The most startling revelation by Owen in his letter is that he is suing Tim Fielding. Talk about lighting the blue touch paper |  | | |  |

All gone very quiet on this one - does anyone know when this legal action is likely to take place? Should make it Pay Per View - more than pay for Tim's courts costs! |
I think we could probably do with an update from BST. Especially those of us who have sent money [Post edited 19 Jan 2015 20:04]

To be fair to BST it's not for them to dictate whether individuals decide to proceed to actually going to court to defend themselves.
All the cases are against individuals and as such, it's their personal decision.
BST should and I'm sure, will not take part in that decision making, but will support the individuals as required. |  | | |

First fan is in court this week, albeit just an administrative hearing. Another has had a meeting with Owen. Apparently this is an obligatory part of the process to see if a settlement can be reached | | | |

Tim has posted a public apology on Fansonline. |  | | |
| Legal Action Against Tim Fielding on 19:44 - Feb 12 with 3860 views | Since1967 |
The apology in full:
In recent months I have made several postings on fans' websites and social media (in my own name and under the pseudonym " TwelveAngryMen") in which I have referred to Karl Oyston and Owen Oyston as having "asset stripped" Blackpool Football Club; as having "misappropriated football generated funds“; and as having made large personal profits by buying assets from BFC at one price and then selling the same assets back to BFC at a substantially increased price.
I now regret making the allegations and unreservedly withdraw these allegations.
In particular I accept that the only part of the land on which the Travelodge hotel now stands was bought by Owen Oyston from BFC’s parent company Segesta Limited in 2007 and that the price he paid had been independently valued at fair market value. I accept that subsequently Owen Oyston sold that land, together with other land on which the Travelodge hotel has been developed and constructed by him, for a price that had again been independently valued as fair market value. I also accept that Segesta now receives substantial on-going financial benefit from the rental income of over £500,000 per year payable by Travelodge hotel.
I accept my comments may well have led others to think that I was alleging that Karl Oyston and Owen Oyston had acted dishonestly in relation to BFC. My comments were not intended to make any such allegation, and I accept that any such allegation would be unwarranted and a serious misrepresentation.
I recognise that my actions have, in view of my position as Chairman of the BST (Blackpool Supporters Trust) helped to generate hostility towards the Oyston family. With hindsight, I am clear that I should not have made those postings and I very much regret having done so.
I hope other users of social media, will see how damaging untrue and inaccurate postings can be.
I would like to sincerely and unreservedly apologise to Karl Oyston and Owen Oyston for the harm distress and financial losses my comments have caused them (and by association the football club).
In recognition of this, I have agreed with their suggestion that I should make a donation to the Blackpool FC in lieu of damages and legal costs.
After a frank discussion with Owen Oyston, I acknowledge that Mr Owen Oyston is a genuine fan of the football club and that he and his family have only the best interest of BFC at heart. I recognise the Club is now in a significantly healthier financial position that when the Oyston family first became involved with it. I note the combined net asset value at cost of Segesta and BFC were £32,000,000 as at May 2014 compared with minus £42,000 in May 1987. I accept that the Oyston family is, and has always been, for the financial stability and success of the Club.
I believe that whilst fans and management may sometimes have differing views as to how best to seek to replicate the Club’s recent success on the pitch, it is fundamental that everyone should work together rather than create divisions.
I resigned as Chairman of BST in January.

If the sums involved are correct they seem to consider alleged asset stripping 4 times worse than alleged spreading of std's, how strange is that!! Feel for Tim and his family as he seems like a straight up guy, doesn't bode too well for the guy in court in a couple of weeks imho |  | | |

Thank you for the statement Tim. It's obviously genuine and I can see that you've really thought about it and it comes from the heart.
Ever the PR man, Owen has again proven how to self-promote his image and this is by far better than the 'fall into swimming pool' estate agent advert.
I applaud you Mr Oyston with regard to bringing evermore awareness to our plight. | | | |

Whereas the O's have to skulk around and pretend to put on a brave face whilst they are beefing up their bodyguard network, Tim can walk around with his head held high.
A true Gentleman if ever there was one.
I admit to having been a so called bumspider for many years, but, over the last two seasons my opinions have gone from fairly positive to completely negative where they are concerned.
I would put on record that Tim's posts in no way coloured my views of them. |  |

Tim was left with no other option but to put his family and career first. He's done the right thing and all right minded fans know why.
Once again, this is a massive PR disaster for the Oystons. When will they learn that antagonising the fans can only end in tears for them? | | | |
