Blackpool: Owen and Karl Oyston begin legal action against fan

Blackpool owner Owen Oyston and chairman Karl Oyston have begun legal action against a fan who posted about them on an internet forum.

It is claimed he pair are attempting to sue the fan for £150,000 over a number of serious allegations, which they claim to be untrue.

Karl Oyston is being investigated by the Football Association for sending abusive texts to a supporter.

Blackpool declined to comment when approached by the BBC.

It is reported that the pair are unhappy with a series of posts about them, as well as accusations about the club.

Club president and shareholder Valeri Belokon called for Karl Oyston to resign over the content of the text messages Oyston sent to a fan, for which he later apologised "unreservedly".

Karl, who is a member of the Football League's board of directors, has been the focus of protests about his running of the club, which began in pre-season when the club had just eight senior players under contract.

In April last year, some fans halted a game against Burnley by throwing tennis balls and tangerines onto the pitch as a form of demonstration against him.

The Seasiders are currently bottom of the Championship after 24 matches, nine points adrift of Brighton, who occupy 21st place immediately above the relegation zone.

 

noooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Didn't Bassini threaten this forum once?

 

Towards the bottom - surprised they haven't reacted! http://www.backhenrystreet.co.uk/thread-23518-page-2.html#.VK299CusV8E

 

As many have already said, this guy is small fry compared to Bassini. Oyston at least leaves enough money to keep them running, Bassini would have run us out of existence. The Pozzo takeover really seems like a footballing miracle in hindsight and due to it we may sometimes forget just how bad things COULD have been.

If Blackpool fans had founded an AFC Blackpool a few years ago it could be in League Two by now.

 

What a little grass daib0 is! He's right though, I won't, but then he's missed the point of what I was actually getting at which is that such emails are worse than useless. They're the kind of things High Court judges laugh at in open court.

 

no, not at all, if it was really bad - like some on a Leeds forum that I won't show you where - I wouldn't mention it to the Blackpool lads out of respect!

 

Signed. I was against signing it, but they really do need all the help they can get.

 

Would have but after Davies giving it large to the Rookery(as did Ince 2 years ago) after scoring its a no from me.

 

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Clear breach of copyright nicking posts from this forum I shall warm up the forum lawyers.

 

and I thought you'd be thanking me for the extra fame ...

 

I see the Oystons are now taking the BHS fans forum to court... unbelievable... you couldn't make it up

 

I hate British Home Stores as well.

 

We had a little nudge to remove anything libelous but to be honest we were doing that anyway, it just kept us on our toes.
If I recall correctly he threatened to sue Sky Sports and the Watford Observer?


A certain purveyor of quality electrical goods got a bit feisty but I think there's a long line of people looking for that chap.

 

Their chinos are good.

 

Good on him. About time someone stood up to these large conglomerates.

As a moderator on BHS I urge all of you to help support the site. For protecting the identity of its users Back Henry Street is now under attack. The odious family responsible for the destruction of our once great club are now trying to do the same to this always great forum. YOU can help

We will soon be arranging a donation fund that will go towards legal fees. The Oystons aren't just after money but are after the closure of this site. Back Henry Street adamantly defends the right to freedom of speech and remains dedicated to its position as a forum for all discussion that is in the Blackpool public interest. A football club exists and prospers due to the support of its fan-base and Back Henry Street will forever champion the freedom of thought and expression in discussion of Blackpool Football Club. It is vital we ensure that we, the real Blackpool fans, will always have this forum to discuss our club. With your help, the site will never die.

We're from Back Henry Street and we deny defeat...

Back of the net! I'm as happy about this as I would be if a wasp made it's own way out of a cracked window as soon as I noticed it was in my living room.

 

I don't understand the analogy, but why would you be happy your living room window needed replacing?

 

Does that mean Blackpool are going to stay up?

 

Does this help our promotion chances at all and/or get rid of Z-Cars?

 

I knew I could count on some brill answers ... :]]

 

I mean the window us open a crack. The wasp goes out. No petition needed

I like wasps, but I prefer them to be free and not trapped inside my house or running football clubs.

 

Wasps are a rugby club m8.

 

Bad results for Watford tonight, so let's cheer ourselves up with another great Blackpool story.

Their goalkeeper, former England squad member Joe Lewis, was forced to wear a signed shirt (intended for charity) for their game versus Reading because they had run out of shirts - presumably there are a few hundred men in Lancashire who want to make sure they're seen in the dark.

Careful what we say, peeps! £20,000 damages award to Oyston.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...tml?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

 

Not only £20,000 but having to make a humiliating public apology too.

 

A shambles of a club.

 

It would be cheaper to pay someone to take him out...

... not that I would ever condone such a thing happening to a wonderful human being who has strived through many years of great personal sacrifice solely for the good of Blackpool FC and the enjoyment and well being of Blackpool fans etc cetera....
