I'm wondering if we can list all his footballing misdemeanours (so keep it to football and one suggestion per post). If we can get to 100 I'll donate £100 to Children in Need on Friday!
1. The utter disgrace that he sacked Steve Thompson | |

No. 69.

99. Failing to land ANY of the "flotsam and jetsam" players he was sure that Prem managers were keen to allow Blackpool FC to develop. He just doesn't understand the contempt and ridicule the rest of the football world holds for him.
Edit to add: The post bringing up the 100 better be a good toe-curling badge of Koko shame... [Post edited 30 Nov 2014 14:30]

Lets give to ton to a neutral observer
100 - Ex-Liverpool chief executive Christian Purslow said that ‘Blackpool are the only club in the history of the Premier League who didn’t give their manager a chance or spend anything. They just trousered the money and said “sod it we’ll just go straight back down”. | | | |

Being part of a FL board which named Massimo Cellino as "fit and unproper". | | | |
| The Karl Oyston List of Shame on 18:14 - Dec 1 with 2522 views | ArchibaldKnox |
I think you mean 'unfit and improper'. But I get what you mean.
The League says Cellino has breached its "fit and proper" ownership test.
... for tax evasion !
That's not the full story though. According to the BBC...
Cellino was fined £502,000 (600,000 euros) in March this year after being found guilty of failing to pay import duty on his yacht. Cellino is entitled to return to the club from 18 March 2015 and can appeal against the League's ruling. He will be able to resume control at Elland Road at that time because his conviction will be deemed spent.
So Koko and his FL cronies give him a slap on the wrist that lasts less than 4 months. So in December he is NOT a fit and proper owner and yet a few months later his character has been entirely reformed and rehabilitated.
His crime pales into insignificance compared with the diversion of £££ tens of millions out of our club into various shadowy enterprises, except the FL does not regard the latter as a crime. That's perfectly allowable. Laughable self-governance. | | | |

101 Not a single mention of the team in Karl's 'football' column today  | | | |

102 - Sending offensive texts to a BFC fan,alienating other fans in the process and creating even more bad press for BFC.
This thread really should be stuck permanently to the top of the board to allow for daily/weekly updates  | | | |

108. His worst crime was misspelling the word Excellence at the training ground and allowing it to remain there for years.
Some things are forgivable but not that! | | | |
| The Karl Oyston List of Shame on 23:20 - May 4 with 1658 views | TwelveAngryMen |
That was laughable
My pic's been used a few times
Still committed to dialogue TT ?
Genuine question | |
| |
| The Karl Oyston List of Shame on 23:59 - May 4 with 1651 views | terminallytangerine |
I'll talk to anyone TAM.
That's a TT position though not necessarily a BSA one.
If it looked like dialogue could lead to a solution to this mess I wouldn't rule it out in the long term but the issues are now so huge it doesn't look likely or possible, and in any case he needs to talk to BST and TK rather than BSA.
The ideal solution would be a change of ownership but if that doesn't happen what then?
I look forward to the day when we can all put football first.
Genuine answer. | | | |
