"BLACKPOOL fans are celebrating after the High Court ordered an official receiver to seize control of the club - even though they face being hit with a 12-point penalty by the EFL. The ruling in favour of ex-Blackpool chairman Valeri Belokon effectively brings to an end the ownership of the Oyson family at Bloomfield Road - a regime hated by the fans. The club's supporters have increasingly opted to boycott turning up for matches because they refused to hand over any of their money to the Oystons. The receiver has been asked to discharge the assets of Blackpool Football Club Ltd, which owns the club, stadium, training ground and the Travelodge on the site. It means all the assets will be stripped from the Oyston family control and effectively forcing them out in the cold. But the move also threatens to derail the club's push for promotion back to the Champions this season. Under EFL rules, the league have the power to deduct points of clubs who going into insolvency arrangements, which Blackpool are now under."
