Blackpool had their day in the premiership and once they are relegated and their parachute payments run out then they'll be in the bottom leagues for years to come.
Home gates of 12,000 at the moment I believe and will drop in more if they relegated this season. Unsustainable for a club like Blackpool to compete in the championship in future as even their infrastructure is really poor.

It doesn't help their chairman siphons any money they do bring off to his father's companies too.
People have a go at foreign owners but they're an example of local owners that are only out to make a buck from their club.
I think they should be forced to repair their pitch though. It's embarrassing to see a swamp like that in such a big league.

I read somewhere that their owner 'Owen Oyston' paid himself £12 million last season out of the parachute money, now I don't know the in's and outs of their club and dealings but it sounds rather like Portsmouth all over again.
Most owners are the same now days, out to make a quick buck. We're lucky we have a stanch Albion fan as chairman whos family have been on the board for decades.
And you're right about the pitch, Jesus Christ, what do they hold there on non football days? The Donkey derbys.

I read that the "Blackpool FC Hotel" that's next door to the stadium was built using parachute payments but is owned by the Oyston family as well.
Looking at the sums they got for the players they sold when they came down too. They spent bugger all on players and I can't imagine the wage bill's very high.
I know Vincent Tan's nuts and should never have been allowed to rebrand Cardiff but I feel lucky having him rather than Venkys or the Oystons.

If Carl oyston leaves Blackpool he leaves them in the comfort zone of not being in debt, whereas with us, if tan was to jump ship at the minute, we would need a serious wealthy backer to stabilise us
