Has this bloke taken some legal advice? I don't know what he wrote, but I can't believe any judge would award £20K for a bit of a rant on Facebook, especially against a pensioner.

He should use the money raised to get a good lawyer. This is a classic case of bullying by people who can afford expensive lawyers, in the knowledge that they can't afford to fight it.

I'd have gladly donated until I realised that I would be actually giving money directly to the odious son of the convicted rapist Owen Oyston.

Now that's a moral dilemma...

It was an out of court settlement , so i would imagine he would have had advice to settle from a lawyer already ?

I'm having the same dilemma. I'd much rather be paying for the man's lawyer to fight such a ridiculous claim.

 

[maltaseagull]

Would be happy to contribute to legal costs but not to pay for an out of court settlement.

Sorry, but what was he thinking?

 

[Megazone]

Why has your club not tried this?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

This Oyston character is really starting to make my piss boil now.
I will do what I can.
Have the FA or whoever not learnt any lessons from us and others.
Frightening stuff coming out of Bloomfield Road and Blackpool are such a big name.
Crap pitch though.

Chopper crap pitch because the Tosser refuses to invest any money. His son who runs the hotel (went in there as manager with no apparent hotel experience, and I presume is on decent salary) had his dog Sat in the ticket office (behind the counter) the other day. Also apparently someone tweeted this week that he was walking his dog on the pitch! How true who knows bit his mates and him have posted various pics sunbathing on the pitch at various times . Check Sam oyston out on Twitter.

Sums up the whole situation.

As for legal advice, u run the risk of massive bills and losing everything as its fighting against someone with 100m

But cheers chaps for all ure support.... I really think this will be there downfall

 

[clippedgull]

If the case is dropped what happens to the money raised?

It's paid already. Oystains have already got 20k off the life long pool fan

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Good luck with the campaign. The Oyston family are an obnoxious bunch who have no right to be anywhere near the running of a football club. The are on a par with Archer and Bellotti. They have been around Blackpool FC far too long. I've made a small donation to help this man. No fan should have to go through that.
