no balls Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Maybe the Football League will got off their arses and do something about it if this keeps on happening. "Fit and proper person test" anyone? They either carry on as they are, heading to oblivion while Oyston keeps his ill gotten gains, or the fans try to do something about it. Something other than moaning or sounding superior on a fans' forum I mean. Time and a place, maybe? There's a consortium trying to buy the club, fair play to them. If they've got their heads together and got a viable plan. There's also a dozen cockends running on an non league pitch during a game. It might make me sound superior to think one is a preferable course of action but I'd like to think it is because I've got half a brain. Quote
davidjack Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Those 'cockends' may be lifelong fans who've put thousands into the club for all you or I know. Yes, they might have done it at the end or start or whatever, but Oyston has made it clear he's going nowhere without a fight. People are going to have to be inconvenienced for the football authorities to be forced to intervene. Which they could. They've barred other folk from running clubs (Leeds)... so why not the cockend that's 'running' Blackpool? Quote
frank_spencer Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 The pitch invasion last game of the season I understand and support the fans for. This one is the act of petulant children. Quote

So the other clubs who will pay the fines will be comforted by the fact you think it's ok they'll be inconvenienced and out of pocket. Good grief. Quote
Carlos Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 So, an owner failing to invest in a squad means they are suddenly to be removed by the Football League? Get to fuck. Quote
davidjack Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 You know and I know it's rather more than a failure to invest in the squad that's behind their anger. Quote
Guest Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Football clubs are privately owned businesses. No matter how many idiots think otherwise the fans do not own or have any rights on a football club. Oyston can do what he wants and the fans can protest if they like, but ultimately it isn't going to stop Oyston doing what he likes. He doesn't have an obligation. Quote

You know we must all be right when even me and bwfcfan5 agree Quote
snowball Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 You know we must all be right when even me and bwfcfan5 agree Was thinking it was first time I had agreed with WW's very own Labour Party spokesman. Running on the pitch AWAY from home(especially at a local non league ground who had invited you for a friendly, minimum security laid back atmosphere supposedly) is the act of spoiled brats and yes I reckon they would be at the shallow end of the gene pool. No solidarity with knob heads here. Do the protest at home and might think different. Quote
freds dad Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Walking away and giving up millions is not Oystons' style. Owen sold his estate agency ro Royal Insurance for £35when insurance companies were falling over themselves to buy, and then bought it back for £1 (or maybe £2). I suspect they see the development venue of the site as giving a better return. Is there anything in the agreement when they amalgamated with the former South Shore FC and took on use of the ground which will allow the relatively new and unconnected South Shore to maintain football use? £34 is not really a huge profit in the scheme of things.

MalcolmW Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 £34 is not really a huge profit in the scheme of things. Oops ... £35M, of course. Quote
Guest pansyroadwhite Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Bwfcfan5 your right of course in the legal sense, but I think he may have a moral obligation, a football club to a fan isn't like any other business its a love affair with ups and downs, what these fans are doing may not change anything but I do understand the frustration they feel.

gonzo Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Hearing the court cases against 2 supporters have been/are being dropped. In court yesterday a judge apparently slammed the whole affair and said the only purpose being served was running up solicitor fees. He apparently told Oyston to grow up and stop listening to his legal team! Quote
gonzo Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Blackpool's match against morcambe cancelled over safety concerns. Not only do they now not have any players or grass,they don't even matches play haha Quote

Every business owner has some sort of "moral obligation" to its customers. There is a difference between saying what Oyston does is right and acknowledging that the fans protesting only hurts the club further. They weren't moaning when they were winning play-offs at Wembley and playing Man Utd were they? Football fans seem to struggle dealing with ups and downs and always want to blame someone. I don't think what Oyston is doing is right at all, but only way to change that is to get someone to buy him out. Quote

They've a right to moan when the money made from that venture was pocketed and loaned to the families company. As I've said a million times in this thread,this is a hell of a lot more than a mere fall from grace. It's fucking criminal. A deilberate running down/sabotage of a football club. Quote
davidjack Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Well said gonzo. Rivalries should be put aside over stuff like this. Quote

But it isn't about running down a club, its about making money out of it. I don't condone what Oyston is doing at all. But running onto to pitches for pre-season friendlies ain't any better. Quote
