Karl Oyston Step Down - A Petition 09:25 - Dec 24 with 14362 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. https://www.change.org/p/karl-oyston-resign-as-chairman-of-blackpool-football-cl | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It is sad that this site does not appear to attract much support for a fantastic initiative by BST. Although it comes as no real surprise. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

What are you basing that on? Maybe people are signing without announcing through a post? It's down to individuals to sign. Whether they tell everyone seems a bit ' look at me', to be honest. | ![](/images/avatars/15067.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I am basing it on the support shown. Not one post of support on this site (to date) in comparison to 100 plus on the other site. Of course the traffic is perhaps less here, but all the same I think my point is valid, based solely on the facts at hand. I do not think people telling others they have signed is anymore 'look at me'' than people announcing they attend games. Do you? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I've signed it. Didn't feel the need to tell everyone. I notice over 90 views of the thread. Who's to say they haven't signed, plus forwarded through other social media. Fairly obvious to me that you're fishing for someone to say they haven't signed, and are even implying that this site is a bastion of antipathy to the petition so you can report it elsewhere. If that's what you want then at least be honest about it. | ![](/images/avatars/15067.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Fleetwoodbry...Set yourself up a hotmail account mate. They come in handy for applying for stuff on the internet when you are likely to get spammed in any case. I use that address for stuff like applying for car insurance etc. and it avoids your normal email getting clogged with sh1t. All concerned BFC fans should try and sign this if they can. VB has called for support and this is our chance to get behind the man who surely most of us want to become more involved with our club. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

SandyUSA. People on this site are not the enemy. Oyston is. Most of us (including me) are anti-Oyston, one or two just want to focus on the football that's all. I have signed the petition and suspect many on this site will. Oyston Out | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Scroll below the main editorial and there are hundreds (only shows 5/6 at a time -there was a disturbing one from Jack Stringfellow). If you are using a tablet I don't think it shows them, need a laptop. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
