underdog Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Here is the Trust statement.... We are deeply concerned by the comments of Paul Scholes today and were not made aware of the conditions he was working under. We will seek an urgent meeting with the owner of the club, and make a further statement when we can. It’s not easy, but please be patient.

Like Corney, AL has no interest whatsoever in engaging with the Trust. It’s his club, not yours. And he’s never going to enter into any sort of dialogue of any substance.

BP1960 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 He will do as he likes whatever the Trust or anyone else have to say, he's made that pretty obvious. Only new owners will resolve this dire siuation IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Honest question; What do you expect to achieve even if he grants you a meeting, which I doubt he will? Will he tell you why Scholes left? Will he tell you his real plans for the club? Will he promise never to interfere again and stick to that promise? I don’t need to engineer a meeting to get the answers to these questions. Fuck Lemsagam. Here’s the questions we need answering - 1. What’s happening with the stadium purchase? 2. What’s the current debt situation of the club? 3. Subject to answering Q2, can we find focus all our efforts in finding someone to acquire the club minus Lemsagam’s crop of players and remove this cancer from the club? Surely this new Trust person who’s from this finance company knows people with deep pockets. Even get Scholes involved to help secure an owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Trust Oldham - there comes a time when you simply have to "do the right thing". It's obvious to a blind man with a stick that that time is now. You should immediately break ties with the club and become a powerful independent supporters' initiative - because boy are we going to need solidarity as fans going forward. Your "position" on the board is worthless - as is the shareholding in all honesty. If/when the shit really hits the fan, Trust Oldham, in its present guise, will be impotent despite all the pretence over the years that Trust Oldham holds some kind of position as "potential saviour". Send the strongest message to our owner that we have had enough of being treated like idiots. It's OUR football club and we all need to gather under one banner and prepare to fight a long war. I`m honestly not having a go - you have an opportunity now to do something really useful - but only by severing ties with a club in serious decline. We need a strong, INDEPENDENT supporters' trust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Just wish the Trust had the balls to release a statement to this effect 1-2 years ago. We may have been fan owned and in charge of our own affairs by now, which surely is what the end game is currently. Let's be truthful with ourselves as fans. There isn't going to be some moneybagged heroic local businessmen riding in to provide the capital to get us competing in the Championship. We need to mobilise with unity and start doing what we haven't done in a generation; enjoy being a supporter of Oldham Athletic Football Club. Whether that's at this level or a couple of levels down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Get the foundations sorted, and hopefully a bit of success to bring the feelgood factor back. A successful club will attract investment - see pompey with the Disney chap, and Swansea. Even Darlo at a lower level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. People need to stop caring about the results, league positions, or managers. The problems are deeper than that. We need to return to being a club first and foremost and then worry about the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a substantial move in that direction. I have been pushing for a degree of independence to relieve the trust of its otherwise conflicted position. There has been significant progress on that front in the last few hours with the PS situation being the event needed to trigger this change. You can expext to see a less constrainted and more vocal trust as a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
