Difference is I knew Moore had the money, I don’t with Lemsagam nor did I with Corney. Moore did bankroll the club at the tune of over £5m during his tenure and we were able to sell off players he bought to cover some debts and entice Chaytow at the time because that loan was written off. I agree that Moore, Corney, Lemsagam were/are staking the club beyond our means. I don’t want to sully the appointment of Scholes because this could well be the catalyst if Lemsagam leaves him to recruit and select. However how are we affording him if the rumours are correct that it’s £300k salary?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is Corney, ( and to some extent Blitz and Gazal ) stayed loyal to the club for 14 years it and without them Oldham Athletic wouldn’t be in existence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Did Moore actually end up in prison I know their was dodgy dealings going on with Torex but I think he avoided prison right? Moore Jailed for 30 months So he did hope someone had fun with him in the showers. Edited February 9, 2019 by GlossopLatic I googled the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he got sent down for 30 months but didn't serve that long inside- he was released early on a tag/licence. https://www.witneygazette.co.uk/news/10502090.jailed-bosses-who-lost-17m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyresie said 300k on here and now most choose to accept that he’s had a glance at the contract before Scholes even signed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 40 minutes ago, Midsblue said: Thats what happened. He pumped money in with big plans, couldn’t afford the £50k a week extra because his wealth plummeted. Between Spring and Summer 2003, his wealth dropped by 66% as share value of Torex dropped off a cliff. You really need to read up on it. His 'wealth' plummeted because it never existed. Torex was a fraudulent enterprise built on false accounting which was the reason its shares were as high as they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
