Its the Oystons who are liable. Hopefully they will need to sell the club to raise the cash.
A lot of Blackpool fans seem to be hoping that this will force the Oystons to put the club up for sale. Not sure quite how that works but it is a lot of money to find.
You worluld imagine it will go to an appeal now.

Not sure quite how that works but it is a lot of money to find.What muddies the waters is that part of the money to be paid is for the shares that Belokon owns. If the Oystons go bankrupt, where does that leave the ownership of all the shares in the football club? Do they all go to Belokon as the creditor (even though he has been banned from being a director of a football club himself), or does the club go into administration to be sold to pay Belokon from the proceeds of the sale?EDIT - and if, as I suspect, the administrators are called in presumably this will result in a points deduction..?
The referee was changed before today's game v Portsmouth, ostensibly because the EFL felt the game needed a more senior official (Jon Moss, who referees on the Premier League). However the original choice's name had caused much mirth on Social Media. His name? Ben Toner (or Bent Owner, if you prefer).
