Blackpool are eighth in League One but could face a deduction of 12 pointsThe English Football League say they will work with the newly-appointed receivers of Blackpool to ensure the club fulfil their fixtures this season. David Rubin & Partners are due to be confirmed as receivers of the League One side this week. Blackpool were put into receivership by the High Court last week, forcing owner Owen Oyston to pay ex-director Valeri Belokon the £25m he is owed. "We hope to find a solution that will deliver the stability that will benefit the club going forward," EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said. It is reported he will be asked to discharge some of Oyston's assets, plus those of Blackpool Football Club (Properties) Ltd - which owns the football club, stadium, training ground and nearby Travelodge.
