FA releases Oyston texts



Earlier this month the governing body handed Oyston a suspended six-week suspension which will begin on July 8, fined him £40,000 and ordered him to take an education course following abusive and insulting comments he made in a text-message exchange with supporter Stephen Smith back in mid-November.

The full details of those comments have now emerged with the FA publishing statements Oyston sent in their written reasons for the charges.

They included: "Well I am doing pretty well for someone so clueless

You on the other hand clearly haven't a lot of any worth in your life so take to sending retarded texts to people you don't know judging them ..

"..

Sorry your life is so s*** but that's only your fault not mine

Enjoy the rest of your special needs day out

"Are you sure we have met, I would have remembered such a massive retard

Business is great thanks and awash with money ..

"..

Impossible to have a meaningful conversation with such a f*ctard as you

The day you ever advise me about anything other than paint colour will not come

"I do ask for help just not from an intellectual cripple like you

When and if I need it

You are hilariously stupid as your type always are

Done f*** all, got f*** all, full of ideas how other people should spend their money

Get real you thick t***."

The texts were sent after Oyston's number had been published on a social media website last season during a time when supporters were becoming increasingly irate at his handling of the Seasiders

Smith had contacted Oyston first and, during their exchange, he assured him that a group he was a member of would "crush you", accused the Blackpool chairman of being a "financial retard" and made a personal reference to one of his sons

That provoked Oyston to react with a string of expletive-laden messages which eventually resulted in the FA charges and subsequent ban from the game

In the findings, it was also revealed that Oyston's ban had been delayed until next month to allow him to devolve power to someone else, allowing the club to run during the transfer window in his absence
