He was a crook - end of - took advantage of others and felt he was above reproach.Per BBC Lancs:
‘His Honour Judge Knowles KC, said Pilley, who had been jailed for conspiracy to steal from the post office in 1998, presented a "sordid tale of squalid lies, greed and fraud." He continued: "You are a hypocrite who will not tolerate criticism."’
Trouble is he was investing in the town with blood moneyHe was a crook - end of - took advantage of others and felt he was above reproach.
Fair play to the guy for his investment in the town and club but increasingly to me it now looks like a cover up for what he was really doing behind the scenes.
Always someone siding with the criminal. It might be non violent but with financial crime the sentence needs to be big if the money is big. How many people would do a 4 stretch if they were coming out to millions in the bank.13 effing years??? We live in one twisted society that's outrageous, poor bugger will have to serve 2/3rds IIRC. Stupid sentence for a non violent crime.
His victims would not agree.13 effing years??? We live in one twisted society that's outrageous, poor bugger will have to serve 2/3rds IIRC. Stupid sentence for a non violent crime.
Perhaps he invested in the town because it was cheap, and he could get cheap, desperate workers who wouldn’t ask questions or make waves because they needed the work?He was a crook - end of - took advantage of others and felt he was above reproach.

Point of order it was from the age of 2So was Owen .. from the age of 4
I bet that took the smiles of the Cod Army ultras facesHe who laughs last.. enjoy your time Pilley. The truth finally caught up with the crooked git.
Faces or faeces...little differenceI bet that took the smiles of the Cod Army ultras faces
Don’t think he’s ever played golf in his lifeWho’s Mosser going to play golf with now?
That statement is almost word for word same as Waterford.Fleetwood Town Football Club acknowledges the sentencing in the court case involving former club chairman, Andy Pilley.
The club would like to reiterate convictions are against individuals and not Fleetwood Town FC, or any of the businesses associated with them, and will continue to operate as normal.
Fleetwood Town remain in communication with the EFL and will be making no further comment at this time.
'Only financial crime'? People's livelihoods were ruined, people's businesses closed down because they couldn't afford the energy contracts they were scammed into, the suffering his company has caused people will have been massive.Feel sorry for the guy if I’m honest. At the end of the day he’s been a Pool fan for decades and even when at the Cods went to most of our big games. It’s only financial crime, you could beat someone to within an inch of their life and get a suspended sentence and he gets 13 years. Whatever your opinion of him the Fylde Coast has lost a major investor and people kicking him when he’s down need to remember that.
It is a long time 9 yrs minimum you know. When you stop and think about it.It'll feel like 90
Got to choose your friends carefully. Even when its only for free lager.What a strange thing to post
Interesting that, judge must gave set that specific tariff.Minimum of 9 apparently
I know, a bet the 2 of them are gutted.I bet that took the smiles of the Cod Army ultras faces

It’s not acceptable I accept that and he should be sentenced but the basic fact is you’d get a lesser sentence if you’d drunk 15 pints and ran someone over killing them. So compared to the ridiculous sentences I see daily for outrageous acts of violence and rape I think he has been harshly treated.'Only financial crime'?

The fact is, if he'd took over then the club would be in the shit right now, looking for a buy out.The two things aren't connected
I've never understood the hatred towards him on this site, he's a Blackpool fan like the majority of this site
Only financial crime? The whole of our capitalist society's way of life depends on people honestly following the rules of our financial systems. If everyone ignored that and robbed each other, we'd be in absolute anarchy.Feel sorry for the guy if I’m honest.

The law was changed last year to allow life imprisonment for death by dangerous driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.It’s not acceptable I accept that and he should be sentenced but the basic fact is you’d get a lesser sentence if you’d drunk 15 pints and ran someone over killing them.

Blimey. What world are you living inOnly financial crime? The whole of our capitalist society's way of life depends on people honestly following the rules of out financial systems. If everyone ignored that and robbed each other, we'd be in absolute anarchy.
You just making things up again?The fact is, if he'd took over then the club would be in the shit right now, looking for a buy out.
I'm sure Steve Smith will get a very sympathetic response when he gets sentenced because he's a pool fanWhy should he get any sympathy just because he's a 'Pool fan? He's a criminal, a conman, a fraudster & I have no sympathy for anyone that profits at the expense of others...he has literally destroyed people's livelihoods just so he can live the high life. fcuk him.
What's made up? A 100% shareholding with the shareholder in jail causes huge problems. If you can't see that, that's your lookout.You just making things up again?
That was only a small reason why Andy bought Waterford, there would be a lot more bonuses to anyone buying them now if they are for saleThat statement is almost word for word same as Waterford.
The fact is Fleetwood cannot possibly sustain a league presence without a major backer and I think they will have to resign from the league.
Waterford is interesting, maybe Sadler can offer to take them over as well given we are actively looking at the Irish market for players and we can loan out promising dev players to a competitive league
There isn't a cat in hells chance he could have bought our club as he already owned another oneWhat's made up? A 100% shareholding with the shareholder in jail causes huge problems. If you can't see that, that's your lookout.
They seem to be in full denial mode.Wow, there must be implications for the fut of both BES and FFC.
Changed the debate there. So he couldn't have offloaded the Cods to take over Pool, which some on here were advocating?There isn't a car in hells chance he could have bought our club as he already owned another one
That's what is made up
You may as well be saying Abramovich nearly bought it and parked his tank on Spen corner firing £50 notes towards south shore
Pool fan or not -massive fraudster that has been caught outThe two things aren't connected
I've never understood the hatred towards him on this site, he's a Blackpool fan like the majority of this site
Judges recommendationWhere does this he ll serve 9 years come from ?
Does he not serve half ?
Why two thirds ?
Yeah it's that easy, just like refunding a jumper at M&S and getting one from Asda insteadChanged the debate there. So he couldn't have offloaded the Cods to take over Pool, which some on here were advocating?
Ditto Dogfood Dave.
Kicking him when he is down ? The guys a criminal and major fraudsterFeel sorry for the guy if I’m honest.
