Indeed but they are unbeaten in 6 games and I cannot see any of the teams at the bottom having that sort of form. Its very tight but equally there goal difference is much better than any of the team down there as well so that's basically another point.

From the number of tangerines that went down to London for the hearing I get the impression the fans think its a price worth paying?

Essentially, regardless of reasons and fairness, they are trading when insolvent - the club should have a much worse squad so they could afford to pay back the money they owe.  That's why the rule is there, to discourage people trading that way - the reality is you can't really tell owners like these that.  One of those moments where the short term pain may be worth it in the long run.

It was wrong when we got demoted and it’s wrong if they dock Blackpool points.

Offences off the pitch should be dealt with off the pitch.

If the FA/FL do decide to dock the club 12 points then please do it at the start of next season, thank you FL/FA.

Christ, talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place - some non-football perspective on the "good guy" in the Blackpool boardroom struggle:

In When Saturday Comes, there was an article about Chansiri at Sheff Wednesday trying to flog PL season tickets for when they get there. Non-refundable. £445 a go, or you can get a 10 year one for £3200 if you fancy.

Lunatic.

Oh boo hoo, Swindon aren’t doing very well so I’m going to stop going and go watch some other more successful teams instead or do something else

Pathetic

Actually, that’s harsh. Will edit

If/when Swindon town football clubs starts being competitive, winning games and making headlines for on the pitch achievements again, these fans will return and/or be replaced

Sunrise, sunset. Cats in the cradle and a silver spoon.
I quite like the first draft.

Thing is I recall from Twitter that a points deduction would take them down the  league but leave them outside the relegation zone, add into the mix that they are obviously a half decent side if they are mid table and thus should pick up more points than the teams they would find themselves competing with at the bottom, seems a reasonable price to pay to free themselves from the Oyston Yoke?

Most Blackpool fans would like to avoid the deduction but feel it's a very small price to pay if Oyston is out. It seems incredibly harsh to penalise a club which has not overspent and does not owe any money (it's the owners that owe Belokon, not the club)... But the laws around receivership have to be applied, meaning once again it is the EFL at fault for (a) not preventing the mess through proper legislation, (b) not sorting the mess out at any point over the last 5+ years, and (c) not having suitable flexibility in their own rules.

No wonder Harvey has decided to walk, no doubt hoping for a Scudamore-esque bonus. Good luck with that Shaun.

5 in a row! ⚰️

Apparently, they have reneged on their payment to Uncle Firoz. £800,000 pa

It gets better. Their previous Winding Up Order was for non payment to HMRC - an obvious oversight said the little Thai fella.

Tomorrow is the day for the next HMRC payment - VAT, NI, Income Tax etc.

Would rather it was MK but Pox is a close 2nd, more than anything because of the reaction of their fans when similar happened to us.

I will never forget that, the mirth and merriment on their forums etc. what goes around comes around.

 Power might have reduced us to 14th in Div 4, but at least we are seemingly reasonably OK in terms of debt. 

Oxford look like they've spunked money they haven't got to get out of their more rightful non league status, and now it's catching up with them.
