New chairman has been fined over £1,000 for gambling while he was in charge of Southport. Won't change takeover though. Already posted under transfers but think it deserves it's own thread.

It's something DH was aware of when negotiations began. |

It's just from being unaware of the rules. Never placed any substantial bets, never betted on Southport's league. Has no bearing on anything to do with the club.

Has no bearing on anything to do with the club. truth be told as long as you never bet against your own club/team its almost a zero in the 'offences by gambling or caused by gambling'... only thing I would say is that it does show a lack of intelligence to actually get caught seeing there are so many obvious ways to gamble from 'afar'... |

I have to admit I am a little concerned that at the time of some of the offences the then Chairman of Southport Football Club was unaware of FA Betting Rules!

Especially when you think the average supporter would probably know that it would be against the rules. Even if he didn't know when he started back in 2015, there have been fairly high profile cases that have received a lot of press, Joey Barton particularly springs to mind, how could he have missed that?! |

Maybe in the second part of the interview he tells us the winner of the 3.15 at Lingfield

Why do wealthy people bet? Especially small stakes like seems to be the case here
The thrill for the average Joe is that a win may cover rent for a week or go towards a holiday. When you're minted surely there's no such thrill unless you're gambling to win big bucks

Maybe he just didn’t know the rules. It’s not like he’s from a legal background or anything. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.

Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. why do it in a way that can come back to you?? not sure either how you can become part of running a football club and not read the frigging rules on stuff?? its an inauspicious start at best.. guess they all do it, trick is not getting caught.. |

Clearly just trying to get that one lucky win to give him enough brass to by his beloved Town without the need to use the Parachute Payments...😉

Yes I was being sarcastic Galph. Phil is Dodgy. He has a chequered past. If it weren’t for Dean’s interest I don’t think he’d have been even considered. I think Dean needed to make the change and Phil was the only option he had. I don’t have any optimism about his tenure and I foresee a managed decline into settled lower league status with the club making a regular income for Phil and Pure legal. |

Hoyle made it clear it wasn’t the only option he had. What were the alternatives? Mr Hoyle added: “I have run a full sales process and there was serious interest in the Club from around the world. Appointing the correct successor is as important to me and my legacy as everything else I have achieved. "I have chosen Phil not just because he is an astute business man with strong desire and determination to succeed, but because as ‘one of our own’ he will always have the Club’s best interests at heart. He’s a Town fan and he really gets what this Club is all about. |

I don’t agree with Deans comments either - not about being an astute businessman, or this parochial nonsense about ‘one of our own’. That’s more of a soundbite to appeal to and reassure the fans. It doesn’t appease me. His background is in the grubbiest sector- personal injury of a horrid grubby sector of the economy. People like Phil make money from other people’s misfortune and anxiety. He’s not a businessman who’s actually ‘created’ anything. Ive read up on this guy and I don’t like how he comes across at all. I don’t even want to be involved with someone like that at the helm of the club. |

To be honest mate football is one of the most corrupt sports in the world so I wouldn’t worry too much about a guy who has made money from all the plebs of society claiming for their non existent injuries. |

The irony, Joe, is that defamation is a civil offence with no prison sentence, just a payment of damages to Phil to pile on top of his apparent ‘dodgy’ wealth.

I have to hope there is a plan to sell in the near future depending on our success or lack of it..hope its already been agreed...someone wants a Premier league team or wants to invest some money now to buy at a later date at todays price if we do succeed or to be able to 'walk' if we dont,with only the agreed investment being 'lost'.. there are only 20 premier clubs maybe we will see shrewd investments with pre agreed takeovers at other championship or below clubs??? speculate to accumulate without the initial huge sum?? and being able to leave the agreement on said date with a loss you had already planned for.. just a thought? |
