And still if the Oyston's decide they don't want to sell, what's the alternative?
Rigo, how can you possibly say "I refuse to get into Oyston bashing" and then go on to virtually condoning their behaviour, when all the evidence is stacked against them?Surely any decent football fan would recognise how badly the Oyston family have acted during their tenure of Blackpool FC? If the Blackpool fans oppose them, surely that's a pretty good indicator?Or do you know better?
I'm not condoning, or condemning, anyone. I'm only pointing out that the club has had success during their ownership of it - a bit more than your average lower league club, too.Maybe, if Blackpool fans decamp en masse to AFC Fylde and they become the 'big' club in that region, that will make the Oyston Family think differently about their ownership in the long-term. Who knows?

So you don't think that some dodgy business practices were going on at DRFC in the same era, and quite probably the majority of other clubs in the league?The problem is Blackpool achieved against the odds and then rapidly declined, which meant everyone started falling out with each other, chucking solicitors letters about, and they became more newsworthy for off-field events, rather than on-field events.
Anyway, again, if Karl Oyston's so bad, why is he regarded so highly by the Football League?
