Wasn't it the same shit owners that got them to the PL and then to play-off final?
No-one gives a fuck about the owners when teams do well.... Just ask the Man Utd fans

I think they were the last team to escape without a point deduction, the rules/penalties were changed because of what they did.

Only one man got Blackpool to the Premier league.... Ian Holloway. He spent £500k on Charlie Adam, and £4k on a defender, and practically had to beg Oyston for the money. The Oyston's have been hated by Blackpool fans since well before that promotion.

Just for the record.... It wasn't even the Oyston's that financially backed the buying of the 2 players bought to push for promotion to the Premier league and 3 years prior.

@ Ian1779...... In 2007 they were promoted to the second tier. Three years later, after financial backing from new club president Valeri Belokon, Blackpool were, for the first time, promoted to the Premier League. After this promotion, Belokon was frozen out of day-to-day involvement, he claims because the Oystons no longer needed his financial backing.[SUP][3][/SUP] Blackpool remained in the top tier for one campaign, and after failing to return from the Championship at the first attempt, they have finished no higher than 15th, with Oyston employing four different managers since 2013. In 2015, Blackpool were relegated to the third tier for the first time since 2007.

I'd like to play in the championship with the many big clubs who reside there. Leeds and Forest or Bournemouth and Swansea

Did I say it was superb? Think you are making a lot of assumptions about what was a relevant point.
In fact - if the Oyston's were as bad as it appears - why were people not banging on about them when they hit the PL? Maximum exposure and all that?
They didn't because no one gave a shit at the time. That's the point. Man Utd fans only start banging on about the Glaziers when they are doing shit - not a word when Ferguson won the title last time he did.

For a while during the dark days of Sixfields I thought there was a real possibility the fans might abandon the club en masse to such a degree that a rival AFC Wimbledon-style club might make sense. Thankfully that never happened, but it made me realise: the thing that really matters to me is there being a club in Coventry playing in sky blue, that they be financially sustainable, with good investment in youth talent and (ideally) playing decent football. Assuming all of these, the league this team plays in wouldn’t matter so much. So long as SISU are in the picture I fear that these things are always in jeopardy, even if we were promoted as far as the Premier League, but with luck they will learn enough about longterm ownership of a football club that they see the value in these things.
Teams like Bournemouth going all the way up, and Villa coming down shows that the rules aren’t fixed and nobody has a right to be anywhere. I’d say we’re a big enough team (historically) to at least justify being in the Championship, but we have to earn that right again.

Do you actually read other peoples posts? Or do you just drone on and on without researching? Be a good lad and re-read my posts that actually contain facts about Blackpool FC and owners(Oystons) and the actual person who paid out any money in the 3 years pre promotion to the premier league, but I don't think you will, you're living in your Grenduffy-esque world of "My point is the only one that matters.

You'd get good odds on that.

Playing Leeds or Forest would be an improvement on 4 years in League 1.
You don't go to matches mind so the never ending tv coverage of the PL would suit you. The whole 'brand' is designed with armchair and overseas 'customers' in mind.

It's not ridiculous. 25 years goes in the blink of an eye. It's nearly 30 years since we won the FA Cup.

Next season Mowbray may not be here. Did you read the thread about the 20 players out of contract in the summer? No, next season we start from scratch again with half a dozen under contract players plus an assortment of has-beens, loans and youngsters.

It wasn't happening at the time. Another backer was bankrolling the promotion drive, a man who later ended up suing Oyston for improper use of funds (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-34268761). Sky Blue Kid covered it all in the post before.
