da imperador bet： As yet more bad news – or good, depending how you look at it – hits the press about Blackpool FC things could be looking up for the club, albeit marginally.
da roleta： The 1-1 draw against Leeds on Saturday means the Seasiders need four more points this season to ensure they don’t go down as the worst Championship team in history. That title currently belongs to Stockport County who, in the 2001/02 season, managed to collect only 26 points.
Securing this title of the ‘worst team in Championship history’ would only cement what many Blackpool fans are already aware: they are terrible. This week Blackpool has hit the press once again on a number of occasions; it has become a bit of a regular occurrence this season.
About 100 fans have been sent letters and temporarily been banned as the club investigates how many Leeds fans gained access into the home supporters stands for the match last Saturday. The second big headline concerning Blackpool was about controversial owner Karl Oyston. The FA have announced they will be charging Oyston for the shocking and inappropriate texts he sent to fans earlier in the season.
So with things already in such a mess at Bloomfield Road and relegation looking certain are Blackpool really the worst team in Championship history?

Let’s look at the stats, the Seasiders had won only 4 games this season with the previous manager Jose Riga (sacked in October 2014) and current manager Lee Clark only boasting a win rate of 18% – shocking for any club. They currently sit firmly at the bottom of the League on a goal difference of minus 48 having let in 78 goals. Even if they manage to get four points before the end of the season they will still be one of the worst teams ever in football history.
Many fans are embarrassed by the way the club has fallen from grace. Blackpool should be a solid Championship team but it has been turned into mess by one family. It’s hard to believe that it was only a few years ago that Blackpool were on the best trip they had ever been on surprising Premier League teams week in week out.
Just two seasons later and they are about to set a record no one really wants. Blackpool have the worst stats of any team in the Football League – not just the Championship – but when they started the season with just eight players it was never going to be the right sort of records that they would break.
I strongly expect most fans don’t really care if Blackpool become the worst team in Championship history. It will just be yet another bad thing that has happened. Now when stories break about Blackpool instead of being surprised about what is being said most they just shrug.
I am not saying the Tangerines have given up – far from it – but bad news is expected now and it’s just more ammunition. Blackpool don’t need to break an official record; they already know they are the worst team. It’s just a shame no one at the club seems to want to change that.
