Hello, a bit of an update for those interested.
Oyston stills owes in the region of £25m to Belokon as a result of the court ruling over a year ago. As payment has not been forthcoming, there will be a further court hearing mid Feb with a view to appoint a Court Receiver. Such a person will have the authority to seize the assets of the Oystons including the Football Club.
Such an action is unprecedented in English football and could possibly incur a 12 point deduction similar to cases that have gone into Administration. Pools odds on relegation have plummeted from 66/1 to 5/1 in the last week.
Meanwhile the EFL continue to do SFA.

Hope this pushes him out. Assume many fans would take the points deduction is it meant he and his family were gone.
I don't see a 12 point deduction as inevitable. A lot would happen on how the Court Receiver dealt with the situation.
Good luck to Blackpool fans

Blackpool currently has 38 points with 20 games still to play.
They are a pretty useful team this season, as we can see by beating Charlton plus Portsmouth away in recent weeks.
Top 6 would seem to be beyond them now but surely they've too much in their locker and would pull clear of any relegation places that administration could artificially place them in?
If it meant they could finally get the chance to start afresh with new owners, this is the season that won't affect any prospects of their promotion or relegation.
They've waited long enough. Let's hope it now works out for them.
Ah damn I see @cafcnick1992 beat me to it. You bastard!
Maybe she could tell me if a 4 or a 5 is best
Wanky post in my eyes
I can honestly say that this past few challenging years for us have at the very least allowed me to meet and get to know both Blackpool and Coventry fans.
Last season, despite the game being called off at short notice, was a memorable one for both @Badger and I as we remembered Jimmy Armfield. A good friend Phil Tebbutt passed away the week after and was buried in a Tangerine coffin, he was a Hertfordshire Seasider too from WGC, its very sad that he didnt get to see a post Oyston Blackpool as he wished.
But if you want to have a laugh back at him, consider that his biz involves provision of road transport from the UK across the channel...
And he voted Brexit :-)

I could bring you a copy of "The Bureau" the French modern spy series for le Carre afficianodos. Puts the drummer girl firmly in her place, even if it is a bit, er, foreign.
