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..

So why dont you buy the club & invest more than Simon??
Presumably as you cant so SHUT THE F UP!
IDIOT!
 
So Sadler has failed because we aren't in the championship. It's down to money available and we are a small club. Look at our ground and training ground.

We deserve to be in league 1. We need a massive investment to change that. Without Sadler we would be in the conference.

I didn’t know you were a financial expert on the running of BFC…..🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 of the first order…go back to Dungdale where you belong.
By the way please define the dream owner,if you know him,her or them please let us know.

If you are such a good financial expert have a good look at the accounts for BFC ( if you actually know how to find them) and see how much money has had to be put into the club by SS to keep us afloat and still keep within the rules governing financial fair play.Very easy to spend other people’s money clown.

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.

It’s not scarred from the past. It’s wanting a grown man’s actions to match his words and if he can’t do that say nowt. I’d rather he focus on helping his pick of manager get out of league one as he’s drowning in plain sight at present.

Without VB doing what he did we’d still but under the yoke of ‘ the fan since 2 years old ‘
He rolled the dice not knowing the outcome
For that many will always be grateful

I'm not sure I'd describe placing your trust in the advice of one of the best law firms in the country with a case that was pretty much cut and dried as 'Rolling the Dice' ... There was certainly some uncertainty as to whether he'd bag as much swag as he did, but he was always getting something....

He's probably the only bloke Owen has ever met who's more dodgy than himself...

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’.

Most sensible statement said in the thread.

I think this is pretty much spot on.

I do think it’s more comfortable at this level with the finances, capacity required & pressure being in the League.

There’s definitely been a shift from early Sadler and the summer before we went up. He’s been through a few charlatans in the all singing infrastructure and his mate is no longer involved behind the scenes…

The January 2022 transfer window were we signed Charlie Kirk and Beesley to stabilise in the Championship was the start of the downward spiral on recruitment.

Well some seem to be. Also give him a chance, these big projects take time and have a lot of moving parts and are in the hands of 2 different councils at this stage.

It doesn't matter who was in charge and if things are held up for those reasons, nothing would happen.

Nope, nothing like that, the Oystons didn't have live projects waiting to take off just waiting on outside factors did they?

They had consent to do something with SG but then backed out.

SS has proven his intention there by transforming SG even though it's not part of the longer term plans.

If that doesn't tell you a difference then what will.

No prem money for SS to use either.

Surely whatever anyone thinks of VB his intervention was massively fortuitous for everyone who joined the boycott. It precipitated action that saw off the Oystons. I can't think of any other turn of events that might have secured this result. Its outrageous really how lucky we were. The Oystons would otherwise still be sucking whatever they could from the corpse of BFC. Of course I'd rather some of VB's bingo win had come our way, but at least now we are back in the game. The rest is up to us and Simon Sadler or whoever he might sell to somewhere down the line.

What's he done. A bit of paint around the stadium to tidy it up. Most of our fans have been disappointed with last few transfer windows apart from the one that's just gone.

You could probably write a book on all the things Simon Sadler's done for BFC since he first took up ownership of the club.

And yet, you, miraculously, attempt to minimise the scale of what has been achieved by dismissively referring to how the undertaking of the project simply involved physically applying, and, I quote, 'a bit of paint around the stadium to tidy it up.' And that's taken the best part of several years, has it? Yeah - right ...

All of which prompts me to raise the following: "In order that I can hopefully manage some sleep tonight, I would be hugely grateful if you please just let me know - Are you for real?"
 
Why is it that when anyone remotely questions Sadlers ownership you get the same sycophantic posters going ape shit about it?

Do you really think that someone of SS’s undoubted calibre is gonna up sticks and fuck off because a few peeps on a message board dare to have a chat about what is and isn’t happening at our club?

All opinions should be valid in this bit off a doss chat room, those that take it too seriously I suggest could do with some help!

You could write a book? Do we have a new stand? Has one brick been laid on a new training ground? What division are we in? Automatic promotion position? Playoff position? Managerial stability? Kept costs low and had the club incur more debt than under the Oystons? I don’t think you want to write a book at this juncture. I’d be patient and cross my fingers if I were you.

You raise some legitimate concerns, to be fair. And, yes, you're right, any plans for a book perhaps need to be put on hold for the foreseeable future ...

Fortuitous in the respect that his actions ridded the club of the Oyston Family, yes. As I’ve said many times before though… Walking off into the sunset with £30M from the BFC coffers without making any kind of gesture is not going to attract any ‘Hero Worship’ from me . Remainder of post removed.

You're entitled to your opinions, but as a longtime friend and mentor of mine once said "Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one and sometimes they're full of s***"

Don't be a "sometimes"

Yes, that's the basis of what I've said. I just can't think of any other set of circumstances that would have seen them off. they finally came up against someone with enough power and money and who wanted revenge. Fortunately for us lot, leaving us with a functioning football club that has more than a puncher's chance of growing to be a significant force once again.

you want to wash your mouth out,what ya swearing for,if you don’t like my post don’t read them.I am not a knobber or multi name user,I have watch Blackpool for around 55 years,so I think I am entitled to an opinion,even if you don’t agree.
 
I think the only fair criticism of Simon is his choice of coaches, he obviously still believes in Critchley, which is his prerogative, and apart from Mccarthy he was trying to get stability and a safe pair of hands, so I think he was trying to work in clubs interest.
Good owners are few and far between and many are just novelty projects with no long term goals.
My only real concern is playing the Blackpool way seems to have morphed into sideways, backwards, slow build up and then a hopeful long ball, to me it was captured by the chants of "get into them"

Yet if anyone comes back and has an alternative view to the one you agree with, people get all defensive and 'all opinions are valid'.

They're really not valid if there's no justification for them and there's plenty of evidence to say Sadler has invested in the club far more than 'a lick of paint'.
 
This thread is unbelievable and very humorous, why people respond to the idiots calling out Sadler is beyond belief
 
It worries me that Sadlers original dream team jumped ship. Something not right. Has anybody on here had dealing with Simon on here as I've heard he's not the easiest chap to get along with. I'm grateful he is our owner though.
