Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has insisted that he has “no desire” to sell or for him to leave the League One side.
A number of Tangerines supporters have protested at the way the club has been run in recent seasons.
Oyston rejected a bid to buy the club from the Blackpool supporter’s trust in October , as well as another bid from an unnamed source.
“There is a massive appetite to deal with the problems we’ve got on and off the pitch.
“The ‘on the pitch’ ones are hopefully well on the way to repair and stability. The off-field problems, in some cases, may be repairable. In some cases, they may not.”
Protests from Blackpool fans against Oyston have continued throughout this season.
Blackpool, who were a Premiership club in 2010-11, were relegated from the Championship last season and are currently 18th in League One, just four points above the relegation zone.
None of the protests have been on the scale of what happened on the final home game of last season, when more than 2,000 people protested with a pitch invasion later which caused that match to be abandoned.
These sorts of protests were a regular occurrence, an example of a fractious relationship that has developed between fans and chairman.
Last summer, Oyston was banned from all football activity for six weeks and fined £40,000 for sending abusive texts to a fan.
Then in November, Karl Oyston and his father, Owen, bothwon £20,000 in damages after they defamed by a fan on a website.
“It’s taken a long time, probably a lot longer than I would’ve thought, and some of the damage will never be fully repaired.”
The 10th March is a big date at Blackpool football club, as Oyston has offered several supporter’s groups the opportunity to meet with him in an attempt to improve relationships between the boardroom and the fans.
“Each and every party will get the chance to deal with their agenda points, ask questions, answer questions and discuss things,” Oyston remarked.
“I’ve got particularly hostile feelings towards one or two individuals that I think have gone way above and beyond anything that’s reasonable, but I think it does no harm for any of us to sit down, go through that and where the other side is coming from.”
