The day the Oystons sever all ties and the club can be taken over by fans or people who care for Blackpool FC will be a victory for football.
Just makes me feel sad for fans of the club but glad that we have Tony Bloom as owner.

I've just had a text exchange with a Blackpool supporting mate who is part of the Supporters Trust - he says he may be going to his first home game for 4 years on the 23rd so that sounds pretty positive. I'm trying to get further insight from him.
A Bill Archer stuck to the soles of their shoes, that won’t go away.
Hopefully this marks the start of a new beginning for the club without any involvement whatsoever from the Oystons

A Receiver has been put in. I posted two tweets about it earlier.

This.
And no doubt the EFL will be crowing about how pleased they are that under their excellent stewardship a positive outcome has been obtained. Like how they helped us when Archer decided to sell the Goldstone. If Edmund Burke were alive today he'd be turning in his grave....
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Edit: and if he were alive today he'd say 'people' not 'men'.

What a bunch of *****. Hope Blackpool can finally rid themselves of these scumbags.

They have. The Receiver has been called in.

Actually, although Burke is often quoted as saying this, what he actually said was: "No man, who is not inflamed by vain-glory into enthusiasm, can flatter himself that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavours are of power to defeat the subtle designs and united Cabals of ambitious citizens. When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
That's more akin to Benjamin Franklin's "We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately" than how it's usually interpreted.
I must admit, I prefer the less wordy version.
Well, yes, much more succinct - but it's not Burke's

He actually said 'If I don't like what you post then I'll put you IGNORE '
Many thanks for that. Yes, you're right - a little more nuanced.
A litle less nuanced, but nevertheless lovely, is this:

Oystons ousted as high court brings in the receiver at Blackpool
Yeah, seems to be great news for the club
Let's hope Blackpool get a decent owner now - the northern equivalent of a Tony Bloom

You'd hope so. But they don't exactly have a good track record on such things.
I have genuinely every sympathy for the Blackpool fans, but I disagree entirely. The receivers are in, debt is going to end up unpaid - there absolutely should be a deduction. Otherwise it sets a terrible precedent. We cannot have the football authorities setting themselves up as arbiters of what constitutes a 'good' or bad' receivership.
I'd say the same, even if the 12 points would relegate them. As things stand though, a potential 12 point drop takes Blackpool from 6 points outside the play-offs, to 2 points above the bottom 4. They have a side better than those down there though, and would surely climb to mid-table in a few weeks - especially with the feel good factor of the crowds coming back in.
Best of luck to them.
