Simon Sadler gives £1.5m…

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

…to set up a three year University bursary for students leaving care. Could’ve been even more if we hadn’t bought Norburn

Seriously, what a contrast to the previous odious ones to have a man of integrity who wants to put back into society.

 

[BFC4EVA]

Well done Simon Sadler

 

[Macseasider]

That's a fabulous and very generous thing to do.

Chapeau Simon.

 

[Tanger]

How long before the OBE?

 

[Chesterbfc]

My daughter told me a couple of days ago
What a great gesture .
.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Doesn’t sound like he’s had a bad year does it?!

[Leither]

What an owner . . we should all feel very proud we have a bloke at the helm with the right values.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Go on Sadler

 

[JJpool]

Doesn’t sound like he’s had a bad year does it?!

His fund apparently did extremely well selling their large position in Activision Blizzard...

 

[TheOldKop]

An amazing owner! Blackpool folk can access it too

 

[Tangerinemoss]

That’s the sort of human we want to lead our football club. Well done, SS

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Well done Simon...

Incredible gesture.

 

[seasideone]

Top top gesture!!!!

Would have preferred him to spend it on the training ground and the east.

 

[Dougallsdouble]

He's a good guy and great owner. The Oystains would have found a scheme to take £1.5 million from the university lol

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

My stock portfolio is up 200% in the last year and im just a regular Joe, SS must have made a shedload

Bloody hell - what do you own?

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

Bloody hell - what do you own?

Nvidia, Crowdstrike, Palantir and a couple of other US techs

 

[Hockaday’s Quiff]

A wonderful gesture, particularly as it for care leavers… a sector of society whereby we load the dice against them - a fabulous antidote.

 

[eatmygoal]

this could be life-changing for 36 young people who have had a tough start in life. good work simon.

 

[BFC_53]

Fantastic gesture. This is the kind of action that shows me we have the right owner - he's made mistakes but I don't doubt his intentions at all, and that's completely different to how it was with the O's.

 

[Mark_GT]

Brilliant gesture and so, so needed. Nice one Simon

 

[Lala]

Amazing, well done Simon. What a fantastic donation which will transform the lives of some of our gifted yet more challenged youngsters.

All hail Mr Sadler

 

[Lytham_fy8]

I mean that would have improved the pies at Bloomfield no end but I suppose it's his money...

 

[Sooty59]

Nice gesture

 

[JJpool]

I mean that would have improved the pies at Bloomfield no end but I suppose it's his money...

I had a good idea for some floating food stalls that would deliver food to fans without the need for concourses and this sort of investment would have made it a reality.

I guess it was just pie in the sky.

 

[AngelBFC]

He's a good guy and great owner. The Oystains would have found a scheme to take £1.5 million from the university lol

Brilliant that

Not laughed as much in ages .

 

[Towerpower99]

Great gesture… Not quite on his arse then..

 

[TSSeasider]

Great gesture… Not quite on his arse then..

Was going to say, I thought loads on here said he was skint.

Depending on how it's stretched, it's quite an efficient was to reduce his tax bill

Yea a few tried to infer his wealth was questionable… I think he is doing fine…

It’s an expensive way to reduce your tax bill…Ultimately the recipient gains from the HMRC’s loss and not Mr Sadler.

A fantastic gesture by the way

 

[parker14]

I'm eagerly awaiting the announcements regarding the training ground and the east, as he's obviously awash with spare cash.

Oh give over.

 

[Adams Kebab]

That’s the Cam Brannagan money gone then…

 

[Superbretty]

Brilliant effort. He clearly has his heart in the right place.

 

[bleach51]

Perhaps there are hold ups in planning permission,etc.
How about giving him some credit for seeing beyond BFC…

 

[Insider]

Well done Simon.

You seem very knowledgeable. Please share what you know.

 

[Charliecleanstonysheens]

Would have preferred him to spend it on the training ground and the east.

There's always one !

 

[poolseasider]

Because he knows abosolute fuck all.

no class

 

[Graves]

We’ve got Simon Sadler

 

[TangerineDan]

Just more proof (if it was even needed) of what a fantastic owner we have!!

 

[Briggs5]

He's obviously a decent human being.

Reminds me a lot of myself, minus the money.

 

[Eternaloptimist]

I'm eagerly awaiting the announcements regarding the training ground and the east, as he's obviously awash with spare cash.

Had to be one.

 

[Graham berrys plastic bag]

Would have preferred him to spend it on the training ground and the east.

I’m not that bothered about the training ground & the east , the money would have been better spent on extending Connollys contract, I for one don’t want to risk him being sold to a championship club or for that matter a lower end premiership club

 

[Bisphamtang]

Top stuff - the contrast with the squatters shows how much has changed
Great cause too.

 

[tangerine_neil]

He's a good guy and great owner. The Oystains would have found a scheme to take £1.5 million from the university lol

That would be the Bucks for Books Bucket Collection, outside the Booking office.
