Yes... but isn't there someone else like that who also has an affinity with the cub and isn't 70 years old? Anyhow. Good luck to him, he should be in football.

Isn't he fronting a consortium that are making a 22 million pound takeover of Wigan? I would call that coming with a fair old wedge in your back pocket,unlike some Mickey Mouse football club owners.

Why wouldn't a man of 50 years football experience at many levels and in a huge variety of roles be of value to the board of a football club?

Are you trying to convince us that this is a bad idea? because to me it seems a far better proposition than spending an alledged £3 million plus on a League 2 club that is on it's arse !

They are only just outside of the playoff places ( although that doesn't mean much yet ) plenty of potential,some decent players,ground and training facilities being acquired too. One small,yet massive step away from Premiership financial jackpot. I would have a crack at it and am sure many others would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can compensate by using the undeserved attention that the thread is getting to promote World Sight Day and the plea for more corneas to be donated. As a recipient myself I know how vital it is that they are available when needed. https://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/139/main-news/122879/nurses-plea-for-people-in-oldham-to-donate-their-sight Edited October 11, 2018 by laticsrblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
