Pool in bother again - seems like deep shit if true.

Wouldn't it be somewhat ironic if Sadler fails the thing that BST and the FSA have been banging on about for the last 10 years or so

It would, it's not gone unnoticed. But rules are rules, I guess. And that's why were are, believe it or not, very fortunate to have some very clued-up, well informed, well connected people working, often unnoticed, on behalf of the fans/club rather than the business/owners.

You know what will happen. Start off with all good intentions but then it'll come out that whoever fronts it up once ignored a Parking Eye charge for staying over an hour at a Lidl and they'll have to resign.

Or that they once bought a Liverpool shirt when they were 11 so aren't really independent

For a football role how do you actually get someone independent?

I'm not sure you can there's always going to be conflicts of interest and question marks over the individuals and their own actions.

Would be a real shame if so and he didn't even have chance to implement the east and TG, projects we needed and that would have changed the club forever.

I wonder actually what would happen as some agreements with the Council etc are in place, would it carry on or be a condition of the sale...

There are people out there, billionaires looking for clubs... Wycombe got one recently, no idea who he is or if he's any good...
 
Just had a look at the Planet Football website because I couldn't read the article.....
There's nothing on there about Blackpool....or this report???
In fact it just quizzes and articles about forgotten footballer in China and possible new careers for Jose Mourinho.....(Hairdresser is a definite)

No football news or anything......So what did the article say...?

Hertford......You must get a hard on every time Sadlers mentioned on here
Did he shag someone in your family or bully you at school.....?....Go on, tell us what he did to make you hate him with this much passion..????

Beat me to it. That's my worry because buyers weren't exactly queuing round the block when SS bought the club.
Either way, it would be good if SS could find a reliable investment partner to part-own the club.

Why are you such a tvvat? I have been consistent in my criticism and I am going to be proved right. I'm not happy about that because I was ecstatic that we had got rid of the vermin and I wanted the next owner to be someone who would really make a difference. Well, has he? Is he doing? Be honest. If you want me to be personal like you and lower myself to your level, do you have a hard on when you look at his pictures on your bedroom wall and lay on your pillows with his face on? I don't hate him, I have never said I hate him, I have nothing to hate him for, I just haven't ever been convinced he was the right owner from us and I still think that and have done without wavering. I wish I was wrong, but please tell me how you saw us 4/5 years after he took over, did you anticipate us where we are with a real staleness about the place?
 
Tbh the Eye article is a pretty thorough summary of the situation and illustrates how this could potentially play out. We should take it seriously.

You are quite unique in your total obsession with Sadler...and EVERY comment you make about him, is blinded by your bias for the guy?
I would say that 99% of your comments are just you, having a go at the guy.

Can you tell me any actual facts that would make me (or anyone else) actually understand why he's not the right owner.....?
I would love to understand what are you not 'convinced' by, that the majority of fans can't see?
What has he done that says he's not 100% behind the club.........What convinced you that will convince me?

I don't think you can blame him for the managers they hire.....it's a lottery, you pick the best and if they don't work out....you hire another one
Look what happened at clubs like Hull, Birmingham, Sunderland, PNE, Wet Spam......It's always a managerial merry-go-round

So there's no real reason to call me a ** or have a go, it's a simple question
But i'm off to bed.....I will have a wonderful nights sleep under my Simon Sadler duvet and pillow.....

It's a public sector appointment isn't it. So the salary was never going to be anything comparable to the industry it sets out to hold to account.

But at least they will get flexi time and a gold plated pension 😜

So it's okay for you to ask if he's shagged any of my relatives then? I would say that was being a tvvat.

I have praised Sadler for his dealings off the pitch and steadying the ship after the vermin vacated the building. However, 5 years on and no shovels in the ground for a new training Ground, an East Stand and a high turnover of staff. We were in League 1 when he took over we got the the Championship but several appalling managerial appointments have been down to him, how can you say they haven't? And we are still stuck with the awful Critchley. Communication has been absolutely terrible since he took over and is now practically non existent, he treats his customers like they are naughty school children and the promotion of the club and the poor ticket pricing is all down to I'm.

We now have the revelations that he has been charged with criminal offences in Hong Kong and of course he may well be innocent, and I hope he is, but this is not what we want for the club, now, or any time. If he is found guilty then the chances are he will be made to sell because of the new rules. I never thought he really wanted it in the first place and regretted it almost immediately and he needs to have his finger on the pulse with the business that is the most important to him and the distraction of a football club is too much.

There is no guarantee a new owner will be any better but they could be and he may have his hand forced anyway. Like I have continually said I think he was mad buying it, if I had his money I certainly wouldn't;t want to buy the club, total madness. I hope he is found not guilty but sees that he made a mistake purchasing the club and looks to find a new owner, there are people out there and the club is a lot better off now than when the vermin had it. Oh and he has loans to the club that he can pull back at any time.

"Hi, Man City, it's the regulator here - just to say, we were on our way to have a look at the books and impound Kevin De Bruyne, but unfortunately we've broken down on the M4 so we'll be a while yet"

It's not from 'Planet Football' website - It's a Private Eye article and Private Eye doesn't publish stuff online to my knowledge.

Is that it?

Every club has high staff turn over and managers that don't work out Man United are still looking.

What about the two successful seasons with one promotion and easily staying in the Championship despite one of the lowest crowds in the division?

Communication did you see the farce of last season asking Appleton to show his Tats, meetings because the Muckers where going to storm the training ground,900 supporters groups at a meet with some getting thrown out,no wonder they've gone a different route.

Fleetwood have bigger loans than us to Pilley which he'll never see a penny of that money it's how football clubs shift money around.

The Developments we'll see but someone who's just had an extension built sod all got done during COVID so the job got out on hold and then it put nearly 10k on the project in materials increases.

Sadler ain't perfect what owner is but we've gone form owners who put naff all in and got lucky to one who does.
What the future holds who knows but they better have deep pockets of they want to own us.

You got pelters because your opinion from day one was based on nothing factual.

Indeed, because when you drill down, the club is not much further on from when SS took over. We have infrastructure plans, but they are just that, with significant investment needed. We are L1 again and the good feeling vibe has gone, really due to the turgid football under Critchley.

One thing SS can do is get rid of Critchley and boost ST sales. If he then has to sell the club, it would be a more attractive proposition.

Sad state of affairs really, not least because of concerns about the quality of summer recruitment.
