Fleetwood Town owner jailed for 13 years over £15m fraud as club makes statement

Disgraced Fleetwood Town owner Andy Pilley has been sentenced to 13 years behind bars after being found guilty of fraud totalling £15m.

The 53-year-old learnt of his punishment at Preston crown court on Tuesday afternoon having been convicted in May of four offences relating to mis-selling energy contracts to small businesses and charities.

But the League One club insists that it will continue to operate as normal despite their owner being jailed and they are in discussions with the EFL about what happens next.
