Looks like they might have got a result in finally getting rid of the Oystons from the club (albeit could go to a tribunal), as it looks they will probably have to sell the club
Time to take stock and not over react one way or the other but at times like these it’s often best to be careful what you wish for IMHO

Said a lot more diplomatically than I ever could.RFC is definitely a bot, this seals it.
Hopefully this is the end of them and the start of a domino effect.

hasn't the Lithuanian guy who they owe money to wanted to buy the club for a while? Maybe they could give it to him as settlement. I believe he was involved before and is fairly well liked among their support.
Hmmm.....£31m > Blackpool FC.
it might be the only way he gets what he's owed, (or anything approaching it).
I believe he wants control of the club back.
To be honest, I don't know that much about him......but I believe the Oystons are very rich & very spiteful......I can see them punishing the club even further over this.
If I was the Lithuanian geezer, I'd get the courts to make them pay my £31m ASAP......then rescue the club from whatever sorry state the current owners leave it in....
The Directors of Blackpool Football Club and Blackpool Football Club Properties are now in a position, following the conclusion of litigation, to market for sale Blackpool Football Club Limited and Blackpool Football Club Properties Limited.
Blackpool FC Club Statement
I've got relatives who've been waiting for the Oystons to fuck off, good week for them.
Great for them and fair play to the fans who have stood by their guns by boycotting and their actions have added to this decision no doubt. Shame most of ours at home games couldn't do the same but as someone else said I think the key date for us is the JR2 when hopefully we get rid of this cancer.
And I'm still not convinced it'll go as smoothly as people hope.their homes gates matched if not exceeded ours. There were buyers wanting to take over the club but the Oystons refused to sell.
Their decision to sell now has been taken purely due to the 31 million they were ordered to pay by the courts this week, nothing to do with any boycott.

Yes they almost managed to stay up too, that would of been some storyAt least Blackpool got a promotion and a swashbuckling year in the Prem for their troubles.
In fairness, for all Sisu and TF's faults, they are on a different planet to convicted rapist Owen Oyston. They may have ruined a football club but they haven't genuinely ruined anyone's lives.

£30 million now where have I heard that before???????Blackpool have been put up for sale by the Oyston family.
The Seasiders confirmed the decision in a statement on Friday afternoon, which follows a High Court ruling against the Oyston family, who were ordered to pay £31.27million to former club president Valeri Belokon.
