Court case starts next week

Knew plenty of people who worked in that call centre for years, whether legal or not his fortune is built on snake oil and strong-arming the gullible and naive of society. I hope he gets royally shafted.
Know plenty of people who worked there but didn’t work there yourself 🤔

No, I left home at 18. At that time it was difficult finding a job in the area and many, many people worked for Pilley even if they only lasted a couple of weeks. I've seen the telephone scripts from that time and they were morally repugnant. But each to their own.

I’ve heard from the horses mouth of a couple who tried it to help with their commission……. guess what, he sacked them 👍🏼

Tried what? The script they were provided for training?

I get that he’s your mate or some shit and that’s your own business, but that company was morally bankrupt for a long time. I would be surprised if they had just miraculously cleaned up their act and grown a conscience in the time I’ve been abroad.

No, adapted the script for their own gains
 
I’d be careful casting comments on a pending criminal trial, it’s easy to inadvertently fall foul of contempt of court. Best awaiting the outcome really.
Not commenting on the pending trial, no idea what it pertains to, and I assume everything they did back in 2013 that I mention was legal. I just think legal or no it makes him a prick.
 
Sooner he’s cleared the better then the busy bodies on here can get talking about someone else
Spot on mosser. 👍

It was Joey Barton’s brother the other week seriously who gives a feck about Joey Barton’s brother?

Mind you I suppose keeping in line with AVFTT rules on hating the Cods AP is already guilty with the usual suspects on here.

Jesus.. I hope you don’t even read up on half the Premier League owners!!

If you think Pilley is bad try reading about some of those.
 
Having worked in the industry for a number of years I know all too well about what BES get up to, I've heard countless horror stories about their dealings.

They're a local club who until recently were competing in the same league as us, are we supposed to like them or something? It's just if we are then we might as well start respecting Ridsdale as well.

Fuck Fleetwood ** Town.

So, we are now meant to judge football owners by degrees of badness? You cannot justify shady actions, because someone else is shadier. Any way as others have said 12 good people and true, will determine the outcome. Unless of course they are all PNE fans.
 
I know AP from my school days and continue to be in very occasional contact with him generally to ask for charity stuff and he's always obliged. A character and one of the lads no doubt but I find it difficult to believe what he's been accused of, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? Some of the crap posted on this thread hoping he goes down and calling him this or that is embarrassing. If I'm totally honest I wouldn't mind him partnering up with Simon Sadler I think together they'd be phenomenal for BFC, remember AP was a mad Blackpool fan and no matter what journey you may go on with any other club as fan, owner or sponsor his first love was Blackpool and the first cut is the deepest...Hope he's innocent and clears his name accordingly ...

Absolutely spot on👍🏻
 
I spent too much of my life out the county to pick up on all the day to day “gossip”. At one point, Pilley was in the running to take over BFC and……………..
by comparison to the unmentionables, he was the ‘Messiah’. Did we dodge another bullet?

Exactly. I'm by no means defending Pilley. But just do a bit of digging on the owners of Newcastle and Man City just to mention a couple.
You won't have to dig too far either as a lot of it is easily accessible.
People are very gullible if they think football club owners are saints.
The game is run and owned by people with questionable morals.

Or, no morals. None of them would be of the right character to run the local bridge society.

Errr nope ....
 
No need for the tone Mosser just because someone has more money than Andy Pilley, I would imagine plenty of people do.

You do know Sadler doesn't manage the hedge fund for free don't you?
I’m more than happy with how much Simon has, in fact the more the better. I just wouldn’t bet my house on which one of the 2 successful businessmen was the most wealthy 🤔
 
Very rash actually, as for the fan club shit, is that what you say to your mates, I’m in your fan club?
Depends who they are, any comment even remotely negative on this site about Pilley brings out the usual subjects, I'm struggling to think how 'Sadler probably has more money' is even remotely negative, yet still they spring to his defence.

I never suggested you weren't happy, I merely suggested that Sadler has more money.
