Is it Daddy who was the upstanding rapist?

Yes. Would that have anything to do with him being unable to travel to Riga for talks?

Could do although it will probably be dressed up as for health reasons instead I'm sure. That and pride, why should I have to travel when it is my club and my town we are talking about which is kind of fair enough really.

It appears Riga has disappeared off to Belgium for the week without telling anyone:

Oyston slams Riga attitude
Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston admits he is 'bemused' by the actions of manager Jose Riga amid a disastrous start to the season for the Sky Bet Championship club.

After a sixth successive defeat this term, Riga returned to his native Belgium last week without notifying his employers - leaving Oyston clearly irritated.

"Until I've spoken to Jose personally, I don't want to comment about the speculation or go into it in too much detail," said the Seasiders chairman.

"However, I have to say I find myself slightly bemused yet again by the actions of our manager.

"He has said, on many occasions on the record, that he would use the international break to get the players up to fitness and to work with the squad we now have. The first thing the manager does is hop on a plane and clear off to Belgium for a week without telling anyone.

"Let's face it, we've lost every competitive game he's managed and these actions aren't the most professional way to get us out of this position. To hop on a plane without telling your employer or your colleagues isn't right. It's something I will be speaking to him about."

Several critics have questioned the fitness levels of the Blackpool squad, who played just two pre-season games over the summer. They host Wolves in their next Championship game on Saturday.

Burton manager Gary Rowett and former Bolton and Wigan boss Owen Coyle have both been linked with the Blackpool managerial job this week following the speculation over Riga's future.

How can you go from Premier League, OK by surprise to bring complete cack in 3 years. Also what is going on with their joke of a chairman. I do feel sorry for them, mainly as they aren't even competitive this season and they've done so well to get where they have. I can see them getting the worst points record ever for this division but that's neither the manager or the players fault. Thoughts people?

They have been asset stripped heavily!

Well it's a guaranteed 6 points for us... I bloody hope!

[Ouroboros]

Travel to Riga.... Jose Riga....

there's something fishy going on here.

[Reading4eva]

What's awful is that they were doing exceptionally well until recently and Oyston has gone absolutely crazy

[leww_rfc]

10 games in, no win.

[Winston Smith]

Any club that finishes below them this season will become legendary

[leww_rfc]

We have a habit of letting clubs break their streaks against us. Few quid on Blackpool to get their first win on October 25th.

[harry]

Any club that finishes below them this season will be

in administration

[gimmer]

[Brum Royal]

[Reading4eva]

We are gonna fcuk up against them. I can see it now.

That is typical Reading. We will then go and beat Norwich

[AthleticoSpizz]

And they were rewarded when Zoko drove past defender Sean Morrison and hammered a low strike past David Marshall in the Cardiff goal

Blackpools first win

Who's that Morrison bloke? He's always mentioned when Cardiff concede.

Would have thought there are rules against using cars on the pitch. Clearly a pedestrian performance from the ex-Royal.

[Royal Ginger]

Both pictures of the match on the BBC website show ex RFC players losing out.

[Winston Smith]

conceded 60 league goals so far, on track to concede 89 at that pace.

what chance a post relegation collapse in the last handfull of games helping to push that number to 3 figures
