My recollection of the Rufus sending off was that it was a 50:50 tussle in the box with a player who was nicknamed something like the wolfman.It was a very harsh decision and a foreunner of the bias against smaller clubs in the prem, which has never been addressed. Cue the dissallowed goal at Anfield

I don't recall a disallowed goal at Anfield, what you might be thinking of was the referee stopping play for a foul on Robinson milliseconds after he put Andy Hunt clean through with just the keeper to beat.
Rufus got sent off at Newcastle after a tussle with Dabizas (sp), their Greek centre back who made the most of whatever contact there was. I think the wolfman was De Wolfe the Dutchman who played for Wolves. One of our centre backs, can't remember but it probably was Rufus, got sent off in a similar incident up there. As I remember, De Wolfe was the size of a skyscraper and he went down as if he'd been machine gunned. Happily, he was fit and well as soon as a red card came out, to the relief of everyone....

You're dead right, I remember it now. We always had a bit of a disaster at Wolves in those days.
Basically sounds like he wanted to run a tight ship financially and try to live in the real world, but his fellow Blackpool executives want to follow the tried and tested Hull model.
Pity, I quite admired the stand he was taking and was hoping the rest of football might catch on.
