Talking of League 1, I can see Fleetwood going to the wall now that the owner is going to jail. Completely unsustainable club without his millions.

13 years he's got.

Got to feel for fleetwood town, the fraud has not happened at the football club itself mind im guessing he took over when they were lower down the ladder as he had already been in jail. Mind as much as he deserves jail folk get less for murder and that scum that attacked a bloke with acid after mistaken him for someone else never even got half that sentence

Is he the bloke that wanted to buy Blackpool, was turned down by tte Oystons so he bought Fleetwood with the intention of getting them higher than Blackpool?

His ill gotten gains entirely funded the football club, at the expense of other clubs over the seasons. I don’t think the few Fleetwood fans they have can have any complaints.
And I’m sure he’ll not spend more than 5 or six years in jail.
