Stagger Lee Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just a thought .... Maybe one of the reasons Paul whitehead is able to build the stand so cheaply is that he is building only when he has down time with other projects he is working on? Either way I'm sure he is a genuine Oldham fan and has the very best interests of the club at heart. Lets not start kicking out at someone who has in all probability exposed himself both financially and by reputation to a massive extent especially when we do know two things for certain :- 1.The currant running of the club has been less than stellar 2. None of us actually know the financial / contractual details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Or he and the company were chosen because they would keep schtum in the periods when money ran out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Is he building the stand? That's news to me! Yes then he's going to knock down the rest of boundary park and build houses on it which will make him £50,000,0000,000,000,000,000. Then wizo and the other great masterminds will turn round and say "told you so" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 When is he building the Stand? Just let them answer the questions that are raised by wizzo and others. When? Probably for the start of next season if not abit later but it's going to get built let them get on with it. If he spends all his time writing blogs and answering everyone's questions then the chances are it will get delayed further. Sometimes we have to accept we know very little about what's going on and just let the people that do get on with it, and before you know it the same people saying it will never get done will be complaining about: - the new stand is too small. - the view isn't very good. - Why do season ticket holders get priority. - I can never get a half time pie. - the rest of boundary park is crap.

ghostofcecere Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm sure there are people on this forum who would moan and criticise if we won the league, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season. It's as if they are looking for anything to have a go at, it seems the current target is Paul Whitehead......... god knows why, he's just doing his job!

singe Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have no problem with Paul Whitehead doing the stand. He's put more time and effort into OAFC than most. Of course, he can do a great deal on the stand, for the benefit of OAFC. Sure, it could go up quicker, but would cost considerably more. We are empoying someone who will be adaptable, as the plans have cahnged a lot. I am sure he is not making the money he could if it was a pure commercial project. But, I do feel he has attended the Barry Owen Academy of PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I don't think Paul Whitehead tracks back enough, leaves his full back too exposed too many times. And the number of times he has got to the line then shanked his cross with players over in the middle is unforgivable at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Builders build when they are paid, once the cash runs out they're bound to down tools. To blame anyone but the person signing the cheques is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Since when were builders in the business of providing PR for the people paying for their services? Spot on. The bloke has done more PR stuff than any other builder I'm aware of. As far as I'm concerned he's a good bloke working to improve our football club. Those giving him a hard time on social media need to engage their brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 To assume there is always someone to blame is ridiculous I presume if someone is slagging him off it must be to do with how the stand is going. To blame him is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Clad tidings from BP today. It was a hive of industry with many men on site.
