The supporters win at last but I'm still not convinced that the Oystons will try to stitch them up somehow with who they sell to. I hope not but they are vindictive enough.

The fans are apparently rejoicing but my thought is be careful in what you wish for!
I cant help but wonder how much they are worth? They are debt free so a buyer would just have to cough up the asking price I presume?
And it will be interesting to see how much it affects their attendances, are their boycotters going to flood back in droves (I suspect not)
If and when it happens I think it will give us a much clearer picture of our plight

"They are debt free" Oh that we had been bought by the Oystons in 2010.

Not only that but before they were bought by the Oystons they were skint, playing in a dangerous shed (only when the wind allowed) in the bottom division. The Oyston years have seen their ground redeveloped and the team play in the Premier League.

I am told by someone close to the Oyston that their legal bill (including that of belekon) tops £9M. The overall bill, before interest at Bank of England rate, is £40M+.

tbh I've never met him Al so I can't really comment. I can't imagine Balckpool FC would still be a league club but for the Oystons though. No doubt Abbey would swap him in an instant with our lot.

I've a mate who socialises with him regularly and he thinks he's fine.... if a little ruthless in business. Most people in business will recognise a touch of ruthlessness as being an asset btw.;)

A definite softening of your attitude there Abbey. You'd have swapped the venkymob for a re-incarnated Bob Lord at one time! :cool:

I just hope the Club survives. Ending the boycott will make little difference apart from sending out a positive message to any potential new investor. It looks like Belokon wants his money regardless of the Club, I cannot blame him.

I came across Owen O many years ago when he went to a Labour Party (sorry, I have grown up) event at Manchester Town Hall, all the Labour Luvvies were swanning around him. Yuk yuk yuk.

It should survive as in the past Karl Oyston would never allow much debt to build up.

Valeri Belokon’s application to have a Court Receiver appointed to recoup the £25m he is still owed by Oyston is expected to be heard in the High Court February 11th-13th.

Nice Valentine gift from Valeri.

I would expect the application by Belokon to be agreed without any problems. OwenO has been trying to raise cash by selling numerous assets including the house my Brother rented from him, he appears to have had little success to date with property sales.

It will be good to see Blackpool FC under decent ownership again.
