Still OK but as Secretary of BST feels it's not appropriate to post on here in a personal capacity.

Cue posts saying he's changed his name and is having a go at them.

Then he's seriously got his values wrong. AVFTT is far more important than being secretary of a fans club.
Only joking. Hope he's well and enjoying his new role. I daresay he can't resist a peek on here every now and then.

Wiz

He has changed his username a few times and continued to make frivolous accusations against me and he bullied me in his role of moderator.

Happy to discuss with yourself or Robbie.

Wiz

He continued to post under his old username long after he became BST secretary.

He changed his username and some of his posts were deleted and amended at some point.

He has changed - or added another one ? - his username again since.

I particularly liked his green shoots post.
He backed the wrong horse for a long time but has redeemed himself in my eyes and his posts on the court case were exceptionally good.

I can't say I was a fan of his green shoots post, they were in line with his plea for patience nonsense when the Oyston's were in the process of raping the club.

I totally agree with you in that he redeemed himself but not because of the quality of his court reports*, he was perfectly entitled to express the views that he did on the Oyston stewardship of the club.

Of course, he couldn't have been more wrong if he had tried but the views that he expressed were certainly not abhorrent and people could have disagreed but they wouldn't have been offended by his views.

* Edit to add - I was not suggesting that there was anything wrong with his reports on the court case, I just meant he shouldn't be continually pillared for his previous stance on the Oyston's. Like everybody else I enjoyed reading his reports from the court.
 
There was some great threads where he come across like he was losing the plot a bit in his absolute staunch defence of the Oystons against everyone on here. If all else failed he would just claim his view is superior due to the fact he attends more games.

Under which username; I can only imagine it being the official Blackpool Supporters Trust one?

I've not seen his style as an individual on here in a while, which is a shame as he was always balanced; and of course he changed his mind, it's the sign of a mature adult.

Meanwhile, I thought there were remarkable similarities to the poster formally known as Plumber, in a thread the other day on the evil that is the FSA (unknown or something similar), but no, the poster said not.

Laziest person ever in the Civil Service. Wiz is doing his best to surpass him though having to go on past 60 instead of taking very early retirement at a mere 50.🤣🤣

Trammo, got my pension when I left the CS after 40 years (boy and man😉). Then got another job for 8 years.😄
 
I have it on good authority that a Bury Fc fans group have him locked in a cellar as a gimp after he was prepared for them to go bust, if he got his way on the EFL.

If only it was true …. Instead he is allowed near football governance with that view he had on another club.

….obviously if you think it’s ok for Bury to go bust to get what you want then it is ok for Blackpool - otherwise you are a hypocrite.

👍👍

Ts

Too many for me to list and I wouldn't know them all.

TomGxPool is certainly one of them but I could be spelling it incorrectly.

I thought Nameless was Plumbs to, he might be but as I posted on another thread at the time, if basilrobbie can start up new usernames as he pleases then why can't everybody else ?

I know that I would be blocked immediately if I was to try and post under a different username and probably by Robbie himself.

I don't know whether Nameless is/was Plumbs.

Bit harsh to have a pop at Bazzle when 99% of the board defended the Oystons for so very very long.

'well I like Karl's moral stance on agent fees...'

Let's not rewrite AVFTT history and throw a couple of well known posters under the bus to make us all feel better.

I can only talk for myself.

I am not criticising Robbie for his views on the Oyston's, I am saying that he continually abused his position when moderating on here and was not open and honest.

Moving on, I certainly agree that we shouldn't rewrite AVFTT history and with that in mind I would say in suggesting that 99% of this board defended the Oystons for so very very long you are talking utter horsechite.

I think you are wrong here.

I can't remember exactly what he said but it was along the lines of, "Maybe it will take a team to go under for the EFL to act" and certainly not "I want Bury to go bust" or even that he was prepared for them to go bust.

I don't agree with all his views on football governance but I don't think you are being fair here.

Apologies if you are just being playfully mischievous.

He's still here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with what you say in that he has made a positive contribution to the site but it's possible that he made a positive contribution to the site AND abused his role as a moderator and was less than honest.
 
I'm not going to get drawn into this naming of posters etc but BRR lost out last week in the FSA elections for the national council, and from my pov they let the guy down badly given the work he's done for them.
I understand he almost wrote the BST submission singlehandedly (on the fans led review) and has provided insight into parliamentary workings for the entire project.

Just a casual observation but I think Christine and Tony could have done more to push his candidacy and the FSA is poorer for not having him included.

In the meantime the woke,lunatic fringe of the FSA continues to gather momentum
 
Let’s just say we don’t see eye to eye on politics 😂😂 , having said that I’ve never met the bloke so he may be a top fella.

No that’s not what he said.

He said it would maybe worth a club like Bolton or Bury going bust to make then EFL realise the problem. (I maybe paraphrasing but the context is 100% right)

Which was disgraceful - and hence why he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near football governance.

So if it is ok for them to go bust surely it would have been ok for us to go bust to prove his point - otherwise he is a hypocrite.

Which has been proven!!!!

I don't think that he did say it in the way that you describe it and without wishing to go all Karl Oyston on you I think that you perhaps just use this as a stick to beat him with.

I don't know if I'd go as far as saying he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near football governance as you suggest.

I'm fairly sure that he has qualities that would lend themselves to certain roles within that sphere but he certainly lacks integrity and I think questions should be asked whether he is suitable for certain roles.

Many respected and popular posters here were pro-Oyston for a long time, though the percentage was nowhere near 99%. Remember the veinbulgers?

He got it wrong with the Oystons, so did many more at first.

I even supported Karl 1999-2001 foolishly believing his promise to deliver concrete proposals for a finished Bloomfield Rd by 2001.

In the end Basil Robbie went with BST and did a lot of good work.

The war with the past owners IS finished.
We now have an amazing Owner,Club,Manager,Players,Club Staff & Fans alike.

We can go in about this all day - he did say that.

I am going to try and find it over the next few days using those internet time machine thingys.

I have never questioned his integrity as you have, just his thought process and that it shows hypocrisy.

I think if you are going to question his integrity, you maybe should provide more evidence.

How about the lie in the case of old AVFTT was closing down and everyone should move to his new site.

Regarding "Burygate" - fair enough, I have no desire to go on about it all day, I am fairly sure that he said it as I suggested but fair enough if that wasn't the case.

Regarding his integrity - Not for a second am I suggesting that you questioned his integrity.

I am not questioning his integrity, I am telling you that he lacks integrity.

I am talking about his actions on here both when he was the moderator and when he shut down his previous username and started setting up new usernames willy nilly and continued to pop up with new usernames after being called out.

In both cases, he was not open and honest, he knows exactly what he was doing and I am more than happy to discuss things with him.

Why do you think he deleted his old username ?

I agree, Lytham is being conservative, pun intended, it was more like 99.9% because back in the day there was myself, Lytham, Voyeur and Stevenage (Khonkaenseasider) who knew from the start who the Stains really were and we differed from everyone else for many years, it was only in about 2013 the penny started to drop and took a few more years after that to convince the majority.
