Might get some stick for this. We've all got different opinions and I'm not posting this for trouble here we go..
Who thinks Sadler is the dream owner. For me I'm gonna say no. We've not moved on from the oystons. Byers & Rhodes great signings but not our players. We've done everything on the cheap. Training ground & new east stand for me all a smokescreen. We signed 2 on deadline day. 1 maybe for the future & other one won't see this season due to injury..

I can’t begin to be arsed addressing this pure and utter bollocks save for 2 things. 1) he’s never paid himself £21million from the club 2.) he’s never sued a fan, so purely on that your argument is utter spunk.

You are a complete idiot!
 
He's not the dream owner but I don't think anyone ever is. There's always something some people won't like.
He's a good owner though and apart from some poor managerial appointments I don't really see anything bad he has done. At the very beginning he set out he wanted us to be sustainable and bring players through and buy potential and sell high. Pretty much what is happening really. I think a lot of people/fans are just impatient which isnt a surprise but we need to be realistic about what we are wanting to do and how we want to do it. It's not lacking ambition it's just playing more a long game. Probably cos he knows he can't just buy us success.
Comparing him in any way to them is absolutely ridiculous and so so unfair

Why don't you open a poll?
 
just nuts this. How lucky are we to have a fan own the club, who has drastically improved every aspect over a relatively short period of ownership. I can’t stand these posts because I worry one day he’s going to get sick of it and sell, then what??

Do you think there’s a queue of multi millionaires waiting for the opportunity to invest in a league one football club? I bet there are loads who can’t wait to make the losses Simon does year in year out…

Hasn’t he spent £18 million or thereabouts since he bought the club ?

What do you want your dream owner to actually do? Offer you sex at half time?
 
I have in my hand as i write this reply. How not to run a football club. by Nathan Fogg. the grim reality of the Oyston regime. and comparing them years to Simon Sadler is a really strange thing. try reading or getting a copy . Its a few years old now circas 2021 What does this poster really want. A sustainable football club or maybe a Venkys type operation. because the two are completely on two different planets. No club is run exactly on the same business model but we do know that Simon is a decent bloke. he is a local boy made good. Nothing wrong with that. but saying there has been NO progress is beyond me. WE used to play in a run down third world stadium. At least the current set up IS reasonably appointed. WE all want to see a new east stand and progress in the League. Simon Sadler is the owner who will deliver it.

Different name over the door,but same old Blackpool,only difference sadler not sued anyone yet,I think he has got most or all of his money back what he paid for the club,maybe you could be correct with the smokescreen,that was an oyston ploy,sadler is not our hero.Belekon is.

Is that the Belekon that walked off with all of the cash that Oyston took out of the club?
 
I think that Simon Sadler has done a great job in terms of stabilising the Club and turning it into a professional outfit, following several years of decline under the Oyston tenure.👍

I do wonder though whether last season has wearied him and the reality of owning a football club is hitting home. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does look to exit at some point and in all honesty I wouldn’t blame him if he did.

Personally speaking, my dream owner would be someone who would come in and spend our way back to the Premier League. Just for once it would be fantastic to be that team who could outspend your rivals and attract the very best players etc… Of course, that’s probably not realistic, but we are talking ‘dreams’.

Make ya mind up who took it oystons or Belekon.Ya that thick,even other posters are noticing.

Oh dear Arrie.

Oyston took it from the club and the courts made him give it to Belekon.

So now Belekon has it.

I hope that hasn't tarnished how you feel about your hero.

The Oyston comparison is so lazy, surely people don't actually believe it? It's like when everything gets compared to the Nazi's in politics, it's such an extreme position it's hard to take it seriously when there may actually be a decent point to make.

The argument most make is that he doesn't contribute enough to the playing side, our transfer business is made up mostly of loans and free agents. That has been justified by the fact he's forking out for external things like the east and the training ground and there needs to be a balance between sorting out infrastructure and being competitive.

As the seasons are starting to pass though and little to no progress is being made on either of those things but the transfer strategy remains the same, the criticism starts to become more warranted. I used to find it incredibly harsh, but a bit more justified now. I reckon he's probably finding it more difficult than he anticipated to get the ball rolling on the east/training ground.

See how I basically just had a reasonable debate with myself without resorting to "Sadler is an Oyston Nazi!"
 
what all of it,don’t thinks so.Oyston had to sell the club to pay Belekon what he owed him,was it around 28-35 million I don’t know,the other 50-60 might be stuffed behind the radiators,you should know you say you put a lot of money in club,

Ultimately Belekon walked off into the sunset with a sackful of Blackpool FC money.

Owen took it out of the Club, then paid it to Belekon and we all waved him off into the sunset with our stash whilst calling him a hero…

You couldn’t make it up tbh.
 
Football clubs are a sought after commodity yes they lose money as rule but the Billionaire's will always be ready to purchase as its a status symbol. Look at Wrexham great example of how quickly things can turn round and the owners football can attract , our home crowds have been half decent this season but we need something positive before nxt season in regards to season ticket sales.

good job he did,if the judge didn’t order oyston to pay belekon off,they would still be in charge,he walked out with nothing,took the oystons to court,won his case.

If Belokon hadn't taken Oyston to court we'd still be standing on Bloomfield Rd, protesting. Think on that.

And who would blame him? I'm sure that pumping millions into the club whilst having to contend with the vocal discontent from the likes of you must start to grate after a while.

It'll be better when he's actually got one of these big projects off the ground, as then it'll be physical proof that he does what he says, not that he needs it to me, but clearly some are scarred from the past.
 
Well we started each season under Sadler with a full squad of contracted footballers, and we haven't had to make up the bench with U16s. That's a nice change from the Oyscum.

We have a football pitch which isn't under two inches of water. That's a nice change from the Oyscum.

We are posting here in criticism of the owners without fear of legal letters through the door. That's a nice change from the Oyscum.
 
Sadler has made steady progress after the horror story and under investment of the Os. Stability and progress I would call it. And the Covid situation and relegation had a key impact on progress. The under investment of the Os in particular will take some years to sort out. If he gets both the training ground and the east stand progressed in the next 18 months (especially when they are both partially dependent on the councils) it will be a massive improvement for the club.
He hasn't got everything right, particularly in relation to Appleton and the some of the signings, but things don't happen overnight. I would also like some better and more open communications. The staffing both off and on the pitch also needed a massive overall and the latter is still work in progress to get the level of quality and consistency we need. People are too impatient, unrealistic and grumpy sods at times (myself included).
And BFC and Blackpool are not particularly attractive financial prospects for investors.
Keep the faith and UTP

So by your logic we might aswell have Oyston as have Sadler, in which case there was no point in Belekon getting rid of Oyston!
 
Kev, why don’t you invite SS out for a couple of jars and chat it through with him? Give him some direction and explain where he’s going wrong. I’m sure he’d welcome the guidance 👊

go back and read the opening post,av a brew,think,then reply.You’re the educated one on hear, are you not.You said belekon ran off with the money,he ran off with nothing,the judge ordered oyston to pay him what he was owed.Thats how I see it,but I could be wrong.
