Shambles

Following yet another shambolic moment in the car crash that is Blackpool FC, what will our beloved Chairman do now? If I was him, I'd be on the motorway down to Shrewsbury and pleading with Matt Williams to come back and offer him a hefty pay rise too!

Have to say, I wasn't his biggest fan as a manager, but great comments on Karl this morning. What do you say to that Karl?

The decline
at 17:29 3 Nov 2014

I don’t quite know what else can be said about Karl Oyston and his one-man destruction of a famous football club, so I’m not going to add to it here as I’m sure most fans know that I absolutely despise the way he is systematically destroying a community club after winning what was effectively a lottery when others brought Premier League success to the town. Instead I will allow a colleague at work to do it for me, and he supports Ipswich Town!
He was there on Saturday, and has in fact been to the last 3 meetings at Bloomfield Road supporting the Tractor Boys, meaning of course he attended the famous 6-0 hammering we gave his team just 2 short years ago. I remember him saying to me afterwards that the ground was ‘rocking’ and these were great times to be a Blackpool fan. This was the season after we’d failed to get back into the Premier League due to poor refereeing at Wembley against West Ham, but we were at that point possibly the best side in the Championship and almost odds-on to get back up automatically. Now fast forward two long and painful years under the astonishingly inept stewardship of a certain Karl Oyston…..

My friend firstly could not believe the number of empty seats in the ground and then was astonished at the total lack of atmosphere from our fans — even the protests are beginning to sound forced and rather lame. On the field of course we’ve gone from the most exciting team to watch in recent years to a side that is made up of a bunch of players who would not be able to get into a single other Championship side. The football is terrible too!

The fact that the club has lurched from one crisis to another has employed the media (and kept me busy) and kept others amused, has also proved how badly it is run, and I often say to these people that if at Wembley in 2010 I was told that within 4 years my club would be on its knees, I wouldn’t have believed that even Karl could achieve that — but he has.

I now have other supporters who just smile and sympathise with me when I mention Blackpool (and I try not to do that too often) and that is just not right. No matter how many times we’ve failed with managers and players, the fact is that there is just one man who is to blame. We know, and I genuinely think he knows too, that he is incapable of turning this round. Our only hope is for an aggressive takeover by our beloved Valeri, but that could take some time. At least I won’t have to listen to more Ipswich talk next seaon!
