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

If you're referring to who I think you mean, he's up north with family and literally no Internet but do carry on. |
literally no internet? really? somewhere in the outer hebrides I take it? Thought not. Spineless. | | | |

That's why some fans' comments to set up some kind of defence fund linking the two cases has to be resisted.
I for one, am uncomfortable with the alleged personal comments made by TRUTH which have nothing to do with the financial comments made by BST and others.
As such, there is no logical case for linking the two other than they are two Blackpool fans being sued by the Oystons.
That may be harsh, but if Tim intends fighting this, he should do it as his own standalone case. After all, it's his livelihood and financial future that's at stake. |
I actually agree with Wiz - Truth was warned at the time on fansonline. We need to all back Tim. | | | |

Why should TAM make a public apology?
That would be an admission of guilt not only on a personal level but in terms of BST.
Can imagine it has caused some discomfort but what has he or BST done wrong.
Asset stripping is exactly what they have done.
Catastrophic consequences-c'mon this will never see a courtroom
The only thing i am not sure about is the standing down but i understand it takes up a lot of time and TAM will need to focus his energies elsewhere until this matter is dealt with.He also has his professional reputation to maintain and would not be surprised if the O's have other dirty tricks up their sleeves.As a solicitor he will belong to the Law Society and i am sure they have a code of conduct which he will have to adhere to. | |

This latest move completely baffles me. Every statement about how money has gone from the club into various Oyston businesses is all there in the accounts, as the likes of Khon Kaen and ODB have demonstrated many times. As such, BST have used the same base data that Owen is using to demonstrate how wonderful they've been.
Very odd turn of events with potentially catastrophic impact on Tim's life. As such, the next steps have to be his sole decision, not that of internet forums promising to help. When it comes to it, it's not our livelihood at stake.
For what it's worth, I think he has a far better defence that TRUTH, if what has been posted elsewhere is right. The two cases are completely different in that the allegations made by the latter are of a far more personal nature.
As such, I don't think the two should be lumped together but treated as separate. |
I agree Wiz,
The two cases are so so different, Tim has always been the consummate professional in the way he has gone about OUR business, whilst T.r.u.t.h.has been at times well over the top and cringeworthy at times.
I have no problem contributing to the fighting fund for Tim, but not for Truth.
Long before his identity came to light along with his court date i voiced my opinion about Truths posts, he made some awful claims, but whilst i think the Oystons should rise above this and not sue, some folk were warned and chose to ignore those warnings.  |  |

I haven't seen it mentioned on here but you can donate to Tim's legal fees via the BST website. I have sent money and plenty from Fansonline also have.
If this has already been posted, my apologies. | | | |

I also have had it confirmed today that TRUTH does not want a penny from the fans fund.
This is set up to deal with the case of TAM and others with similar cases.

Pleased to hear that. I wanted to back Tim but I'm worried it's a losing battle for TRUTH. Hope I'm wrong there. |  | | |

In suspect the TRUTH may be rather more enlightening than people imagine. If TRUTH's case ever reaches a courtroom, it will certainly be a crowd puller. | | | |

I can't help remembering that the Oystons don't have to disprove him, he has to prove specific personal charges.
I really don't see how he can do that, and for that reason, I can't see how he could win.
As i see it, his only hope is to issue an apology and suck it up, excusing the unpleasant image, given the nature of the allegations.
By contrast, TIm's issue is whether he wants to take the huge financial risk involved and prove that the Oystons have not had the best interests of the club at heart by removing funds that were needed for the core business in favour of other enterprises. At face value, that is easier to prove, because it comes down to interpretation of the figures in the accounts, and not the testimony of individuals.
Having said that, as I said before, it's a huge risk, and I wouldn't blame him at all for deciding to not put himself and his family through that kind of strain.
While he might have the cyber backing of plenty, even if they all donate a few quid, it will be nothing like the financial risk he will be carrying. [Post edited 15 Jan 2015 11:51]

You are correct Wiz, both sides will seek to ensure that the truth comes out in court, whatever that may be. Based on whatever the truth is proved to be I suppose it would then have to be determined whether or not TRUTH had spoken the truth or whether his comments could be deemed reasonable based upon the truth and of course, whether serious harm has been caused as a result.
It will certainly be a very revealing case though and one which I'm sure will grab peoples attention.
It's hard to comment on Tim...My view is that the bravado of many on the messageboards is very unlikely to be backed up with any serious contribution in cold hard cash.
It's all very sad that anyone is facing court cases to be honest. | | | |

It's scandalous that the owners feel that court action is appropriate and proportionate to comments made by fans on discussion groups.

The fact it's even gone this far and court proceedings have been muted, nails any doubt that the Oystons give a toss about the club and the fans.
Any decent owners would have acted a long time ago to try and pacify things, and not cause such massive division between them and the paying customers.
Seriously, can you think of any other football club/business/company owners who would let things get as toxic as this?
I still can't quite believe it's gone this far.
Wiz is right, It's unbelievable. So avoidable as well.
These are sad and very dark days for our football club. | | | |

This is a tipping point for opinion going massively against them, as seen by the much greater support for 'Stand up if you've had enough' | | | |

As far as most fans are concerned the O's pressed the self destruct button quite some time ago. This affair only further aggravates an already desperate situation. Whether or not the Oystons realise it (or care) is another matter, of course. [Post edited 15 Jan 2015 22:00]
