Im a bit confused why the fa have remained silent or not stepped in.

We know what FA stands for, don't we?

Because they must be seen to be as neutral and neutered on these sorts of occasions with every club in crisis.

 

[GreersElbow]

They appear to be doing their utmost to piss everyone affiliated to the club. Is it still Blackpool FC? If I were them, I'd be looking at doing an FCUM, walk away. Oystons will lose money in the long run.

Football Association.

Hope that helps.

 

[Philzo-93]

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Ever heard of Archer and Bellotti

 

[Megazone]

So Ched Evans can't play for a football club but Oyston can own one?

 

[Megazone]

Ever heard of Archer and Bellotti

Yes. Your point?

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Surely must be a reason the statue has been removed? Cleaning,repair work no? If not have Oyston stated why it has been removed, the plinth seems to be ok. There would be hell let loose at most clubs if the reason was not valid. Good luck Blackpool with your Fans day!

 

[goldstone68]

Good luck Blackpool on Fans Day, sorry I can't be there,

We're not in the prem yet, and United don't look like they're going to win the league. So, moan about the board.

 

[AlastairWatts]

Surely.... SURELY this is where the FA can step in and ask them to leave the club.

Doubt it. Remember what happened with our own struggles when the Goldstone was sold? The football authorities were supine and rolled over until it was almost too late. Dick Knight's book talked about producing a £500,000 'bond' when what was needed was support and help.

I presume that Blackpool fans are now getting more coordinated and are being careful what they put on their forums. Thought we had the worst with Archer but the Oyston's seem worse.

They haven't been silent, as there are 5 charges against Karl Oyston. Oyston later apologised for his part in the exchange, and it is understood his denial boils down to a reasonable expectation of privacy.
This is the same person who sued a pensioner for £20K for remarks made to just 34 friends on Facebook.

Anyone on the Middlesbrough forum? Might be nice to get the whole stadium chanting "Oyston out!". Maybe on 53 minutes.

 

[dingodan]

Oyston, who once texted a fan, 'I am a never-ending nightmare revenge mission,', has long been at war with Blackpool fans, and in one rant to Mr Smith, told him: "'Stop texting f******, you shouldn't have ever started as you are one tiresome f***** that should spot trains not watch football.

"Get a life and consider yourself banned from the stadium. You are banned because I think you are a p****.

"Impossible to have a meaningful conversation with such a f******* as you."

I don't want to get sued so I will just carefully suggest that I would probably not want him to be the chairman of my football club.
