Fao the ultras going to gillingham. Get 'one paul whitehead' going

Hi Paul or is it one of your relatives, changed your user name recently?

 

FWIW he seems a decent bloke in the short dealings I've had with him, although his stance on Evans vastly differed to mine, but this is simply awful.

Paul whitehead is a precious little soul. Takes offence at every little comment made about the stand. Offers little meetings with people who question things. That and starts arguments with children who slag David mellor off.

 

People are right to question the building of this stand because it's been a bit of a joke really. From the research and budgeting that's gone into it. The delays. Only doing work on it when we sell players. Can't see it being done in time for next season like corney has said!

 

I hope I'm wrong though.

What happened to the regular new stand blogs we were getting at first?

I think a lot of the frustration amongst fans recently, regarding various subjects at the club, is the lack of communication.

I know we can't be privy to all the goings on at BP, but the new stand for example, is of great interest to all the fans ( we've waited so long for something positive like this ) I think it's understandable that people are craving information. It would also put to bed u founded rumours etc. communication is the key.

The blogs and the web cam stopped when the cash ran out. The staff were told to take the cam down.

 

Corney needs some good PR, we cant afford a decent forward so some cladding will do. I'd be amazed if construction doesn't grind back to a halt again.

It's a lot easier to finance house building because you get money back when they are sold!!

 

Why does everybody keep quoting Fleetwood when they have a wealthy chairman happy to keep pumping money into the club. Have you been to Port Vale recently? They have a stand construction that hasn't moved in years.

 

We have little or no money. Simples.

not being funny but why is cash flow or lack of it Paul Whiteheads fault?

 

why are people slagging him off? forgive me if ive missed anything but the stand not being finished yet isnt anything he himself can change, would you build a stand if money's not in the accounts?

I assume that like a house, once the roof gets put on things will quicken up. Maybe the cladding was delayed because of the terrible weather we've had since the turn of the year making it impossible to lift them into position.

I wish you'd stop letting the facts get in the way of a good conspiricy Coco :grin:

so lets get it right, you arent happy when you cant see anything happening with the stand and you arent happy when can see something.....

Agreed Kieran, he and his wife own a small amount of non voting shares in the Company building the stand-at least I think it is that Company building the Stand but as it is late in filing its Accounts at Companies House-we really do not know! Non voting shares where have we heard that before!

I'm always happy pal. I never expected the stand to be on time. Very pleased with SC's comments post Evans about the stand but I know the fans haven't been kept in the loop.

 

I've bought my posh brick next to Palmer, reckon I'll see it 2016/17.

I'll put my head above the parapet, to say that those folk slagging off Paul Whitehead need to give their heads a wobble; I've known the Whitehead family professionally for more years than I care to remember, to the extent that I now think of them has personal friends. Because he and his brother are Oldham Athletic fans through and through, their company is constructing the stand on terms that no other company would entertain. Yes there have apparently been problems (I know not what) but they won't be of the Whitehead's making. Paul and his brother, are continuing their association with the club that was started by their father - another gentleman who's word was his bond. I can well understand people's frustrations, but don't take it out on those doing their best to full fill your aspirations.

I dont mind Paul Whitehead even though we have differences on regards to David Mellor not good enough for this level but this is my opinion which i am entitled to like he is. Also we have had a problem with the stand going rusty at the top which many people have spotted its not a personel insult towards him. At the end of the day we are all latics fans

OWTB - Only Wankers Talk Bollocks....

 

Mods I'd get the begging the bowl out again if I was you. I can see this one costing. Divulging people's daughters' addresses has legal implications as do the myriad of potentially libellous comments. But keep them coming. The dossier is growing.

 

Give them enough rope and they'll finally hang themselves. Character assassination on a fans' forum is not a victimless crime.

The police will need a dedicated owtb team.

Perhaps he's building the stand he doesn't have to answer to you, but as you appear to be an expert in the construction of a new stand no doubt you will be welcome to knock down and rebuild the main stand no doubt you will do a better job.

Yep, me too. I'd always got on very well with him until relatively recently and I don't for one minute imagine he's doing anything other than the best he can for the club in terms of the stand. It might take longer than anticipated, but I'm sure it will soon be up...

Is he building the stand? That's news to me!
