GlossopLatic Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) "Lemsagam says the Oldham supporters were the reason why he got involved with the football club and has claimed to have spent £5million since taking charge" I dread to think what he spent on Vera and Sylla if that's the case. If he goes legal wins and proves he's put £5million into the club I will take it all back. I'm abit sceptical about that.

He has said that before, and even if its true it doesn't detract that the club is being run like Billy Smarts circus with him at the helm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 5 million? That’s over £350,000 per month since he took over last January yet we can’t pay a few grand for gas bills, coaches and pension contributions... I’m not having that figure. The man is a pathological liar, you’re a fool if you believe him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Say what you want about abdallah, most of it won’t be far off I’m sure. But he’s a fighter, most of these forgein owners are completely faceless. (Think Orient) Yes he controls his output, but at least he defends himself, which he has every right to do. FWIW I still think Scholes left because the overall situation was so poor. IE shit squad/no money/erratic owner. All things he knew when he took the job. It was an easy out to just blame AL. I would still prefer him to go as I think things have become quite toxic. However I do believe abdallah wants the club to do well, he just has a very warped idea of how to achieve it IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it fighting I'd call it a spectacular lack of self awareness. He appears to not have any idea is doing anything remotely wrong.

Hang on.... aren’t you a journalist ? Look. I just think the absolute truth will be somewhere in the middle. Are you saying journalists aren’t guilty of the occasional hyperbole and sensationalism? I’m not saying your story is entirely fabricated. Anyhow. You are saying your article is 100% true. So obviously that means you are saying AL is lying in his Sky Sports interview. If you are telling the truth then you are saying he is lying. That’s fine. You are standing by your story, thank you for clearing it up. Good enough for me.

Mike is likely to be only passing on part of what has gone on being very careful about what he says. He will have to pass stringent tests with his editor about how true the allegations are.Eventhough it is the Mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is, we move on. Hopefully ground ownership secures our long term future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see this is why I keep saying it would have been very helpful for Scholes to add some meat to the bones of his original and all too brief statement when he walked out last week. He has left more questions than answers. Maybe this would also add a little more credence to other similar stories about this current chairman which would in turn build up a more accurate picture. As things stand , we don't really know what the truth is and probably never will and the soap opera will continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand , we don't really know what the truth is and probably never will and the soap opera will continue. Point one I’m surprised he said as much as he did and won’t say more. Point two AL has virtually come out and called him a liar. If he is exaggerating he will stay quiet. If he isn’t is it not slander and a good case?

True Tic Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 This is my point, because of his ludicrously short stay with us, I think he owes us, the fans, a little more in the way of an explanation of the issues which led to him leaving. I mean, to realise a long held ambition to manage your boyhood club, an 18 month contract, a plan? strategy etc only to ditch it all after a month. It doesn't make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
