da esport bet： There is not really much more that those associated with Blackpool football club can take.
da betsson： Rock bottom of the Championship, a team full of loans and cast-offs, a pitch that is one of (if not THE worst) in the whole of the Football League and a chairman who fails to see that anything is wrong.
Blackpool sit 17 points adrift of safety and are pretty much relegated, looking at the team’s dire league position only really scratches the surface of the problems at the club. After yet another defeat and dismal display by the Seasiders, fans were even further angered by this year’s annual accounts coming into the public eye, causing yet more bad publicity for the Lancashire club.
The team may be bottom of the league but the money – which has previously been described as “there for when we need it” – is soaring!
How this situation cannot be classed as “when we need it” goodness only knows. The annual accounts show that the club managed to make profits of nearly £10million, which is an increase on the on the previous year by £5.9million, despite the “parachute payments” from the glory year in the Premier League decreasing.
How can a team with this much money let themselves get in such a bad position?
When promoted into the Premier League in 2010 Blackpool fans chanted that it was the best trip they had ever been on – I bet none of them ever thought it would end up this bad. I know I didn’t.
Whilst things on the pitch have got worse since Blackpool were relegated in 2011, the real demise started with a 2-1 loss the year after at Wembley in the play-off final to West Ham. Since then there have been eight managers and over 100 players on short term contracts – a secure future has never been on the cards.
Karl Oyston used to class himself as a business man – not a football man – when he didn’t spend money in the transfer window and, for a while, it worked. Fans used to accept Oyston’s ways and were even proud that they were one of the only teams in the world not to be in hundreds of thousands pounds worth of debt.
But it’s now gone from one extreme to another. Oyston once described Blackpool as being “the envy of the football league.” Now they’re just a laughing stock.
Fans from other clubs pity Blackpool fans even Preston fans feel sorry for their rival’s supporters for way the club is going, which only makes the situation more depressing. Oyston might not be a football man but at the moment he isn’t a business man either, and sadly it doesn’t look like anything is likely to change.
Fans got excited at the knowledge that he is being investigated over his shocking texts that were sent to a fan but that, like at Leeds, doesn’t mean the end of the Oystons – it will just be passed to someone else in the family.
Pool fans’ only hope is that he one day very soon the Oyston family wake up and realise their mistake but, somehow, you have to wonder if they are now doing it out of spite.
