| Karl Oyston Step Down - A Petition 09:25 - Dec 24 with 15842 views | BFCSupportersTrust |
Club President Valeri Belokon has called upon all Blackpool fans to support a petition for Club Chairman Karl Oyston to step down from his position with immediate effect.
Blackpool Supporters Trust would ask that our members , Blackpool fans and indeed all in the football community support Mr Belokons request and sign the attached petition that requests that Mr Karl Oyston step down from any position of influence in Blackpool FC immediately. This petition will be submitted to the FA and Football League as well as to Blackpool Football Club owner Mr Owen Oyston.
As many fans will be aware, Karl Oyston has recently been in the national and local media, having engaged in a series of abusive text exchanges with Blackpool supporters, which has further sullied the good name of Blackpool FC through association.
The attitude displayed by Mr Oyston, not only in regard to the unacceptable references to disabilities and ' special needs ' but in his general attitude towards hard working Blackpool fans in general makes him in our view unsuitable to hold a position of influence within our famous community football club.
For some time the relationship between Club and its fans has been strained and it is our firm belief that many of these issues are a direct result of Karl Oyston and his confrontational approach to the fan base. This latest outburst from Mr Oyston is simply a very public demonstration of an attitude that as has no place on football and decent society and which in addition has had a negative impact on relations between Karl Oyston and numerous managers , board members , members of the Press , players , fans and of course, Mr Belokon himself. When one individual manages to sour relations with so many other people, then the source of the problem becomes patently obvious. Karl Oyston seems incapable of managing everyday relationships without conflict and that cannot be good for Blackpool Football Club.
The time has come for Blackpool Football Club to move on into a new era of cooperation between Club and its fans and the wider community and for us to build upon the success that Valeri Belokon's substantial investment had brought about. Blackpool Supporters Trust call upon Mr Owen Oyston to remove Karl Oyston from any position of influence with immediate effect and re-establish a working relationship with Valeri Belokon, with a view to making positive progress, placing football first, investing properly for the success of the team and to start treating the fans and community of Blackpool with the respect that they deserve from the ambassador of our historic club.
Please sign the online petition detailing your full name & email address, together with any comments that you feel are relevant.

Thought this was an excellent post in the comments section on the petition
I have been a supporter for over fifty years. I have Worked in a number of voluntary roles, for and behalf of the club, including being a committee member of the Save Blackpool Football Club group that lobbied for council loans to prevent the club from going under in the days when Ken Chadwick was chairmen. I have taken great pride in the club's (rare) moments of success and (above all) it's good name and standing in the world of football (nationally and internationally).
To see the serial under investment and by extension, under achievement following the unprecedented financial windfall garnered as a consequence of promotion to the premier league has been soul destroying. Even more so, has the miserable decline from the high point of public acclaim during that PL season to humiliation of being the sorry objects of pity that we are now.
For someone to be in total control of all the elements that pertain to the destiny of my beloved club and to serially crush hope and ambition, is bad enough. But to compound that felony by sullying the good of the club and the town by vile, needless, self indulgent, hurtful text messages, goes beyond the pail. Anyone with a scrap of decency would have apologised (genuinely) and at least offered to resign. The fact that you, Karl Oyston, have not, is to your eternal discredit. | | | |
