Why have the feeble Football League let Blackpool hit rock bottom?
Now they can get involved. A brief statement from the Football League said they will rule on whether Blackpool's match with Huddersfield Town should be replayed. Seriously, why bother?
There really isn't much point holding a rerun. Open the gates and the same level of protest might be repeated. And what difference would reconvening behind closed doors make, beyond satisfying completists in the fixture department? They could award the game to Huddersfield Town by the standard 3-0 scoreline but besides filling all the columns in the league table, the effect would be redundant.
Blackpool are down anyway. Long gone. What is one more defeat in a season full of them? Deducting points in League One would just seem to punish those who have suffered enough: the fans.
The Seasiders had already been relegated to League One prior to Saturday's Championship clash
The irony is that the Football League are now having to consider how to deal with Blackpool having been deaf to their plight all season. The official line, however, will not change. It is not for administrators to tell any owner how to run his club.
If Karl Oyston's intention is to as good as let Blackpool rot, there is nothing the Football League can do. No rules govern crass executive behaviour or the absence of ambition. Everyone is free to be the owner they want to be: including a rotten one.

They'll play it behind closed doors and possibly a la Man Utd in the 70's play it at Plymouth (LoL) but as you say who cares?
What is important is what the fans do next - The War and Battle for BFC is well and truly under way I urge everyone to get involved otherwise we are truly a dodo finished off by KoKO | | | |

Field a weakened side and they dive in,saying the competition is being degraded. What's the difference to what we've fielded all season? | | | |
